The Charles Henderson High School baseball team defeated Headland High School, 4-3, in area action on Friday in Headland.

The top-ranked Trojans fought back from a 2-0 deficit to move to 25-2 on the season.

Trailing 2-0 in the sixth, Chase Smartt doubled with one out. Joey Denison then ripped a single on the first pitch of the at bat to put the Trojans on the board and cut the Rams lead in half.

Down to their final three out with John Johnson standing on third base, Hunter Baggett walked before Tripp Blackmon, the Trojans starting pitcher, got himself off the hook with a game-tying double. If the moment wasn’t intense enough, Blackmon’s hit came on a 2-2 count. Smartt gave CHHS the lead with a two-RBI single.

Blackmon would retire the Rams in order in the seventh.
