Tigers back in action Friday at Lake Cormorant

Having picked up their first district win on the road April 1 with a 12-1 win over Grenada, South Panola looked to sweep the Chargers on Friday, but could not complete the comeback at home as Grenada squeezed out a 6-5 victory in eight innings.

South Panola (10-9-1; 1-5) also found tough going Saturday as the Tigers fell 16-1 in five innings at Lafayette County.
