A seventh-inning rally that produced one run and concluded with the bases loaded fell just short here Friday night as the Bainbridge High School Bearcats bowed 6-4 to the Harris County High School Tigers.

Trailing 6-3 going to the bottom of the seventh, the final rally was ignited by Dee Friday with a hard ground single up the middle.

Friday went to second when Drew Day beat out an infield hit to short. The runners moved up to second and third on a wild pitch.

With one away, Diante Smith was hit by a pitch loading the bases. Right fielder Jeremy Coram then stepped to the plate and hit a long sacrifice fly to center as Friday tagged up and scored.

Catcher Bryan Digby walked to load the bases before the final out was recorded.

The Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second. Tyler Maxwell started the rally, drawing a two-out walk off right-hander Coram on a 3-2 pitch. He moved to second when Davis Wright followed with a ground single to left. Both runs scored when Ryan Hudson drilled a double to right.

The Bearcats tied it up 2-2 in the bottom of the fourth. Leadoff hitter Brandon Young’s hard grounder to second could not be handled and he reached first. He moved to second when Tyler Hutchins followed with a single to left.

Coram followed with a double, driving in Young and sending Hutchins around to third. Brian Digby followed with a walk, loading the bases. With Ryan Wade at the plate, Hutchins came in to score on a wild pitch.

Harris County reclaimed the lead in the top of the fifth, scoring three to go up 5-2. Neal Chambless reached on an error to open the inning and came around to score on an error. A wild pitch and catcher’s interference call produced the inning’s final two runs.

The Bearcats cut it to 5-3 with a run in the bottom of the fifth. Friday singled to left, moved to second on a walk to Day and came in on an RBI single to right by Coram.
