High school roundup: Extras needed to decide tilt between Carolina Forest, NMB
Baseball
Carolina Forest 6, (at) North Myrtle Beach 5 (F/9): A 3-run rally by North Myrtle Beach knotted things at 5-all in the sixth, eventually forcing matters into extra innings. A wild pitch by the Chiefs pitcher Chase Hughes in the top half of the ninth would decide things, however, with the Panthers’ Max Ryerson scoring the winning run.
Carolina Forest catcher Christian Maggio was 1-for-5 in the game, that one hit a 2-run home run in the third. Josh Fultz was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored.
Chase Hughes finished 1-for-4 for the Panthers, bringing in a pair of runs of his own.
Dylan Doolittle led North Myrtle Beach in a losing effort, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.
