Athens Academy @ Athens Christian
April 1, 2008

The Spartans were unable to produce sufficient fire power to overcome the Eagle’s six hit offensive attack.

Highlights:
• James Colquitt was one for two with a triple
• Mark Sanders hit a powerful double in the sixth, scoring Gaines Hill from first
• Tag Galvin came in to pitch in the fifth inning to relieve Patrick Jansen and struck out the side
• Evans Wellborn made two outstanding defensive plays in the sixth inning, throwing one player out at the plate and stepping on third base after playing the hot corner perfectly for the third out of the inning
• McKay Matthews, Hunter Stiles, and Thomas Sanders singled
• Thomas displayed confidence and maturity playing first base

Scoring:
• James led off the third inning with a triple and came home on an error by the Eagle’s third baseman
• Hunter Stiles singled in the sixth. Gaines Hill came in to run for him and scored on a double by Mark Sanders

The Eagles put an outstanding pitcher on the mound. A couple of close call went in favor of the Eagles, but that is baseball. Once again, the Spartans filled the stands with avid fans and consistently cheered on the team.

The Spartans will take on an excellent Social Circle team at home on Friday at 6:30. Hope to see you there!

Final Score: Athens Academy 2, Athens Christian 8
