Thomson took advantage of four Elbert County errors to score four runs in the fourth inning, on the way to a 6-4 victory Tuesday evening at Thomson High School.
In the top of the fourth inning, Elbert County took a 3-1 lead after scoring two unearned runs of its own. The Devils scored both runs on the same wild pitch, after the ball was misplayed and rolled to the backstop — Elbert County’s Will Walker scored from third base and Hunter Blackmon scored from second base.
Following Tuesday’s win, Thomson coach Jason Osborn had his team stay late and work on one single drill — constant repetition of retrieving wild pitches and then throwing the ball back to the plate quickly.
