The Chipley High School baseball team, hosting this years Dixie Majors tournament, won against Wahneta 12 to one July 12.
Chipley gained five runs in the first inning, partially due to the umpire’s inability to keep hold of the ball, and left Wahneta with only one.

In the third inning Chipley showed no mercy as they quickly struck out the first three batters. Once Chipley was infield they scored an additional three runs.

The fourth inning was the same as the third, with Chipley quickly striking out the first three batters to move on into the infield, where they would score an additional four runs.

In the fifth inning Chipley struck out the first two batters and the third was struck out after hitting a ground ball and not making it to first base, ending the game with a ten-ball streak.

“We played really well today and some of the younger players really stepped up,” said Scotty Rudd, Chipley player. “I wanted to thank all of our fans, it was really hot and you guys sticking with us means a lot.”

Hernando and Marion County were tied eight to eight at the bottom of the seventh inning with only one out when the rain postponed their game till further notice.
