With one big comeback, the Vicksburg Gators got a leg up in the Division 4-6A playoff race.

Lamar Anthony’s two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning brought in the winning runs as the Gators rallied from three runs down to beat Clinton 4-3 Tuesday night at Bazinsky Field.

The victory moved Vicksburg (9-7, 2-1) into second place in the division, two games ahead of Clinton (6-9, 0-3) and 21⁄2 behind Warren Central. Vicksburg and Clinton will play again on Thursday night in Clinton.

The Gators had to scrap to win the first meeting against the Arrows. They trailed 3-0 and had just one hit going into the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday before making their comeback. Anthony led off the sixth with a double, then scored on a two-out single up the middle by Cody Waddell.

Jacob Thomas went all seven innings for the Gators to get the win. He scattered six hits.
