Play Ball!!!

The Varsity Baseball squad opened its season with a hard-fought 4-4 tie vs Woodward Academy in 8 innings.  With both Woodberry and Woodward scheduled to play multiple times later this week, it was agreed that the game would last a maximum of 8 innings; which it did.  With coaches from Campbell University and Berry College in attendance, MacLindsay Mitchell opened his 2015 campaign by striking out 4 batters in three innings of work.  Andrew Harris threw an inning in relief, failing to give up an earned run.  Patrick McDonald threw three 3-hit innings and CoCo Clay made his varsity debut on the hill with an inning of scoreless relief in the bottom of the 8th; three up/three down.  Offensively, the Tigers had but five hits on the day, the big blow a three-run inside-the-park home run off the bat of Mitchell in the 3rd inning.  It was a legit inside the park homerun, no errors, as Mac tore around the bases after hitting a screamer over the centerfielder's head.  The Tigers return to the field on Wednesday at 6PM with a Varsity/JV doubleheader against East Cobb Baseball. Tomorrow the Tigers will practice in the morning, eat lunch at Papasito's Mexican Cantina and watch Kennesaw State host Georgia Tech tomorrow night.  Greg Jacobs will broadcast the games on Wednesday.
