After having its season opener rained out on March 5, the Anderson County High School baseball team finally kicked off its 2025 season in style with a 4-2 victory over South-Doyle at ACHS.

Anderson County’s Easton Beaty broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the first inning with a three-run homer off Cherokees starter Grayson Harrell.

Beaty, who started the game in right field, also made his presence felt on the mound by pitching a scoreless seventh inning to earn the save.

Left-hander Daniel Unthank took the mound to start for Anderson County, pitching 4.1 innings, while allowing two runs on four hits and one walk. He struck out six batters.

Clay Fletcher contributed 1.2 innings of relief, giving up one hit and one walk, while striking out two.

Nolan Benson and Wil Ridenhour each doubled for the Mavericks.

Ty Wilson and Reece Wilkerson both singled and scored.

ACHS is spending spring break competing in a tournament in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
