A week off might have been the tonic, as Polk County’s varsity baseball team scored five in the first inning, added six in the third, and plated a final run in the top of the seventh, to defeat Avery County, 12-7, on Tuesday, April 19.

The Western Highlands Conference win put the Wolverines at 5-11 overall, and 2-5 in the WHC.

At 4:30 this afternoon, the Wolverines visit Hendersonville at Green Meadows, near Jackson Park. It’s varsity only, as was Thursday evening’s game against the Asheville Trailblazers at Blue Ridge Community College.

On Monday, April 25, the Wolverines host Rosman in non-conference action. Next WHC game is at Owen on Friday, April 29.
