Top Prospect Drives in Three But Jay Buchanan's Clutch Single Wins It

Grady Emerson, the nation's top prospect, drove in three runs for Fort Worth Christian, but it was not enough to prevent an upset loss at home. The Cardinals star opened the scoring with an RBI single and later tied the game at 3-3 with a two-run hit in the third inning.

Grace Prep answered with resilience on the road. With two outs in the top of the fifth, Jay Buchanan delivered a clutch single to left field, scoring Colt Howard for what proved to be the game-winning run. The final score: Grace Prep 4, Fort Worth Christian 3.
