The Middle Devils hosted the Trojans from Athens Bible School on Good Friday afternoon and came away with two earned wins. 


Eli Hobbs went four strong innings in the first game picking up three Ks (strikeouts) and Peyton McCown finished up the fifth inning.

Josh Johnson and Aron Moss each scored a run  on passed balls. Ethan Wilson and Taylor Thomas were brought home by Hobbs to make it 4 - 0. 


Second Inning: 
Moss, Wilson and Thomas scored on a 3 RBI hit by Jordan Nelson who then crossed home plate himself on a hit by Travis Riggs.  Jackson Cook was brought home by Moss and Hobbs scored on a hit by Wilson to make it 10 - 0.


Third Inning:
We picked up one in the third when Norman who was the courtesy runner for Bryce Tyler scored on a walk by Johnson to make it 11- 0.


Fourth Inning: 
The Red Devils picked up two more in the fourth as Wilson was advanced by Tyler and then driven home by Nelson who was in turn brought home by Hobbs to make it 13 - 0.  Final score was a 13 - 6 win for the Devils.


Second game was a bit more of a struggle but the Middle Devils hung in there and got the second win of the day 7 - 6. Wilson opened on the mound and went 1 and 1/3 innings with
2Ks before giving way to Thomas who went the rest of the way and had 6Ks. 


First Inning:
We opened the scoring in the first when Hobbs had a triple and then scored on a passed ball. Nelson was driven in by Wilson. Moss who was the courtesy runner for Wilson was advanced by Brady Garris and brought home by McCown.  Johnson who was the courtesy runner for Garris scored on a hit by Jonathan Craig to make it 4 - 0 


Second Inning:
The Trojans fought back and scored 5 in the 2nd, but Connor Norman scored on a hit by Nelson to make it 5 - 5. 


Score stayed 5 - 5  thru three innings in a defensive battle.
Athens Bible School picked up one in the fourth to go up 6 - 5 and we did not answer. Score was still 6 - 5  in the bottom of fifth and we needed two runs to win.  Elkmont answered the call and Johnson scored on a hit by Moss to tie it up 6 - 6 and later in the inning, Tyler Watts scored on a hit by Norman to put us up 7 - 6. 


I think that makes the Devils 13 and 9 headed into the last week of the season........Taz Out!!!!
