Cathedral Catholic School's Green Wave overwhelmed the Natchez High School Bulldogs with a 10-0 win in five innings last Friday night at Chester Willis Field. Walker Probst delivered two doubles and three runs batted in, while Owen Jordan pitched five strong innings, allowing four hits and striking out five. This result, part of a home-and-home series on shared grounds, highlights the Green Wave's early-season dominance as they improve to 6-1.
Early Offensive Surge Sets Dominant Tone
The Green Wave jumped ahead 3-0 in the first inning against Bulldogs starter Mason Bouldin. Tripp Wimberly singled down the right field line to score one, Bodi Brumfield flew out to plate another, and Probst doubled down the left field line for the third. Cathedral extended the lead to 4-0 in the third on Jordan's sacrifice fly, then erupted for six runs in the fourth: Wimberly doubled in one, Brumfield walked to force in another, Probst added a two-run double, and Jordan's groundout brought two more across.
Key Contributors Drive Seven-Hit Attack
Probst paced the offense at 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a run scored. Wimberly went 2-for-2 with two RBIs and two runs, Houston Edwards finished 2-for-3, and Andy Keith was 1-for-3. Jordan not only contributed offensively but sealed the win on the mound, walking one and hitting three batters while keeping Natchez scoreless. For the Bulldogs, Chris Sewell doubled in his 1-for-3 effort, with Martavis Woods, Ahmarrion Fletcher, and Braylon McDaniel each recording one hit.
Broader Context in Local Youth Competition
Sharing Chester Willis Field underscores the close-knit nature of these matchups, with Cathedral acting as the 'home' team in this second game. The Green Wave run-ruled Natchez for the second time this week, dropping the Bulldogs to 6-4 after their third straight loss; Natchez played at Port Gibson High last Saturday. Cathedral next hosts Bogue Chitto High on Thursday, March 5, with junior varsity at 5 p.m. and varsity at 7 p.m., though head coach Andrew Beesley seeks earlier starts at 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Such performances reflect disciplined preparation and execution typical in high school programs building toward district play.
