And then there were two.
After weeks of postseason action on the diamond, a pair of Pike County squads are still alive, and each have chances at winning a championship.
Parklane's baseball team pulled off the unthinkable last week, falling to Oak Forest 7-0 at home before turning around and pulling off a road sweep Friday to keep its season alive.
The Pioneers now move on to face Columbia Academy in the MAIS South 5A Championship series. Game One is set for 6 p.m. on Tuesday in Columbia, with Game Two taking place Wednesday in McComb at the same time. Game Three would return to Columbia on Thursday if necessary.
Meanwhile, North Pike's softball team is looking to pull off a rally of its own. The Lady Jags fell by a score of 1-0 in their first game against East Central, but they cruised to a 10-0 home win in Game Two to set up a decisive Game Three at 4 p.m. on Monday.
If they win, North Pike would then take on on Vancleave in the MHSAA 5A South-State Championship this week.
