Carter Thornton ripped a go-ahead double with two outs, Eli Folds closed the door, and West Point’s baseball team took down Lawrence County 3-2 in eight innings on Thursday to punch its ticket to the postseason.

Folds scattered four hits, two earned runs and 14 strikeouts in his tremendous outing.

Thornton and Will Cochran finished with two hits apiece, while Branson Smith (RBI) contributed one hit.

The Warriors (17-15) trailed 2-0 late but scored a run in the sixth inning and another in the seventh — thanks to a pair of Lawrence County errors — to tie the game and send it to extras.
