WEAKLEY COUNTY INFORMATION

By Rory Higgins Sports Writer

The Greenfield 12 & under All-Stars completely dominated their opponents during the three games they played in the 12 & Under District Tournament held at Greenfield on Thursday and Friday.
Greenfield pitchers allowed only four hits (those coming in a 23-0 win on Friday night) throughout the tournament, winning all three games, scoring an average of just over 15 runs per game.

Greenfield 23
Trezevant 0
Much like the Greenfield boys had done a night earlier, the 12 & Under squad dominated their opponents from Carroll County, defeating the Trezevant squad handily.
Greenfield opened the game scoring four runs in the first inning then adding seven in the second inning, including a Dalton Potts three-run homerun. Greenfield added six in the third and six in the fourth to seal the win.

Greenfield 13
Medina 0
In the first game, while the Gleason and Trezevant teams played, Greenfield squared off against the team from Medina.
With Greenfield batting first, Dalton Potts was the opening batter of the game, starting things off with a nice double.
Fellow teammate Tyler Jones was next up and hit a triple to bring Potts home for the first run of the game, but certainly not the last. Three more runners made it home in the top of the first before a double play from Matt Hill, tagging a runner, and Josh Bridger, whom Hill tossed the ball to on second base.
Jones pitched a couple strikeouts in the bottom of the opening inning, followed by a groundout on first care of Logan Hampton, ending the first.
After Heath Crouse and Payton Page made it on base, Hampton brought Crouse home, who was then, in turn, brought home, along with Page, by hits from Matthew Fuller and Brady Medling. After the second, Greenfield was 7-0.
Greenfield continued to score more runs on their opponent in the third, as, after pitcher Tyler Schlesinger caught out the first hit, Potts hit a triple out to the right field fence.
Doubles from Jones and Crouse sent runners around the base, eventually adding four more points to the Greenfield scoreboard.
In the bottom of the third, a strikeout, a groundout from Jones, and a groundout from Adam Bethel ended the inning after three batters.
This trend continued into the fourth as Medina went three up and three down in the bottom of the inning while Greenfield added two more to their score in the top of it, winning the game, 13-0.

Greenfield 10
Trezevant 0
An hour later, Trezevant went on to play Greenfield that night and saw the same fate as Medina had earlier, losing to a double-digit lead in the fourth.
Greenfield struck early as Potts made a base hit and was brought home by a single from Crouse. After Hampton brought Crouse home on a double of his, Hampton made it completely round the bases after a hit out to right field from Fuller.
Trezevant's Ryne Woods was able to make it to first and steal second in the bottom of the first, but a groundout from Jones to first and a catch out from Potts quickly ended the bottom of the opening inning after four batters.
Neither team scored any in the second round, as two caught outs from Cody Gullett and Cody Newsome and a groundout from Dalton Dunn to first ended Greenfield's at-bat with only two men reaching bases.
Trezevant did not have much luck either after a couple walks and three strikeouts ended the inning.
In the third, Greenfield really took off with a total of seven runs, including two homeruns from Potts and Hampton. A caught out from Timmy Goode finally ended the small streak and the top of the inning.
Ten points ahead, Greenfield stayed with just that advantage into the fourth inning after some strikeouts put an end to their at-bats.
The Greenfield pitcher repaid the favor to Trezevant with three strikeouts to end the game, 10-0, Greenfield.
