The Warrenton baseball team celebrated Senior Night in style on Tuesday.
Hosting Bowling Green, Warrenton (13-13) earned the 5-3 victory.
With the game tied at three in the sixth inning, the Warriors took the lead on a fielder’s choice by Jake Kirkpatrick and an RBI single by Tate Augler after Bowling Green had tied the game.
Warrenton took an initial lead on a first-inning RBI double by Kirkpatrick, who scored Ric Standley. Kirkpatrick then scored on an error to move the home team out to a 2-0 lead.
Warrenton added a fourth-inning run to increase the lead to three runs before Bowling Green managed to tie the score.
The offense was led on Thursday by Standley, who went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs scored and a stolen base, and Kirkpatrick, who went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a pair of RBI.
Standley closed out the game in the seventh inning to earn the win. He earned the win in relief of Keeton Young.
