Charlestown was held to 189 yards of total offense and the Pirates turned the ball over twice, as they fell for just the second time this season, 20-14 on Friday night at Lawrenceburg.
Michael Baines ran for 112 yards on a touchdown, but the host Tigers got a pair of scoring runs by Mark Baker and also returned an interception for a touchdown in the victory.
Jordan Williams caught a 50-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, bringing Charlestown within 20-14, but the Pirates couldn’t get back into the end zone as they wrapped up the regular season 7-2 overall.
Lawrenceburg finished with 246 yards on the ground, enjoyed a 2:1 advantage in time of possession and had 15 first downs, while limiting Charlestown to just four total first downs in the contest.
