| Briefly OC bats silent again
in defeat to Gleason The Obion Central bats were silent for the second straight day as the Rebels got but two hits after collecting just one in their opener on Tuesday.
As a result, OC fell to Gleason 4-1 Wednesday.
Parker McMinn had an infield single and scored Central’s lone run on a RBI double by Brady York to account for the county locals’ offense.
York turned in a solid mound effort, despite being tagged with the pitching loss — giving up three earned runs and six hits in five innings. He struck out two and walked one.
Tanner Cary pitched a hitless inning of relief with a strikeout.
