BLACKSHEAR — This much is certain: one way or another, North Hall will end its historic season in the friendly confines of Jody Davis Field. The Trojans jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in Game 3 of the Class AAA state quarterfinals, but needed another standout performance from Game 2 hero Adam Kelly to finish off an 11-6 victory over a pesky Pierce County squad on Wednesday in Blackshear. Kelly launched a three-run home run in the sixth inning — after the Bears narrowed the score to 7-6 in the bottom of the fifth — and picked up a save on the mound with 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief.
