CHARLESTON, S.C. — Walker Valley’s baseball Mustangs wrapped up their spring break baseball foray to South Carolina Saturday morning with a win.

The squad went 2-1 over the trip and walked away from their final game against First Baptist of James Island with an extra inning 5-2 win.

Mustang batters had some catching up to do as their opposition pushed the first run across in the bottom of the second to go up a run and added another in the fourth to take a 2-0 lead.

Walker Valley responded by taking advantage of James Island’s six errors to plate a pair in the top of the fifth to tie the contest at two-all.

Late game heroics were in order as the contest went into extra innings. Jared Broome led things off with a big single, Caleb Longley delivered big with a big, bases-loaded two RBI double and Logan Longwith added an RBI single that brought the ’Stangs charging ahead to a 5-2 victory.

Longwith also recorded the win for Walker Valley, going four strong innings and only allowing a pair of hits while striking out four opposing batters.

Three runs crossed the plate in the top of the first for the Bradley County crew, allowing them to gain the game’s momentum.

But, Pinewood struck back plating a run in the first and second to make it a one-run Walker Valley lead.

Mustang hitters responded by tacking on two more runs in the fourth, a run in the fifth and another in the sixth to give them some breathing room.
