Forsyth Central couldn’t solve Sequoyah’s pitchers when it mattered most. With Central down by two with the bases loaded, Devon Compton popped out to the shortstop for the final out of the game to give the Chiefs a 7-5 victory in the Region 7-AAAAA opener on Monday at Bulldog Field. Central loaded the bases three times and left 11 runners on base, including eight in scoring position.
