Whitehall's bats were unable to do as much as they needed Thursday
in a doubleheader against Shelby. The Tigers squeaked out a 4-3 win in
game one and blanked the Vikings 5-0 in the nightcap.
Camden
Smith delivered the big blow for Shelby in the sixth inning, lacing a
two-out, two-run double that nearly cleared the center field fence.

Until
that point, Whitehall (2-9) had led since the first inning, in which it
scored three runs. Brock Morningstar connected on an RBI triple and
scored on an error to open the Vikings' scoring, and Myles Welch had an
RBI single later in the inning. However, it was all the offense
Whitehall could muster; the Vikings didn't get another hit in the game.
Welch took a hard-luck loss, striking out seven and allowing nine hits in six innings.
Whitehall
managed three hits in game two and hung tough until the sixth inning,
when DayDay Garcia broke the game open with a two-run triple. Ethan
DeShong pitched well, allowing no earned runs in four innings and
striking out four.
