COVID-19 may have robbed them of their final season of high school baseball, but the Mathews High School seniors got one last time on the diamond Tuesday night. They formed a combined team with Middlesex seniors, taking on a team from King William, Lancaster and West Point high schools at the Deltaville Ballpark. The KW/Lancaster/WP team won, 6-4, but in the end the final score wasn’t really that important. The highlight of the night was near the end; only five innings had been played, but the teams had hit the cutoff time of 10 p.m. Initially, the umpires called the game as complete, but it felt like a rock concert with the crowd, players and coaches cheering for one more inning.
