ASHEBORO The Asheboro High School varsity baseball team ran into a buzzsaw named Michael Horrell on Monday, falling 3-0 to Ledford in Mid-Piedmont Conference play at McCrary Park.

We had a couple of chances our best was in the bottom of the sixth when we got two guys on, but a double play groundout spoiled it, Blue Comets coach Tim Murray said. (Horrell) did an excellent job. That was one of the best performances Ive seen all year. He had a good fastball; his location was very good. He was the game.

Tristan Marsh got the start for AHS (4-2, 6-3) and went five innings, while Cameron Reid finished the game.

Tristan pitched well, Murray said. He kept us in the ballgame. We took him out because of his pitch count. Cameron did a great job, too. I cant fault our pitching.

At the plate, AHS had just four hits Aaron Garner had two and Reid and Parker Clayton each had one.

The Blue Comets travel to Central Davidson on Wednesday.
