The Southwood and Northfield baseball teams made the hour and a half trip to North White Wednesday to play each other in their sectional opener. The Knights defeated the Norse 2-1.
Southwood got on the board in the second when Micah Smith reached on an error, stole second, and while stealing third there was another error allowing Smith to open the scoring. Southwood plated another run in the 4th when Ryan Deeter scored on a Coan Holloway RBI groundout. Northfield made it interesting in the 7th, but a heads up play by Jaret Denney ended the Norse season.
Jaret Denney had a great night at the plate with two hits and robbed of a third one. Jaron Craft went the distance on the mound to collect the win.
