BUFORD — With an opportunity for some good, old-fashioned payback right at his fingertips, Jake Higginbotham delivered his best. The left-handed Clemson commit struck out 15 batters in Buford’s 7-0 victory over St. Pius X in Game 1 of their Class AAA second round series on Wednesday in Buford, while teammate Kevin Coulter didn’t allow a hit over four shutout innings of work in Game 2, allowing the Wolves to earn a 10-4 victory and a definitive sweep over the team that eliminated them in the first round of the postseason a year ago. The Golden Lions didn’t get a runner past first base Wednesday until the fourth inning of Game 2.
