From there, Sawyer Lewis executed the bunt perfectly and was picked up by Andalusia pitcher Sebaskin Stallworth who then tried to throw out East Brewton’s Tyler Pierce. Instead, the ball got away from Stallworth and Pierce came around and scored the winning run to give East Brewton a 4-3 opening round win over the Andalusia all-stars.
Both teams scored two runs each in the first inning and East Brewton followed with a run in the second inning to take a 3-2 lead. After a scoreless third inning, Andalusia tied the game in the top of the fourth inning. Neither team would score until the sixth inning when East Brewton was able to come away with the one-run win.
