In the first matchup this past Tuesday playing at home, Winnfield, ranked #7 in the state, defeated many in a thrilling victory 2-0.

The boys then traveled to many on Thursday to finish the series and play a double header. The stands were filled with tiger fans from many and Winnfield knowing one of the tiger teams was going to walk away with the championship.

The first game was played at home and was halted as the Tigers were coming up to bat in the bottom of the 4th inning. The Tigers had a 10 – 0 lead, when the game was stopped due to bad weather. The Red River coach conceded defeat so the game could count, as it was only in the 4th inning.
