Sparta 10U 6
After being rained out on Friday, the Smith County Red 10U All Stars met up with the Sparta All Stars on July 4th.

Smith County pushed across one late run in the sixth to make it 9-6, then shut the door on Sparta to win the contest 9-6.
Smith County Red starting pitcher Abe Goolsby worked five plus innings of work in picking up the win for his team. Owen Gregory came on in the sixth to slam the door and pick up the save for Smith County.
