Thorsby clinched second place in its area on Saturday.

The No. 7 Rebels swept a doubleheader from area foe B.B. Comer, 9-7 and 10-4.

THS will visit Sipsey Valley for a best-of-three series beginning at 4:30 p.m. Friday. Other games will follow at 7 p.m. Friday and noon on Saturday, if needed.

In Game 1 of the twinbill against Comer, THS pitcher Brantly Maddox held Comer to two hits and no runs until the seventh inning, when the visitors pounded out five hits and five runs.

Thorsby held on for the win, though, with Blake Bradberry recording the final out on the mound.

Parker Bryan went 3-for-3 at the plate with a run scored, one run batted in and a stolen base.

Tyler Owens went 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Chris Brown went 1-for-2 with a double, three RBI and a sacrifice.

Maddox helped himself by scoring two runs.

Game 2 of the doubleheader saw less drama, though the Rebels had to come from behind for the win.

Comer held a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the third inning, but THS posted three runs in the inning, including two on a Chris Brown home run.

Bo Hoffman allowed no runs in the final four innings, and four more runs in the sixth provided a cushion.

Braden McRae started the game on the mound for the Rebels, allowing four runs in three innings pitched.

The wins pushed Thorsby’s record to 28-4. The Rebels travel to Sipsey Valley for the first round of the state playoffs beginning Friday.
