The Commandos were able to score three runs off Vanderbilt signee AJ Franklin and HHS got a tremendous pitching performance from Grant Williams to beat the Wildcats of Wilson Central 3-1.

Senior Connor Fischer led off the game in the bottom of the first with a single and advanced to third on back to back passed balls.  Fischer scored on an RBI grounder off the bat of Ben Smith to give HHS a 1-0 lead.  

Williams was sharp from the start for the Commandos striking out the first hitter of the game.  The junior would not allow a hit until the 5th inning.

The Commandos built a 2-0 lead in the fourth when Williams singled to lead off the inning.  Courtsey runner Jon Swindle would eventually come around to score after a sac bunt from Austin Brown and a single from Jarcques Wordlaw. 

In the 5th the Wildcats would get their first hit as Franklin helped his own cause with a lead off triple.  After a strike out and a ground out a passed ball scored the Wildcat courtesey runner to make the score 2-1.

HHS would bounce back to get a two-run lead back in the bottom of the 5th.  Fischer again walked to lead off and stole second.  A walk to Ben Smith was followed with a wild pitch to put runners at first and third.  An errant pick off attempt at third allowed Fischer to score to make the score 3-1.  

Williams would retire the side in order in the 6th before giving way to Matthew Osborne.  Osborne induced a game-ending double play in the 7th to pick up his first save of the year.
