Athens Academy @ Jefferson

Athens Academy @ Jefferson
March 18, 2008

The Spartans may be young but they play with heart and produced a solid, spirited effort against a strong Jefferson team.

Offensively:
• The Spartans scored two runs on 6 hits
o Matt Woodruff:1 for 4
o Henry Terrell: 1 for 3, 1 RBI
o Mark Sanders: 2 for 3, 1 RBI
o Tag Galvin: 1 for 3
o James Colquitt: 1 for 3

Scoring:
• Fourth inning:
o Patrick Jansen walked, stole second and came home on a Henry Terrell single
• Seventh inning:
o Tag led off the inning with a strong single to center and scored on Mark Sanders’ double (both hits were off Jefferson’s ace, who came in relief in the seventh inning)

Defensively:
• Matt threw a perfect strike to home plate in the sixth inning nailing a Jefferson player trying to score on a single to left center.

Pitching:
• Patrick pitched the first five innings, giving up five hits and striking out eight, while only walking two
• McKay Matthews pitched the last inning allowing three hits and not walking a batter

It was a close, hard fought game. The Spartans come to play and were a joy to watch.

Final score: Jefferson 6, Athens Academy 2
