Perry Central rallies past Lanesville on Senior Night, 6-3

Perry Central turned Senior Night into a 6-3 win over Lanesville at the Baseball Field in Leopold, responding after an early stumble and keeping the Eagles from opening the game up. The matchup was tied to Perry Central Community Schools’ Senior Night on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. CDT, putting the seniors in the spotlight before first pitch.

The game gave Perry Central High School, in Leopold, a home-field result that matched the tone of the evening. Senior Night is one of the last chances for older players to be recognized in front of family, classmates and the Perry County crowd, and this one came with a win that reflected more than just a final score.

Lanesville had the better of the early innings, but Perry Central settled in and prevented the contest from turning into a bigger scoring night for the Eagles. That defensive response proved to be the difference, as the Commodores regrouped instead of letting the first stretch define the night. By the end, Lanesville was held to three runs, and Perry Central had enough control to finish with a three-run margin.

The result fit the kind of late-season momentum Perry Central wanted at home, where the baseball program has long played in view of the Leopold community. Perry Central Community Schools lists its central office at 18677 Old State Road 37 in Leopold, and the school’s baseball calendar has made the Baseball Field a familiar gathering place for senior celebrations and key county games.

With the seniors honored and Lanesville contained, Perry Central left Senior Night with a win built on composure, defense and a timely response after the opening frame. That kind of performance gives the Commodores a stronger footing heading into the next meaningful stretch of the season.
