JV SPLIT AT WEST LIMESTONE

The JV team traveled to West Limestone for two games Saturday.  The first was against Huntsville Catholic.  Hunter Brazeal was the starting pitcher allowing 1 hit, 1 walk, and 1 run.

The Red Devils were down 1 - 0 heading to the bottom of the 5th.  Michael Lee Johnson batted in the tying run to send the game into extra innings. Catholic had 5 hits, 2 walks, and scored 4 runs off pitcher Adam McMahan to take the lead in the top of the 6th. With one out, the Red Devils brought in Michael Lee Johnson to pitch.   He finished the 6th, allowing no runs, walks, or hits.  Elkmont came to bat but couldn't seem to get it together as Catholic would take the win with the final score, 5 - 1.

Nolan Ryan: 2 walks

Adam McMahan:  single, double

Michael Lee: single

Although the loss was tough, the Red Devils had to re-group and get ready for their next game against the West Limestone Wildcats.

This time Camron Taylor would take the mound for the Red Devils.  He pitched the entire game allowing 6 hits, 3 walks, 4 runs, and is credited with a WIN!

The Red Devils won with the final score being 5 - 4; bringing the JV record to 4 - 3.

Nolan Ryan: walk

Adam McMahan: single, walk

Michael Lee:  2 singles

Hunter Brazeal: single

Camron Taylor: single, walk

Jordan Brooks: single

Hunter Taylor: single

Eli Vining: walk

Jarod Smallwood: single

Although the JV team is still struggling with batting and errors on defense in some positions, they seem to be improving overall.  If they continue with practice and learn to work as a team, I feel the

JV team will stay on track and end up with a winning record this year.

The JV team is scheduled to play ABS this Tuesday, March 13 @ Elkmont following the Varsity game.

MARCH 10 JV BASEBALL - DIAMOND DEVIL SPEAKS

Saturday is looking to be a GREAT day for baseball!  Elkmont will travel to West Limestone for two games.  The first is scheduled for 1:00 against Huntsville Catholic and the second is scheduled for 3:00 against the Wildcats.  Hope to see all the JV parents and fans there to cheer them on. 

After spending the day at the “diamond”, don’t be too weary to set your clocks forward one hour before climbing in to bed.  That way you’ll be right on time for Tuesday’s game at Elkmont as the Red Devils host the ABS Trojans.
