Tatum shortstop Cooper Whiteus (center) steps into the batters box in Rusk, against West Rusk pitcher Cole Jackson, who's in his windup here. Jackson had a fairly good night on the mound, but Whiteus had three hits and scored twice, and teammate Carson Gonzalez only allowed the Raiders two hits in a 6-1 Tatum win. It was game one of a best-of-three series in the UIL Class 3A Regional Quarterfinals, the third round of the UIL baseball playoffs. Game two is Friday night in Bullard at Brook Hill School at 7 p.m., and if West Rusk wins that one, game three would be Saturday at noon, also at Brook Hill. (Photo by MITCH LUCAS - ETBLITZ.COM)
