The Newton South boys beat out Newton North, 7-6, marking it the first time in eight years that Newton South has overtaken Newton North in baseball.

Newton South was trailing 4-0 until the fifth inning, scoring three runs in the fifth, two in the sixth, and two more in the seventh to earn the win. Sophomore John Jennings was a key element in South's win, with two hits and three RBIs.

Senior Chris Lewis hit in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh with a base hit over the center fielder's head.
