GREER, S.C. – The de facto Region 3-3A championship series between the Blue Ridge Tigers and Chapman Panthers concluded on Thursday evening in northern Greenville County. Missed opportunities came back to haunt the Panthers in a 10-1 loss to the Tigers.
Hudson Moss was hit by a pitch to begin the game and later advanced to third base, but the Panthers couldn’t drive him in. Over the next three innings, Chapman saw seven runners reach base safely – including a bases loaded situation with two outs in the second – but came up empty. On the night, the Panthers left a baker’s dozen on the basepaths. Blue Ridge (15-2, 6-0) struck for five runs in the third on the strength of three hits and a walk. Alex Kiniry batted in a run with a base knock, while Drew Culpepper plated a pair of runs with a single to center. Culpepper drove in a team-high three runs for the Tigers. Wesley Shipman singled, while Devin Roe and Cason Owens each earned a free pass to load the bases with two outs for the Panthers in the fifth. Jarren Metcalf smacked an RBI single to left, scoring Shipman to make it a 7-1 deficit at that juncture of the contest. Chapman (12-7, 4-2) turns its attention to a four-game-in-five-day stretch, beginning with a non-conference game at Chesnee on Monday at 6 PM. JV Baseball: Chapman 10, Blue Ridge 2 – Panthers sweep season series by a combined score of 20-2. Comments are closed.
