The first six innings had gone by swiftly enough for West Forsyth starting pitcher Jay Thompson, a ho-hum operation with just a hiccup in the middle, so the junior lefty made the last crucial inning of a tight county and region rivalry game feel just as mundane: seven pitches, three groundball outs and a 2-1 victory in just over an hour against South Forsyth on Wednesday to finish off a season sweep. Thompson’s seven dominant innings and Mason McWhorter’s first inning two-run homer helped the Wolverines (13-9, 11-3) remain within striking distance of first-place Lambert in Region 6-AAAAAA and tied in second place with Northview as crucial series loom against playoff contenders Johns Creek and North Forsyth. “We knew this was going to be big,” West Forsyth head coach Mike Pruitt said.
