Hilton Head Island started its 2021 Dixie Youth Baseball Ozone state tournament campaign in dominant fashion Saturday, crushing Conway 11-0 in Moncks Corner.
Phoenix Shapiro and Alan Wolf were terrific on the mound, combining for a four-inning, two-hit shutout. The Lowcountry squad showed its offensive prowess quickly, scoring nine runs in the second inning and adding two more in the third before Wolf closed out the run-rule victory in the top of the fourth.
