Chilton County High School won the annual county baseball tournament Saturday with a 12-2 victory over Jemison in the championship game.

The Tigers didn’t drop a single contest in the double-elimination event, while Jemison had to fight its way through the loser’s bracket after a setback to Thorsby early in the tournament.

The Panthers avenged that loss with a 6-5, 10-inning win over the Rebels in the first game Saturday. Jacob Hatch blooped a one-out single over first base that landed just fair and kicked off the playing field, allowing Jacob Hatch to score from second base.

JHS trailed CCHS 3-2 after 3 1/2 innings, but the Tigers scored six runs in the bottom of the fourth and an exhausted Jemison team that had already spent most of its pitching couldn’t catch up.

It was a dominating performance by Chilton, which won four games by a combined score of 42-3.

Trevor Thomas was the winning pitcher Saturday. He allowed two runs–neither one of which was earned–in four innings while striking out two.
