RIDING THE MOMENTUM

Beaufort left fielder Tommy Winburn makes a diving catch for the second out during the top of the first inning against Bluffton last Wednesday. The visiting Bobcats won, 6-2, in 10 innings. Beaufort High baseball continued the momentum from a red-hot regular season finish to pull off another thrilling win Tuesday at home, opening the Class 4A District 6 tournament with a 5-4 walk-off win over West Florence. Tommy Winburn led off the eighth with a single, advanced on a sacrifice bunt, and took third and home on wild pitches to send the Eagles into a second-round game Thursday at Aiken. Zach Talbert drove in two runs and threw four scoreless innings in relief to earn the win. Photo by Bob Sofaly.
