The Thomaston-Upson All Stars defeated Wrens 5-3 Thursday to advance to the state championship series in the Dixie Youth 11-12 year old tournament.
The championship series is a best two out of three beginning Friday evening at 6 pm at the George H . Harris Baseball Complex, 131 Ragland Street in LaGrange.
Zach Gooden started for the T-U All Stars and pitched two innings, he struck out 4 of the 6 batters he faced. Rodney Raines pitched the final four frames, recorded 7 strikeouts and gave up three unearned runs.
Gooden picked up a couple of hits, Nash Franklin, Dupri Carter and Jaylen Martin each added a hit. Wrens rallied in the 6th inning and had the tying runs on base but Raines was able to put the fire out and preserve the win.
The trip over to LaGrange is about 50 minutes, the drive is easy, the facility where the games are held is easy to find and there is no excuse for Thomaston and Upson County not to turn out and support their team. Take 74 west to Woodbury, straight under the light to Greenville, stay on 109 under I-85, go about 2.5 miles and turn left at the first light past the Kia dealership, on Ragland turn left at the stop sign and your looking at the parking lot.
The Thomaston-Upson All Stars will play Friday at 6 pm and again at 10 am on Saturday morning, the third game if necessary will be played at 12;30 pm Saturday. The next team to win two games will advance to the Dixie Youth World Series in Carthage, North Carolina.
