Alfred Johnson spurs Wagener-Salley to an 11-9 comeback over Williston-Elko after a 4-0 deficit. Johnson hit an opening three-run inside-the-park homer and later drove in three more on a ground ball as Wagener-Salley capitalized on late miscues and a tired Williston-Elko pitcher.

North Augusta Drops 17-5 Showdown At Riverside Park
North Augusta, led by coach Mike Snyder, lost to Airport 17-5 in Region 3-AAAA action.

The Jackets drop to 4-12, with all four wins coming against non-league foes, and they return home Friday to host Lexington at 7 p.m.
