The South Winn baseball team (20-11) wrapped up the regular season and won its first playoff game all within a day last week, falling to Charles City Friday night and besting Clarksville Saturday night.
The Warriors were set to host a big rematch game with Kee High on Wednesday, July 5, in the district semifinal.
Playoff recap
The Warriors opened up district play on Saturday evening against Clarksville (1-17) and advanced with the 15-0 run-rule victory.
After Warrior senior Keagen Streeter rang up the first three Indian batters, South Winn got its first three batters on base and went on to score four times to go up 4-0. The Warriors doubled their advantage in the second and added another run in the third. The hosts put the game to bed in the fourth with six runs.
Keagen Streeter and Jamie Kuennen combined for the four-inning no-hit shutout win on mound. The Warriors pounded out 14 hits as a team, including multiple hit performances from Jamie Kuennen, Parker Timp and Carson Streeter.
“Our guys did a great job coming out of the gates with right mindset. Hosting playoff games is a great opportunity and our guys really enjoy playing in front of our great crowds,” said Coach Alex Smith.

At home Friday
South Winn finished up their regular season at home on Friday night dropping a well-played game to Charles City (16-16) by a score of 4-1.
Charles City scored the first runs of the game in the top of the third, plating two runs, while South Winn responded with a run of their own in the bottom of the inning. That would prove to be the only run of the game for the Warriors. They threatened again in the fifth inning but lined into a double play to close down the rally. Carson Streeter tossed a solid complete game, scattering five hits, allowing the four runs, three being earned. Carson Wenthold put up two hits and Keagen Streeter three hits in the loss.
“This was a well-played high school baseball game overall. While we came out on the losing end, I felt good about some momentum we gained at the plate and we did some good things on the defensive side as well. Carson threw one of his best games of the year which should give him some great confidence as he continues to mature on the pitching staff,” said Coach Smith.
