Ten miles separate the two towns, and nine runs separated the baseball rivals on the scoreboard after seven innings.
Chiefland turned in its best game of the season en route to a convincing 10-1 victory against previously unbeaten Trenton in front of a capacity crowd on a chilly Friday night in Chiefland.
“It’s a big game for both teams every year,” said Chiefland coach Kyle Parnell. “All the kids know each other. You’ve got relatives on both sides of the field, so anytime you can get a win over Trenton, it’s a good thing.

"They have a saying: At home, you're a rascal. You get 50 miles away from home and they heard of you, and you get 1,000 miles from home and you're a hero."
