Follow through: Thorsby first baseman Jason Price eyes a ball he just launched into the Maplesville outfield. The ball was caught—but was deep enough to allow a runner on third base to tag up and score.
Thorsby’s baseball team defeated Maplesville, 12-10, on Wednesday in a game of wild momentum swings.
Visiting Maplesville took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, but Thorsby stormed back for five runs in the second and extended the lead to 9-2 in the third.
