Game 1 v. Durham Academy

Great Game - We won 9-0.

What a difference 3 days make. After getting 3 inches of snow on the ground Monday and therefore, postponing Tuesday's original season opening game to a later date, waking up this Friday with expected temperatures of around 70 at game time was enough to get any baseball fan's blood pumping.

The weather did not disappoint, and neither did the team.

Pitching and defense wins championships and we got both today. Bill and Thomas combined for a 4 hit shutout which was called after 6 innings due to darkness. And with the exception of one tough hop for Caleb at shortstop we played error free ball.

In the first inning the Durham pitcher shut us down, but in the second inning we batted around, scoring 3 runs. We tacked on two in the 4th, one in the fifth, and 3 in the 6th.

As a team we hit .444 for the game and had on on-base percentage of .541.

Multi-hit games for Zach, Whit, Thomas, TJ.

We're still learning how to run bases and left a few runs on the basepaths, but overall a very satisfying beginning for out season. Next up - Our Home Opener v. Wilson Christian at Flemming on Tuesday 3/10 at 7PM.
