POPLARVILLE, Miss. (WDAM) - It’s hard to ask a team to come from behind in back-to-back games. It’s even harder when the opposition is the fifth-ranked team in the country, but No. 2 Pearl River did just that Tuesday evening at Dub Herring Park, defeating No. 5 Meridian 7-3 in game one and using a walk-off single in game two to win 7-6. “They gave us all we wanted today. I am proud of my guys and how tough they are. They refused to lose today,” Pearl River coach Michael Avalon said. “We took their best shot and found a way to win. These are two very big wins for our program.”
