Dresden Enterprise - Covering Weakley County Like the Dew from Heaven for 118 Years

The Greenfield Yellowjackets proved they are going to be a team to be reckoned with in District 14-A as the orange and black boys got a five-run first and a six-run fourth on their way to a 14-3 victory over the Lions on Monday afternoon at Wilson Park in Dresden.

The Yellowjackets got their going early. With the bases loaded an one out in the top of the first inning, Dalton Potts singled in a pair of runs to put the ’Jackets on the board. Daniel Ricketts followed with an RBI single. Ty Smithson rounded out the scoring later in the inning as two runs scored on a fielder’s choice to make the score 5-0.

Greenfield got back on the board in the top of the third inning as Yellowjacket pitcher helped his own cause with a leadoff homer. After reaching on a fielder’s choice, Daniel Ricketts scored on an error to make the score 7-2.

The Yellowjackets broke the game open in the top of the fourth inning. A pair of runs scored on an error to put Greenfield ahead by seven. Smithson reached on an error to plate another run to put the ’Jackets ahead 10-2.

A big second inning and a superb outing on the mound by Gleason’s Riley Auvenshine was enough to give the Lady Bulldogs an important 8-1 district win over the Lady ’Jackets on Wednesday afternoon at Greenfield.

An Auvenshine double and a Taylor Stout single set the tone for the inning as a three-run single by Breanna Wallace broke the scoreless tie.

The Lady Dawgs added to that score in the top of the third inning as Katlin Gaylord singled then scored on a passed ball to make the score 5-0.
