After a rocky start to the third week of the season, PCHS baseball rebounded to win a double header at Midland Trail on Friday and improve their record to 3-7.

After a 20-1 shellacking at Petersburg on Monday, the scrappy Warriors keptﾠ fighting. In the home opener against Philip Barbour on Tuesday, the Warriors kept it close until the fifth, when the Cougars pulled away. In Game 8, the Warriors dropped a nail-biter to Tygarts Valley, but finished the week with twin bill victories at Midland Trail.

Week 4 began with a disappointing 12-2 loss at Philip Barbour on Monday, dropping the Warriors record to 3-8.ﾠ As of Tuesday, the Warriors reside in 10th place in the 14-team Potomac Valley Conference.

The Warriors host Bath County on Tuesday and Pendleton County on Wednesday with first pitch on both days at 5 p.m. The Warriors travel to Richwood on Friday to play a 7 p.m. game against Fayetteville.
