Prep Roundup 2/25: Choctaw rallies past Crestview

Staff reports

Tanner Black whipped a walk-off double down the right field line in the bottom of the seventh inning Tuesday to plate Ryan Kelly and help the Choctawhatchee baseball team polish off Crestview 2-1 in dramatic fashion.

The hit shook loose a decided pitchers duel as Black and Justin Coppock were the only Indians to drive in runs.

Crestview will host that same Tate team Friday at 6:30 p.m.
