WARRENSBURG - Warrensburg-Latham has some of the best hitters in the area, but its biggest win of the year came from a rally started by the bottom of the order. In an 8-7 walk-off win over Taylorville, the bottom of the order got on base to turn it over to Evan Gottman and Nathan Southern at the top of the order. Gottman got on base before Southern's walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh. That moved the Cardinals to 15-1 with a win over one of the better 3A teams to start the season.
