“My mom played softball when she was in school and she urged me to give baseball a try,” Woods said. “It’s my senior year, so I decided to give baseball a chance. I’m really looking forward to graduating and going to college.”
The Cavaliers moved to 3-2 and gave the Mustangs their first loss of the season with an 11-8 win.
