The Pearl River Central Blue Devils swept the Region 6-5A divisional series over Brookhaven with an 11-0 victory over the Panthers Thursday night at Moyer Field.

“I am very disappointed with my guys effort,” said Brookhaven coach Randy Spring. “I know we are tired from playing three straight days, but we need to find a way to summon the energy we need to compete. Every game is very important at this point to get us ready for the playoffs.”

The Panthers have qualified for the state playoffs as they prepare to host their last home game of the regular season against Brandon Tuesday night.
