The Knights made the just under hour and a half trek to North White High School to play MSD rival Northfield in the first round of sectional play. In a low scoring affair the Knights came away with a 2-1 win. Southwood got on the board in the second when Micah Smith reached on an error, stole second, and while stealing third there was another error allowing Smith to open the scoring. Southwood plated another run in the 4th when Ryan Deeter scored on a Coan Holloway RBI groundout. Northfield made it interesting in the 7th, but a heads up play by Jaret Denney ended the Norse season. Jaret Denney had a great night at the plate with two hits and robbed of a third one. Jaron Craft went the distance on the mound to collect the win. Hitting: Jaret Denney - 2 singles Dalton Barney - 1 single Coan Holloway - 1 RBI Micah Smith & Ryan Deeter - 1 run scored a piece Pitching: Jaron Craft (W) - 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K The Knights advance to play Caston on Saturday at 11 AM. The game is played at North White High School.
