Central’s next challenge is a Jones County team that comes in averaging 8.2 runs a game, but it was a pair of one-run victories (2-1 and 3-2) that helped the Greyhounds upset No. 2-ranked Harris County in the first round. Jones County has five regulars hitting over .320: Walker Juhan (.375, 5HR, 34RBI, 11SB), Teldrick Ross (.351, 29R, 17RBI), Chandler Ramage (.347, 28R, 14SB), Jacob Walden (.346, 27RBI) and Keever Walker (.323, 20RBI). Walden (6-2, 1.11ERA), Ramage (4-2, 2.51ERA) and Keaton Gordon (5-0, 1.78ERA) give the Greyhounds a formidable pitching trio – just like Central.
