Gordo shut out Greene County in its doubleheader Tuesday evening, as the Greenwaves’ pitchers held the Tigers to one hit in the first game and completed a no-hitter in the second. Gordo won game one 11-0 and game two by a score of 10-0. All of the Greenwaves’ runs would come in the first inning.
“We pitched well and did a good job of keeping them off balance,” Gordo head coach Jonathan Pate said. “We did a good job at the plate. We scored our runs early on and when we got enough to keep the 10-run mercy rule in effect we quit scoring.”
Gordo improved its record to 9-0 on the season, as the Greenwaves attempt to defend their Class 3A state championship crown.
