WINCHESTER — When Handley pitcher Nolan Potts entered the game in relief against James Wood Tuesday night, the Judges were staring at a three-run deficit in the third inning.

The junior right hander stopped the bleeding — and worked through a bloody nose in the fourth inning — limiting the Colonels to just one run over the final five innings.

The Judges did all the little things, from executing a pair of squeeze bunts to making diving catches in the outfield, and all that added up to a 6-5 Northwestern District victory over Wood at R. Charles Hott Field.
