Virginia High held graduation ceremonies Friday night but Abingdon
handed them an extra lesson on Saturday night showing the Bearcats that
games are not won without defense. VHS committed six errors in the field
to lose 8-6 in eight innings allowing the Falcons to walk out with the
Highlands District Tournament trophy. Starting pitcher Justin Grimm was
charged with two earned runs in four innings and Preston Smith relieved
giving up one earned run. The Bearcats trailed by three in the bottom of
the fourth and battled back with four to take the lead. VHS also
benefited from a pair of Abingdon errors. Abingdon tied things up with a
run from a dropped third strike in the fifth and the Falcon pitcher
settled in keeping the Bearcats quiet the rest of the night. Abingdon
took the lead and the win with a two out walk followed by a triple and
the Bearcats sixth error of the night. VHS will host Tazewell on Tuesday
in the first round of Region IV play.
