MONTICELLO-Lawrence County handled McComb 10-0 Friday, in high school baseball action at Jimmie Davis Park. The victory completed a two-game Division 7-4A sweep of the Tigers. LCHS won, 16-0, at McComb’s Rotary Field on Tuesday.

With the win, Josh Garrett’s Cougars improved to 7-2 overall, and 2-0 in the division. This week, South Pike will be Lawrence County’s division opponent.

“Our guys took care of their business pretty well this week,” said Garrett, who is in his first year as head coach at his alma mater. “We’ve got an extremely challenging portion of our schedule ahead of us, but we’ve done decently so far. We need to play well in the division again this coming week.”

Kody Smith shut McComb out on just one hit on Tuesday. Kasey Durr stifled the Tigers on two hits in Friday’s game. A fourth-inning double by Kendrick Butler and a fifth-inning single by Kevonte Henry were McComb’s only two hits. The Tigers never got a runner to third base in the two games.

Lawrence County banged out three runs on six hits in the bottom of the first. Logan Greenlee had an RBI double and Brandon Bullock, a run-scoring single. The biggest blow of a four-run third inning was a two-run single by left-fielder Seth Bass.

Bullock’s second hit of the day was the key to the Cougars’ two-run fourth inning. Rishad Haynes had a sacrifice fly. Lawrence County’s clinching run, in the bottom of the fifth,\ came with a base hit. That run ended the game via the 10-run rule.

Lawrence County also won in junior varsity action, 2-0, as Trey Thurman and Marcus Atterberry fashioned a two-hit shutout. Thurman worked three innings, and Atterberry worked the final two. Thurman had a double, and Payton Davis added a single. Both Cougar JV runs came in the first inning with the benefit of a base hit.
