After a sweep of Lovett in the Class 2A championship series – 5-2, 8-3 -- Jeff Davis successfully defended the program’s 2019 title while capturing the third 2A championship in four seasons -- 2017, 2019 and this season.
In the first game, Jeff Davis trailed 2-1 early before scoring four runs in the sixth inning to secure the 5-2 victory. The Yellowjackets had seven hits and one error. Lovett had eight hits but failed to plate runners while three errors gave Jeff Davis the advantage.
The second game was a more lopsided effort and after leading 2-1 the Yellowjackets took control with a six-run third inning and kept control, winning 8-3.
