Posted Monday, October 3, 2011, at 8:54 PM

Lots of low-scoring games at Roger Pattillo Field on Monday with the new BBCOR bats being used. In the first game of the day, Naylor senior Dalton Woodard struck out 19 batters in a complete-game win for the Eagles. Greenville broke up a no-hitter in the fifth against Doniphan and scored all four runs that inning. Clearwater used senior pitcher Joel Koenig for 10 innings and went to Austyn Hovis in the 11th while Cody Boyers pitched seven innings and the first batter of the eighth before Cody Birdsong pitched the eighth through 11th innings. There were just 11 total hits through 11 innings.

Monday's Scores
Naylor 2, East Carter 0
Greenville 4, Doniphan 2
Neelyville 0, Clearwater 0 -- game suspended in 11th inning due to darkness

Wednesday's Games
Neelyville vs. Clearwater -- 10:30 a.m. (starting with Clearwater batting in top of the 12th)
Twin Rivers vs. Naylor -- noon
Greenville vs. Neelyville/Clearwater -- 2 p.m.
