At Historic Grayson Stadium in Savannah, the Athens Academy Spartans brought their 'A' game and defeated the Calvary Cavaliers.
The offense was led by: Will Miller 2/3, 2 runs, SB Will Corry 1/2, 2 RBIs, 2 runs, 2 SB Hayden Hudson 2 BB, run Drew Richardson 2 runs, stole home
The pitching was amazing. Coach Chuboff's excellent coaching skills were certainly displayed today. Pitching: Will Miller: 1 IP, 3 hits, 1 run, 1K Connor McCleary: 3 IP, 2 runs, 3 hits, 3 Ks. (Picked up the Win) Hayden Hudson: pitched the 5th, 6th, and 7th, faced 9 batters and retired all 9 with 2 Ks.
Defensively the players made every play that came to them committing no errors. Cosper Kittrell had 12 put outs at first base.
The parents were out in full force and their enthusiasm and positive attitudes certainly contributed to this exciting win. I clearly remember Gary Hudson supporting the baseball Spartans when his sons were too young to play and now beams with pride as Hayden and Jacob take the field.
Athens Academy travels to Riverside Wednesday for a 5:00 game.
