LEXINGTON — The Thrall Tigers varsity baseball team pulled out another close win, edging the Lexington Eagles, 6-5, on Friday, April 11, thanks to a wild pitch that allowed senior Maverick McAllister to score the go-ahead run in the sixth inning.

Thrall jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first after sophomore Jack Gustafson delivered a two-run single. Lexington responded in the bottom half, plating a run on a groundout to make it 2-1.

The Tigers extended their lead to 3-1 in the second inning by drawing a bases-loaded walk. They added another run in the third and one more in the fourth, capitalizing on another walk and a defensive error to stretch the lead to 5-1.
