Vincent’s Grayson Guide tossed a one-hitter and the Yellow Jackets scored six runs in the first three innings on the way to beating Lindsay Lane 11-1 on Wednesday and earning a spot in the Class 2A championship series.

After seventh-ranked Lindsay Lane (29-11) scored its run in the opening inning on a sacrifice fly from Alexander Cook, ninth-ranked Vincent (30-5) tied the game 1-all on an error.
