Kent Brizendine hit a two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning off Liberty Christian Acad-emy starting pitcher Brock Wilson to lift E.C. Glass to a 6-5 non-district victory at LCA on Monday.

Jefferson Forest 1, Brookville 0
Andrew Dempsey headed David Rochow’s crossing pass from the corner inside the near post to break a scoreless tie early the second overtime period of a Seminole District match.
Brookville took only two shots for the game, both saved by Cavalier goalkeeper Blake Hubbard.
“They had a really good tactic,” Jefferson Forest coach Jedd Zaring said. “They bunkered in pretty effectively (defensively), usually keeping between six and seven guys behind the ball.
“It was a great win for us,” he added. “For being this early in the season, it really was playoff atmosphere (and) it reminded me of that Northside game last year (a Region III tournament loss).”
