FLOWERY BRANCH — One walk-off win at a time, the Flowery Branch baseball team is making a statement to the rest of Region 8-AAAAA. C.J. Navin hit an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to score Andrew Nolt and give the Falcons a 7-6 win over fellow playoff contender Winder-Barrow on Wednesday at the Hog Mountain Sports Complex. Navin’s game-winning rip off Bulldoggs reliever Blake Oviedo gives Flowery Branch (13-8, 8-4) two walk-off victories in its last three games, but does even more wonders for its playoff chances. The Falcons now have full control of fourth place in the region, and sit only one game behind Winder-Barrow in the standings.
