If Thursday’s Vicksburg-Warren Central baseball game was a movie script, it would’ve been rejected for being too unbelievable.

Too many twists and turns. Too many incredible plays. Too much drama for just one seven-inning game.

But the Gators, right on cue, wrote in some walk-off magic as Michael Rohrer’s two-out RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning lifted them to a 6-5 win at a packed Bazinsky Field.

“I wasn’t really nervous, but I had that mentality to grab it,” Rohrer said. “That’s what you live for, why you play the game. To have those moments, to prosper.”

He did just that, drilling the first offering from WC pitcher Devon Bell into shallow center to spark a celebration that was equal parts joy and relief.

The end result, after Clinton defeated Greenville-Weston earlier Thursday evening, was the Gators (11-8, 5-4) earned the second seed out of Division 3-6A. Warren Central (15-10, 5-3) — which could have won the division title had it beaten Vicksburg and Clinton lost to Greenville — dropped all the way to third.

More importantly to the Gators, the victory gave them the season series.

“That was just an outstanding baseball game,” Vicksburg coach Ryan Grey said. “You can’t say enough about these guys. Warren Central got the big hits in the top of the seventh to take a two-run lead, but our guys had a never-say-die attitude.”

The magic began in the top of the final frame, with Vicksburg clinging to a tenuous 3-2 lead. Vicksburg pitcher Clyde Kendrick walked the first man he faced and Cody Waddell ripped a double to right to put two in scoring position.

Brandon Gates plated the tying run with a flyout to deep center. Hunter Austin ripped a frozen rope to left to drive in courtesy runner C.J. Ross and give the Vikings their first lead of the game, 4-3. Mason Jarabica drove in Will Stegall for the final WC run of the inning with a two-out single, but he was caught trying for second for the final out.

“It was one heck of a ballgame,” WC coach Josh Abraham said. “It’s amazing that two teams can be in Vicksburg, splitting athletes and have a ballgame like that. I can’t say enough about our kids and I can’t say enough about their kids. Sometimes you come up on the losing end.”

With the bottom of the lineup up to bat, the Gators got some much needed punch. A.J. Stamps ripped a perfect liner down the first-base line for a double. Darius Kendrick then hit a hot shot that WC second baseman Travis Barnett hauled in, almost in self-preservation, for the first out.

But then came controversy. Lamar Anthony took Bell deep, or so it appeared, drilling the high fastball off the top of the fence for a game-tying two-run homer. The third-base umpire ruled it a ground-rule double since the ball bounced back into the field of play and Anthony and Stamps were held at second and third, respectively.

“It was hard to tell, but honestly, it hit the yellow line (on top of the fence) and I don’t know what the yellow line means,” Grey said. “I watch Major League games and I still don’t know what the yellow line means. They call it home run on some deals, ground rules on others. I wish it would’ve gone just an inch farther.”

Next, John Plummer was called out on interference when the plate umpire ruled he interfered with the throw as Stamps tried to score on a passed ball.

But Clyde Kendrick dropped in a perfect shot to left to plate both runners and tie the game at 5. The Vikings intentionally walked Cameron Cooksey to set up Rohrer’s heroics.

The two pitchers both added Oscar-worthy performances. Clyde Kendrick threw an arm-wringing 131 pitches, but used a timely curveball and located his fastball low to keep WC off-balance all night. He finished with 11 strikeouts and allowed seven hits, most of which came in the last few innings. He only walked two batters and hit one as he exercised near pinpoint control.

“I felt it coming, but I felt I could’ve gone another inning or two,” Clyde Kendrick said assuredly. “I felt like I could just keep throwing. You’ll never remember this day like it is today. We couldn’t go out any harder. We put all of the chips on the table.”

On the other side, Bell took the loss in a 120-pitch outing, allowing nine hits while striking out two.

Vicksburg led from the outset, taking advantage of some early WC miscues to take a 2-0 lead going into the fourth.

In the bottom of the second, the Gators got a walk from Josh Sterling and a single from Gabe Bufkin. Stamps hit a weak tapper back to Bell, who tried to outrun the speedy Stamps to the bag. The ball popped loose when Bell slid into the bag and courtesy runner Nic Clay came in to score.

Anthony led off the third with a triple and Plummer’s weak tapper was booted to allow Anthony to slide home.

The Vikings got the runs back in the top of the fifth with two outs on the board, as Brandon Gates had an RBI double and Austin added an RBI single. Will Stegall reached on an error to put two runners in scoring position, but Clyde Kendrick struck out Jarabica to end the threat with the game tied at 2.

Vicksburg took back the lead in the bottom of the fifth, as Cooksey reached on a sharply-hit single to center, advanced into scoring position on a wild pitch and slid home on another wild pitch.
