FLORENCE, S.C. — The Andrew Jackson baseball team made history Saturday in game three of the Class 2A state championship series.
The Volunteers won the school’s first state championship in baseball and the first state title in a male sport since 1980 with a dominating 9-0 win over Gray Collegiate Academy.
Both teams held serve at home in the first two games of the state championship series. Andrew Jackson won game one on its home field and GCA did likewise in game two, setting up Saturday’s winner-take-all game three.
North Carolina signee Kyle Percival got the start for Andrew Jackson and he was nothing short of stellar. Percival went six innings and allowed three hits with nine strikeouts.
