Natchez wins one, loses another

Published 9:41 am Sunday, March 11, 2007

In the first game of a doubleheader, Johnny Williams held the Cowboys to just three hits, Cameron Logan went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and Desmond Smoot had a triple as the Bulldogs held on for a 6-3 win.

Held on because Humphreys County scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to cut Natchez High’s lead to 4-3. But the Bulldogs responded with two runs of their own in the top of the fifth.

The second game didn’t turn out the same for Natchez High (7-5) as the Simmons Blue Devils jumped on Bulldogs pitcher Thomas Hughes for five runs in the first three innings, including three in the bottom of the third.
