It’s still early in the boys 11-12 senior league season, but Kirby Real Estate and General Equipment may have already played the best game of the season. Kirby Real Estate ended General Equipment’s unbeaten season with an 11-10 win in extra innings Thursday night at Dottie West Field.It took nine innings and nearly three hours to decide a winner, but Dillon Young’s ground ball allowing Jalen Haston to score proved to be the difference in the bottom of the ninth. Kirby Real Estate, which improved to 2-2, had the answers all night every time General Equipment looked poised to continue its winning ways.When T.R. Dyer and Lane Jones provided run-scoring hits to put General Equipment up 7-4 in the top of the sixth, Carter Mansfield and Dalton Bates evened it up by driving in runs for Kirby Real Estate to send the game into extra innings.General Equipment took another three-run lead in the eighth inning when Jones hit a two-run double to score Dyer and Crockett Walker and Dakota Gibbs followed with an RBI double of his own.
