McCann pitched a six-hitter and went 2-3 but the South Point Pointers fell 3-1 to the Fairview Eagles on Thursday.
McCann struck out seven and did not walk a batter.
“Brycen McCann pitched very well tonight. He contributed two hits as well,” said Pointers’ coach Larry Goodwin.
“We had plenty of chances to score runs and we were not able to convert. Fairview made some nice plays in the field when it counted.”

The Pointers (2-2) tied the game in the third when McCann got a two-out single and Brody Blackwell had an RBI double.
