Rested Golden Wave Ready To Begin Baseball Playoffs

By David Wheeler Daily Journal TUPELO – Though it only comes once a year, the Tupelo Golden Wave baseball team is familiar with the drill. Win your Class 6A division in the regular season. Earn a first-round bye, which basically means eight-plus days away from meaningful baseball. Then be ready for an already tested playoff team, which for 2017 means Warren Central. The Golden Wave are among several Northeast Mississippi teams moving their weekend post-season series up because of potential weather, with Tupelo hosting Warren Central in Game 1 of their matchup today at 7 p.m. “Rest is a good thing, but baseball is also a game of repetition,” said Tupelo coach Justin Reed, whose team scrimmaged Tuesday in an attempt to maintain a sense of of regular-season routine.
