OXFORD - Houston Academy coach Tony Kirkland didn’t feel his team played its best Wednesday night in a 2-1 opening-game loss to Gordo at Choccolocco Park in the best-of-three Class
The veteran Raider coach hopes that is a good sign for Game 2 of the series, set for Thursday morning at 10 a.m. at Jacksonville State’s Rudy Abbott Field. The Raiders have to win the second game to force the series to a third game immediately after.

The next batter, J.T. Pitchford, hit a shot to deep center field that was caught by Gordo’s Kyson Pate. Shelley tagged up and went to third.
Houston Academy finished with six hits with Wyatt Shelley earning two. The Raiders, though, left eight runners on base. “Adam wasn’t at his best,” Kirkland said. “He couldn’t find his curveball to get into a good groove.” The Green Wave tied it in the bottom of the third. Brady Jones opened the inning with a walk and was sacrificed to second on a bunt by Will Whitley. Jones moved to third on a ground out for the second out and Baylee Price singled to left to score Jones.
