GARDENDALE The Pinson Valley baseball team has dropped its opening Class 6A, Area 12 series of the season thanks to a 2-0 home loss on Tuesday followed by an 8-6 loss at Gardendale on Thursday.
Thursday’s contest went back and forth with the Rockets (11-4, 2-0) surging for three decisive runs in their half of the sixth. The three-run blow broke a 5-5 tie and ultimately gave Gardendale the series-clinching win.
Rocket center fielder CJ Bryant singled the go-ahead RBI up the middle in the sixth, sending two runs in for a 7-5 advantage. Nick Rigdon then stretched the cushion to three runs with a sacrifice fly into right-center field.
Several local baseball and softball teams were in play this weekend in non-area play.
Among a mixed bag of results, the Hewitt-Trussville and Leeds boys remained unbeaten with Saturday sweeps.

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE A team of medics at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base took to Facebook Live Thursday morning to discuss the installation’s vaccine rollout with both Wright-Patt airmen and the public. The goal of the symposium was to help viewers make an informed decision about the coronavirus vaccine and answer questions from beneficiaries about the effectiveness of the shot.
The panel of doctors on Thursday, all of whom had been vaccinated, had experience in the ICU of Wright-Patt Medical Center caring for critically ill COVID-19 patients. Maj. Evan Fisher, a nephrologist at the base, saw “scores” of patients who experienced impaired lung function or kidney function after contracting COVID-19.
