MOULTRIE — There are two attention-getting streaks going on in Region 1-AAAAAAA baseball.

Lowndes High pitching recorded a shutout for the fourth and fifth region games in a row Friday to sweep a doubleheader at home vs. Camden County. The Vikings scored two runs on a two-out hit in the bottom of the sixth to beat the Wildcats 2-0 in Game 2 and improve to 5-1 in the region standings.

They are tied with the Colquitt County High Packers. The 10-0 and 7-0 wins for the Packers, on Friday at Packer Park, over Tift County High mean four straight shutout losses in region play for the 0-6 Blue Devils.

Tift County’s troubles went beyond trying to push any kind of scoring across the plate. Earned run averages for Mason Avant and Trey Barfield — the two starting pitchers — didn’t take much of a hit as a good portion of Colquitt County scoring was of the unearned variety.

Cory Newsome, Colquitt sidearming senior signed to pitch collegiately for Gordon State, went six complete innings to win Game 1. He scattered four hits, induced 10 ground ball outs and did not issue a walk.

Of the four Blue Devil hits, three came in one inning. It was the top of the second, and despite singles by Owen Manning, Keenon Webb and Will Weeks, the visiting team left the bases loaded. The key play was — after the Manning and Webb hits with nobody out — a hard bunt back to Newsome where he had plenty of time for a force out at third base.

The fourth Tift hit was by Barfield in the fifth.

Packer second baseman Dylan Dalton drove in four runs. Even though Barfield’s diving catch in right field took away a hit for Dalton, it was still a sacrifice fly in a two-run fourth inning.

JC Harden, football’s backup quarterback in 2017, made his first start at first base and drove in three Packer runs, including a two-run single in a three-run first-inning.

In Game 2, Ethan Phillips was the winning pitcher giving up one hit to Keshaun Mays (third inning) in 6 1/3 innings. Phillips fanned seven and walked three.

Colquitt had a four-run third inning, all scoring unearned. The Packers also had single unearned runs in the fifth and sixth.
