Saturday was a day for baseball. I started my afternoon with a trip up to Buford to photograph the Wolves as they took on the Locust Grove Wildcats in the GHSA Class AAAA state championships. With a two hour delay due to weather, the games got underway. There were twists and turn for both teams as the innings wore on. In short Buford won the first game 3-2 but the Wildcats returned in the second game winning 4-2 and causing a split decision third game to actually happen this afternoon. Stay tuned on Wednesday as I will be at the game capturing the action!
