McDONOUGH — Starter Dustin Tardy and reliever Jonah Riceman led second-place Spalding High atop the mound in a gutsy 6-5 win Friday night at co-last place Eagle’s Landing in Region 4-AAAA baseball.

Rebounding from its only loss — 5-4 at Dutchtown — 48 hours earlier, Spalding (6-1 overall, 4-1 region) came away with the W in this one as it won for the sixth time in seven games and Eagle’s Landing (1-6 overall, 0-4 region) lost its fifth in a row and for the sixth time in the last seven games.

Tardy threw five, Riceman two as the Jags remained a half game behind first-place Locust Grove (4-2 overall, 4-0 region) and a half game ahead of three teams — Griffin (6-1 overall, 3-1 region), Dutchtown (4-3 overall, 3-1 region) and Upson-Lee(4-4 overall, 3-1 region) — knotted in third.

Spalding continues its season with games this week at non-region Sandy Creek (0-6 overall) on Monday before coming home to the friendly confines of Jaguar Field to take on the sixth-place Woodland-Stockbridge Wolfpack (4-3 overall, 2-2 region) on Wednesday.

Thereafter, the Jags hit the road again to take on the seventh-place Stockbridge Tigers (4-3 overall, 2-3 region) on Friday.
