The Indians answered with one run in the third off the bat of Jackson Lancaster(Corinth) but trailed 3-1 until the sixth.
Hunter Nabors(Montevallo, Ala.) doubled to score Lancaster, who doubled to start the sixth frame, and a sacrifice fly by Justin Medlin(Ripley) tied the game a three as LaBryant Siddell(Belden) scored from third.
Drake Wallace(Amory) made sure the game didn't stay tied long as he belted a 2-run home run to give the Indians a 5-3 lead.
In the eighth, Jacob Hall(Petal) added an insurance run with a solo home run while Hunter Hughes(Saltillo) took care of business on the hill to give the Indians the 6-3 come from behind victory.
