Friendship wins on the road
BAXTER — Friendship Christian came from behind to beat former rival Upperman 8-3 Friday night.
The Bees led 3-1 through three innings before Friendship scored three times in the fifth and seventh to hand Stephen Pryor the win.
Jessie Coe went 3-for-3, including a double, with three runs scored and two runs batted in. G.L. Waynick went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored as Friendship finished with nine hits.
Pryor pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs [all unearned] on four hits and five walks with five strikeouts. Brian Cravens pitched the final 1 1/3 frames, walking one, for the save as the Commanders climbed to 12-10.

Friendship is next scheduled to play at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Hendersonville's Drakes Creek Park against Merrol Hyde.

Lebanon rained out at Greer Stadium
Rain forced postponement of Friday's high-school baseball game between Lebanon and Franklin County at Nashville's Greer Stadium.
Proceeds from the game are to benefit the family of Southside student Nathan Nokes, who is battling a brain tumor. Vouchers from pre-game sales may be used at any Nashville Sounds game.
Lebanon assistant Rusty Harrod said fellow assistant Charlie Lowery, who has been spearheading the Nokes fundraiser, would talk with the Sounds on Monday about rescheduling the game. Harrod said it is possible the game could be moved to Veterans Field.
The Blue Devils are scheduled to host Gallatin today for a noon junior-varsity and a 2 p.m. varsity game at Veterans Field.
