Athens Academy @ Greene County
February 29, 2008

The Spartans could not manage a sustained offensive attack and suffered their first loss of the season to Green County.

Pitching:
• Henry Terrell started and pitched 3 1/3 innings, giving up four runs on five hits.
• McKay Matthews pitched the final 2 2/3 innings, striking out four while walking only one. Coach Chuboff was thrilled to see McKay throw the curve ball with two strikes on two batters, and catch both of them looking for a called strike three.

Offensively:

Third inning:
• With two outs, James Colquitt reached first base on an error
• McKay singled up the middle
• Matt Woodruff walked
• Patrick Jansen singled, sending James and McKay home

Fourth inning:
• Hunter Stiles was hit by a pitch
• Tag Galvin reached first on a fielder’s choice
• Everett Young came in to run for Tag
• Thomas Sanders singled
• James walked, loading the bases
• McKay walked with bases loaded, sending Everett home

Fifth inning:
• Evans Wellborn walked
• Russ DeVore came in as a courtesy runner for Evans
• Hunter singled
• Tag singled Russ home

Both Hunter and Thomas were 2 for 3 at the plate.

The Spartans will play at home against Tallulah Falls in their first region game on Monday, March 3rd.

Final Score: Athens Academy 4, Greene County 5
