The Roanoke Rapids High School Yellow Jackets Varsity Baseball team scored a 6-5 non-conference win over the Hertford County Bears on Wednesday night at Doyle Field.
Tyler Shearin picked up the win on the mound pitching six plus strong innings giving up 5 runs. Colby Warren picked up the save by closing out the game in the 7th inning.
Post game comments from Jackets Coach Mark Snead, "This was a good win for our team. Tyler pitched really well for us and Colby did a great job closing out the win. We hit the ball well, but kept hitting it right at them. We finally strung some hits together in the last 2 at-bats to put multiple runs on the board. After getting down early, the guys stuck with it, pulled together, and rallied for the win. I am proud of the team tonight."
With the win, RRHS improves to 7-2 overall on the season. The Yellow Jackets will be back in action on Friday when they host Southern Vance. Game time is set for 6pm.
