Thursday night brought another full slate of White County Youth Baseball and Softball League action at the White County Recreational Complex, with one division officially wrapping up its regular season while several teams continued building momentum heading toward postseason play.

In Competitive T-Ball, Tennessee Site Prep and Passons Underground battled to a 15-15 tie in one of the night’s most evenly matched games. Tennessee Site Prep now sits at 4-3-2 on the season, while Passons Underground moved to 3-4-2.

The Coach Pitch division officially completed its regular season Thursday night with National Guard defeating Piney Creek Lumber 14-6.

Minor Boys and Minor Girls teams did not play Thursday night and will return to action Friday evening.

In Major Boys play, Sonic continued its climb with a 10-7 victory over Ben Lomand. Sonic improved to 4-1 overall and stretched its winning streak to four straight games, holding onto first place in the division standings. Ben Lomand dropped to 2-5.

Spar Gas also remained near the top of the standings Thursday night with an 8-6 win over Roberson Fencing. Spar Gas improved to 3-1 and has now won two consecutive games. Roberson Fencing fell to 2-5 and has dropped five straight contests.

Despite losing their fifth game in a row, there was a bright spot for Roberson Fencing on Thursday night as they watched Caden Roberson launch a home run over the outfield fence. Roberson is the second player on the team to hit one over this season - Jayden Lee joined the league's "bomb squad" back on May 5 when he hit the league's first out-of-the-park home run of the season. Lee followed that up with a second home run the following night.
