Shortly after the Wallace College Govs swept the Wallace-Selma Patriots 3-2 and 8-0 Thursday afternoon, the Govs got even more good news. Bishop State, the second place team, had lost one of their games. That means the Govs are Southern Division Champions for 2023 — or at least have clinched a share of the title.

Snell had enough of his good stuff to only give up two hits to the Patriots. That and a stellar Wallace defense led to 3-2 Gov victory in this crucial conference matchup.
But the Govs got the tying and winning runs in the bottom of the fifth. After Corey Berry walked to lead off the inning, Carlos Vasquez smacked an RBI triple to right field. Two batters later, Vasquez scored on sacrifice fly by Warrick Wilmot. Most of the scoring didn’t happen until late, but on this day Byers also had a good offense to support him.
