The Bears played to extra innings. The Demons rolled. Both won. Whereas it took Houston County nine innings to get past First Presbyterian Day 2-1, Warner Robins beat Perry 10-1 in six and a half. It was the season opener for all; with each playing a scrimmage prior to that.

Both the Bears and Vikings went scoreless through three. Houston County put one on the board in the third when Dalton Carriker singled. Clint Wynn, who had three of the team’s five hits, also singled to move him to second. He moved to third on a sacrifice and came home on a fielder’s choice.

FPD tied it in the bottom of the seventh and Houston County won it in the ninth when Scott Daniel walked to lead off the inning. Following two strikeouts, Trent Jones then singled moving Daniel to third. Daniel scored when Jones broke for second and the Vikings attempted to gun him down.

Austin Wallace pitched five innings for the Bears. He didn’t give up a hit while walking only two and striking out eight. Wynn worked a third of an inning while Hunter Jackson worked three and two thirds. He also got the win, surrendering one hit – that a homerun that sent it into extra innings - walking two and striking out two.

As far as the Demons and Panthers, Perry actually got out front first with a run in the first. It stayed that way until Warner Robins, the host, plated one in the bottom of the third. The Demons then went on to score two runs in the fourth, two more in the fifth and five in the sixth.

In all they out-hit Perry 16-2.

Dillon Blackwell had three of those, going 3-4 and driving in three. Ty Odom also had three, going 3-5 and scoring once.

Landen Hattaway, Nathan Dempsey, Michael Lee and Parker Suggs each had two. Dempsey and Hattaway each drove in two.

Odom earned the win on the mound. He pitched four innings, struck out nine and walked only one.
