Undefeated Panthers baseball team to face Myrtle Beach

The undefeated Lake City High School varsity baseball team will travel to Myrtle Beach on Thursday and play host to the Seahakws on Friday at 6 p.m.

The team took two wins over South Florence and Socastee last week to remain perfect on the season at 8-0 overall and 2-0 in Region VII-3A.

Senior Reggie Weatherford struck out 10 Socastee hitters, including the last two hitters of the game with the tying runs on base, and scattered seven hits in a 7-5 win over the Braves. He also stayed red hot at the plate with a three-for-four night, including two home runs and three runs batted in. Zack Holt also blasted a two-run homer to dead centerfield.

Earlier in the week, sophomore Shon Carson threw a complete game shutout with eight strikeouts and hit a two-run bomb to lead Lake City to a 3-0 victory on the road at South Florence.

Weatherford and Elliott Braxton each doubled and Shonquez Nelson added an RBI for the Panthers.
