Tyler Scholl Inks with Mississippi College

CLINTON – Sophomore right-hander Tyler Scholl, Northwest's all-time saves leader, has signed a grant-in-aid to play for head coach Brian Owens and Mississippi College next season.

Scholl was superb in his final season in Senatobia en route to second team all-state honors, posting a 1-0 record with six saves and a team-best 0.39 ERA in 18 innings of work. He allowed just one earned run and eight hits all year while opponents hit .133 against him.

A native of Olive Branch, Scholl appeared in 33 career games (T-1st all-time) and was 1-0 with a 1.43 ERA and 11 saves in 29.1 innings. He scattered 18 strikeouts and allowed just six earned runs and five extra-base hits.

Prior to Northwest, Scholl was an honors graduate at Lewisburg High School for head coach Rusty Cagle, helping the Patriots to a 26-12 record and state runner-up finish his senior year. He had a state-best nine saves with a 1.48 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 28 innings.

Scholl will join former Ranger catcher J.D. Tackett who'll be a senior for the Choctaws this season.
