Pope, Walton Baseball Return to Action

After some dramatic comebacks last week, the Walton baseball team stays at home in the Georgia High School Association tournament quarterfinals today seeking a less eventful way to stay on a roll.

The Raiders play host to Tift County in a Class AAAAAA doubleheader starting at 4 p.m. The second game is slated to start at 7 p.m.

If a third game is needed in the series, it would take place on Wednesday, also at Walton.

The Pope Greyhounds also had to pull out their second round series in Class AAAAA on Friday against Winder-Barrow, setting up today's quarterfinal series against Evans at Pope. 

The first pitch in the first game is at 4:30 p.m., with the nightcap starting at 7:30 p.m. A third game also would be played Wednesday at Pope.
