Colquitt County High’s Vann Pitts did a little of everything for the host Packers in a 3-0 victory over Parkview in the first game of their Class AAAAA baseball series on Monday night.
On the mound Pitts threw a complete game shutout and at the plate he hit a solo home run.
The Panthers evened the series in the second game, winning 8-4 thanks largely to a two-run home run by Jack Esmonde. Jeff Ronpirin had a two-run double, Ryan Blanton added a three-run triple and Matt Olson had a sacrifice fly in the win.
The teams will meet for a series-deciding third game on Tuesday.
