bottom of the fifth and one more in the lower half of the sixth playing “small ball.” The Bobcats rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh, getting a little help from a bobbled double play exchange from second baseman Jonathan Hodge. With the score tied at 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh, the Mavs had a runner at second — Hunter Melton — with two outs when (because this is how it should be) Hodge stepped to the plate. He singled home Melton and the Mavs took a key district win. Hodge (with batting helmet) is congratulated by teammates Caleb Wilhoit (left) and Ryan Moog after getting the game winning RBI.
