#TBT - In March 2019, these three HHS pitchers combined to strike out 26 Mountain Grove batters to establish a new state record. Starter Braedin Groff struck out 12 batters in five innings and Sterling Jackson whiffed 13 batters in 6 2/3 innings to tie the state record of 25. Connor Wilson got the final – and record-setting K – with a strikeout in the top of the 12th. Read about the record-setting performance here: https://bit.ly/3Jlbj1q
