Frisbee’s two-run shot in the fifth accounted for the 7-0 final.

Playing at home, the Mustang JVs dropped a 4-1 decision to Brevard.
“Jared Jones pitched a great game,” Coach Scott Manshack said. “We just didn’t give him any run support. The defense played well behind him.”
The JVs bounced back the next day to blast Pisgah 11-1 in five innings at Canton. Jesse Henkel hit a home run.
“The bats came alive,” Manshack said. “Josh Ammons pitched a great game.
He singled out Jordan Moss and Jacob Buchanan for their hitting and Andy Potter and Jones for their defense.
