SHADY SPRING, W.Va. Tyler Mackey’s diving catch just steps shy of the right field fence in the seventh inning preserved a 2-1 win for Shady Spring over regional rival Bluefield Thursday evening.
In a game where the teams combined for just nine hits, the Tigers pushed the eventual game-winning run across in the bottom of the sixth. Adam Richmond scored his second run of the game when Evan Belcher reached base on an error. Belcher drove in Richmond with an RBI single in the second to account for Shady’s other run.
The decisive run in the sixth came after the Tigers failed to push across a run in the fourth and fifth innings when runners reached third base.
