OHATCHEE – Brent Honaker continued his hot start to his senior season, going 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles and driving in the winning run in the bottom of the 11th to give Ohatchee a 6-5 victory over Munford 6-5 in its home opener Monday.

White Plains jumped out 6-0 in the first and then added five in each of the third and fourth. Miles Austin and Wade Thompson both added two RBIs to the attack.
OXFORD 12, SPRING GARDEN 1: Hayden Gallahar and R.J. Brooks held Spring Garden to two hits over five innings and Hudson Gilman and Chance Griner both drove in a pair of runs as the Yellow Jackets won their fourth in a row.
The Jackets, installed Sunday as the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Calhoun County Tournament, pulled away from a one-run game with a six-run third inning.
RANDOLPH COUNTY 9, WEAVER 1: Zack Caldwell set down the first nine batters he faced in order, gave up two hits over seven innings and struck out 14 for the Tigers.
The only two hits he allowed came in the fourth on Elijah Smith’s leadoff double and Dalton Homesley’s one-out RBI single, then he retired the last 11 in a row.
