  • Grayson County stays hot

    Grayson County continued its offensive onslaught Friday and won for the sixth straight time since laying an opening-day egg, rolling to a 16-2, five-inning Mountain Empire District win over Galax at Felts Park.

    The Blue Devils (6-1) mustered all of three hits in a 6-0 loss at Glenvar to open the season but haven’t been held to fewer than 10 hits in a game since as their team average has risen to above the .400 mark. Friday, the team was a composite 16-of-30, with every starter accounting for at least one hit each.

  • Grayson hangs on

    INDEPENDENCE –– The fact that Grayson County had wasted a six-run lead in a loss to Glenvar two years ago was pointed out in the Blue Devils’ dugout Monday. Whether or not the subject was broached in the Highlanders’ dugout can’t be confirmed, but it nearly came up on the scoreboard nonetheless.

    Grayson County whacked its way to a 6-1 lead and saw Glenvar pull to within a run before the Blue Devils escaped with a 6-5 nondistrict win at the GNB Baseball Complex.

    HILLSVILLE –– Jeannie Utt’s drive into the right-centerfield gap could have been scored an error or it could have been scored a double, depending on the perspective of the official scorer. The play itself was a scorer, which was all that mattered to Carroll County.

    For the record, Utt was credited with a walk-off double when her deep gapper was misplayed, allowing Gracie Davidson to hustle home from second to cap a two-run rally that lifted the Cavaliers to a 3-2 win over Floyd County.
