In the second inning, Hicks delivered a triple to right field that brought home a run, and Casey followed with a base hit to extend the lead. Later in the inning, Campbell drove a ball to center field to score another run as the Bobcats built a multi-run advantage.
The Bobcats continued to add on in the middle innings, with Franklin delivering a key hit to drive in a pair of runs and push the lead to four.
However, Afton responded in the fifth, taking advantage of defensive miscues and timely hitting to score five runs and erase Berryville’s lead. The Bobcats were unable to recover as Afton closed out the 13-10 win.
Berryville used multiple pitchers in the game, with Willing, Mason Bickell and Campbell all seeing time on the mound.
