RINGGOLD, Ga. — Baseball coaches — no matter how hard they might try not to — can’t avoid looking down the road.
For Ringgold’s Drew Walker, that has meant keeping his streaking team focused on the now and not peeking ahead a couple of weeks.
So far, so good for Walker and his players, who took care of business Tuesday night at Bill Womack Field with a 9-0 win over Adairsville. Ringgold improved to 17-5 overall and 7-0 in GHSA Region 6-AAA, extending its lead in the standings over Adairsville (11-8, 5-2) to two games.
The second and final game of the regular-season series between the two teams is set for Thursday.
Tuesday’s victory, which showcased another dominant outing from senior Ross Norman and more good work from a burgeoning offense, also keeps Ringgold a game up on new region rival Gordon Lee. The two play the regular season’s final two games against one another in two weeks.
