TWO BIG WINS FOR MIDDLE DEVILS - BASEBALL TAZ

The Middle Devils played host to Decatur Heritage and Tanner today and came away with two nice wins. In the first game, we beat the Eagles from Decatur Heritage, 10 - 3.  Jordan Nelson was back on the mound and rang up 9 Ks in going the
distance for the Red Devils. We got on the board in the first inning with Aron Moss walking, stealing a couple of bases then scoring on a passed ball. Nelson drove in Taylor Thomas and then scored himself on a passed ball to put us up 3 - 0.

Decatur managed to score two in the second but the home team had a big inning with Josh Johnson scoring on an RBI by Moss. Taylor had a big triple that brought home Brady Garris,  Jackson Cook and Moss.  Thomas scored on a passed ball, Nelson scored on an RBI by Johnson and Ethan Wilson came home on a throw down to second  base to make it, 10 - 2 after two innings. The Eagles managed to score another run in the
third and that ended the scoring and we went on to win 10 - 3. Nelson ended the game with a sweet 1- 6 - 3 double play.  Defense played ok behind Nelson's pitching and Garris did a good job behind the plate.

In the second game, we hung in there and got a tough win against the Rattlers from Tanner. We got out to a quick lead with Aron Moss being driven in by Eli Hobbs. Bryce Tyler advanced Ethan Wilson and Josh Johnson came on as a runner for Tyler. Jonathan Craig then drove in Wilson and Johnson. Craig was scored by Connor Norman. Peyton McCown scored on a walk by Moss. Norman and Tyler Watts were brought home by Jordan Nelson, then Moss by Hobbs to make it, 8 - 2 after one inning. 


The score remained 8 - 2 until Tanner made it 8 - 4 after the third inning. Craig scored on a passed ball to make it 9 - 4 in the bottom of the fourth.  Moss scored on a drive by Hobbs and then Hobbs scored on a big triple by Wilson to give us eleven runs. Hobbs worked on the mound the first three innings with 2Ks. Johnson then went 1 and 2/3 innings with 3Ks before Taylor Thomas came on to close out the game with a K. Tanner fought back hard in the fifth inning but we came away with an 11-10 Win. Offensive output was in bursts today but was productive during those bursts. Defense played good but is still capable of playing a
much cleaner game. All in all, today was good, I think we got a little better, brought home two big wins along the way, and then the rains came. Life is good. Taz out!! 

DECATUR HERITAGE TOO MUCH FOR MIDDLE DEVILS

Well,  we went to Decatur Heritage today and we didn't come away with a win. Decatur Heritage put it on us,  17-4 after 4 1/2 innings.  Ethan Wilson started on the mound and the good news is we were 0-0 after 1 inning.  Bad news is it was a seven inning game. We did get two runs in the second inning with Austin Berry driving in Brady Garris and Peyton McCown bringing in Jackson Cook but the Eagles scored 5 runs to make it, 2 - 5.  We put two more on the board in the third with Garris being hit by a pitch to bring in Aron Moss and Berry driving in Wilson. Wilson finished up his night on the mound with 3 Ks in 2 1/3 ( two innings and one out in the third)and was relieved by Moss who went 2/3 (two outs) to finish up the third inning and we were down 4 - 8.  Moss was relieved in the fourth by Tyler Thomas who picked up 2 Ks and we were down 4 - 17.  We could not close the gap in the top of the 5th and the game ended, 4 - 17.
