On a day when the Falcons were not getting many good pitches to swing at, Hudson Tate got one, and he did not miss it.<\/p>\n
With the bases loaded in the fourth inning, Tate sent the first pitch he saw over the left centerfield fence for a grand slam homerun, punctuating a 12-1 Jefferson win over Edgewood in Division IV sectional baseball action at Edgewood High School Saturday.<\/p>\n
