MOULTRIE — The Colquitt County High baseball team committed four errors leading to five unearned runs making it easy for Valdosta to take an 8-1 victory on Tuesday at Bazemore Field.

“We just didn’t make the plays,” said Packers Coach Eric McCranie, whose team falls to 5-4 overall and 1-1 in Region 1-AAAAA.

“But we’ll get it back. We just didn’t come out with the same intensity we did against Houston County.”

The Packers took their Region 1-AAAAA opener on Friday with a 7-3 victory over the Bears.

Houston County fell to 0-2 in the region when it was defeated 5-1 by Warner Robins on Tuesday.

In Tuesday’s other region game, Coffee defeated Lowndes 15-8.

The Packers trailed 3-1 when the Wildcats broke the game open with four runs, all unearned, in the bottom of the fifth.

Valdosta scored its final run in the bottom of the sixth off reliever Cole Pitts.

Senior left-hander Andrew McDowell started for the Packers and went 4 2/3 innings, giving up seven runs, only two of which were earned. He gave up four hits and walked six. He struck out two.

Kyle Rowe went the distance for Valdosta, now 9-1 overall and 2-0 in the region. Rowe struck out 11 Packers.

Catcher Bo Williams led Colquitt County with two hits. Pitts, Blake Cato, John Michael Harrison and Hayden Kudela had the others.

The Packers travel to play Warner Robins on Friday.
