Fischer Howell (27 MS) puts a charge into this for an opposite field 💣! Middle of the infield chops and the LHH plays. #UBCEast@WowFactorNation#MissSt commit

After four straight losses to end the regular season, Petal baseball head coach Connor Douglas challenged his team with a simple question.
A month later, they had their answer.

‘27 SS Fischer Howell (MS) lofted this the other way for a double. Real loose wrists & natural loft to the plane. #HailState commit. #UBCEast@WowFactorNation
Tripp Lee (‘29 MS) RBI double here as a part of a 4 hit day. Promising young player with real feel to hit and functional right l handed hack.

⚾️ Ole Miss commit Cooper Giger and Mississippi State Commit Fischer Howell powering Petal in high school
This will be an exciting matchup to watch compete against each other in two years:
READ | A couple of weeks ago, Petal looked dead in the water, having dropped their last four regular season games. Six games later, Petal is headed to the state championship series as Class 7A South State champions.

READ | It was a feeling the Petal community had not experienced in 15 years. A feeling of accomplishment, pride and emotion. Behind two towering home runs from Fischer Howell, the Panthers defeated Brandon 8-3 to win South State for first time since 2011.

READ | Conventional wisdom would suggest that what Petal did to Ocean Springs in the opening round of the playoffs was an upset. Petal advanced to the second round and will face the winner of the series between Oak Grove and Gulfport.

A couple of barrels from the former Future Gamer and Mississippi State commit but right at well positioned Oak Grove outfielders.

2027 3B Fischer Howell
Petal HS
The Mississippi State commit finds a pitch on the inner half and drives it down the right field line for a double.
One of the top switch hitters in the class!

‘27 SS/3B Fischer Howell (MS) gets to the FB & sends it gets it down inside the line for a backside 2B. Phys LH stick w/ bat spd, made nice play at 3B on DP too. #HailState commit #PGShowdown@Petal_Baseball@PG_DeepSouth
READ | A game that felt more like a playoff matchup than opening day, just one swing made the difference.
Easton Giger launched a two-run home run over the wall in right field to lift Petal over Sumrall in blockbuster opener.
