Big Win!

The Varsity Baseball team recorded a victory over a very talented East Cobb Baseball Academy squad by a score of 11-3 this evening.  The Tigers were led by Christian Zaytoun's very efficient four innings on the hill, as Christian needed only a little more than 40 pitches to complete the four innings, allowing no hits while striking out six and walking one batter.  Zaytoun also finished 3 for 4 at the plate with 2 doubles and 4 runs driven in.  Jack Eades followed Zaytoun to the mound, pitching one inning and striking out one while allowing a hit.  Evans Riviere worked the sixth allowing three runs, one earned.  Third former, Cameron Hill, saved two more runs with a diving catch in centerfield with two outs in the inning.  Andrew Holmes pitched a three up/three down seventh inning, with a strike out to end the game.  Besides Zaytoun's efforts at the plate, the Tigers were led by MacLindsay Mitchell's and Hill's 3 for 4 nights; each with two stolen bases as well.  Hill doubled twice and scored two runs while driving in a run.  Mitchell scored three times and drove in a run.  Patrick McDonald was a very timely 2 for 3 with three scored and two driven in.  Eades also contributed a hit and a run scored.  Andrew Shobe went hitless on the night, but drove in two runs with a very unselfish approach at the plate.  All told the Tigers banged out 12 hits and stole six bases.  The Tigers moved to 1-0-1 on the young season and return to action noon Saturday with a doubleheader at Fayette County, GA.  The team was thrilled that Mr. Greg Jacobs took time from his spring break to travel to Atlanta and broadcast a few games.

The JV Tigers also took on East Cobb Baseball Academy after the completion of the Varsity game.  Playing the same team as the Varsity squad, the did not fare as well, as you might imagine, but did show glimpses of what promises to be a talented group.
