Two games weren't enough Tuesday night to decide whether Walton or Etowah is advancing to the quarterfinals of the GHSA Class 7A baseball playoffs.
Game 1 was dominated by the long ball. Jared Jones and Kyle Chatham homered for Walton and Jordan Fricks hit two for Etowah as the Raiders pulled out a come-from-behind 5-3 win.
Etowah sophomore starter Caleb Hughes controlled Game 2, giving up just a solo homer to Barrett Eldridge in the Eagles' 6-1 win.
The winner of Game 3 on Wednesday will advance to play North Gwinnett, which swept Campbell.
