SPRINGFIELD -- The steady hand of comeback experience helped the Effingham County Rebels overcome a shaky start Thursday in the opening round of the Class AAAAAA playoffs. The Rebels, who mounted several game-winning rallies during their 21-9 regular season dumped Coffee 5-4 in eight innings of the opener and then won 5-3 to sweep the best-of-three series. It took extra work to win the opener as JR Lonon, who drew a two-out walk, scored on an outfield error on a ball hit by Jordan Rahn.
