The Beaufort County 15-and-under All-Stars dropped two tight games to CWC Mohawk, including a heartbreaker that ended their run at the Diamond Baseball state tournament over the weekend in Sumter.
Beaufort County couldn’t dig out from an early deficit in a 5-3 loss to Mohawk in Friday’s opener, as Mohawk’s four-run first inning held up despite a late rally led by Remington Wheeler’s 3-for-4 night.
Wheeler played a big role in keeping Beaufort County alive with a 12-0 win over Fort Mill, tossing a two-hit shutout and going 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs to help end the game early on the 10-run rule. Denver Jones was 2-for-3 with three RBIs, James Williams drove in two runs, and Mason Music had two hits and scored twice in the offensive outburst.
The rematch began the same as the first meeting, as CWC Mohawk put up four runs in the first, but Beaufort County clawed back to tie it at 4 before the teams traded two-run frames in the fifth. Mohawk scratched across a run in the top of the seventh, and Beaufort County had the tying and winning runs in scoring position in the bottom half before Mohawk third baseman Tanner Ray snared Blake Martin’s line drive to end the threat.
