One of the best baseball seasons in Tallulah Academy history ended Friday with a 4-3 loss to Claiborne Academy in the semifinal round of the MAIS Class A playoffs.

Claiborne Academy swept the best-of-three series and advanced to next week’s championship series against either Desoto School or Tunica Academy.

Tallulah (11-10) led 3-2 entering the bottom of the seventh inning in Game 2. Claiborne, however, loaded the bases with one out and scored the tying run on a bases-loaded walk. Rafe Robinett then hit a hard grounder that turned into an error, allowing Ay Heard to score the winning run.

Heard doubled and scored two runs for Claiborne, and Kip Reeder went 2-for-3 with two runs scored.

Joshua Collins was 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI for Tallulah and Hager Fortenberry went 2-for-3 with a run scored.
