The WSHS baseball team welcomed undefeated Cedar Creek (3-0) to town on Monday, 2-25. The JV squad dropped their game against Cedar Creek.

In Varsity action, the Tigers would once again have their faithful fans sitting nervously on the edge of their seats throughout the game.

This game was evenly matched and the Tigers faced a pitcher who has already committed to playing at the next level who throws in the high 80’s. But this did not intimidate the boys, as their bats were alive and well creating strong offense and the ball finding the gaps. The game was tied 8-8 after 7 innings forcing the game into extra innings.

The Tigers defense and pitching held Cedar Creek from crossing the plate. Bottom of the 8 th and the Winnfield Tigers had their top of the line up coming up to bat. The boys managed to get bases loaded with one out and the winning run standing 90 feet from the victory.
