The Eagles baseball
team of Montgomery
County High School took
on Region opponent
Hawkinsville in a three-
game series last week and
won 2-3 games.
Game 1
The Eagles rolled in the
first game of the series on
Tuesday at home. They got
off to a slow start with just
one run in the bottom of the
first inning, but pitcher Bo
Davidson had a good outing
and didn't allow Hawkins
ville to score a run in the
game.
His offense got a bit go
ing in the second as Andrew
Weeks scored a run on a
throwing error to push that
lead to 2-0.
The Eagles continued
to pound out hits and got
some help from the Red
Devils over the next few in
nings as they ran the score to
15-0 to take the run rule
win.
Game 2
In the second game of
the series on Thursday in
Hawkinsville, it was a very
different game. The Devils
jumped ahead with three
runs in the bottom of the
first inning to take the early
lead. MCHS picked up a run
in the top of the second to
close in on the lead.
Neither team scored
again until the top of the
seventh inning when
MCHS added one run to
make it 3-2, but that was all
they could get as they lost
the game to the Devils.
Game 3
In the third game
MCHS got the bats going
again as they plated 19 runs
in the game. MCHS also
held Hawkinsville to just 4
runs to give the Eagles a
19-4 run rule win.
The two wins were the
first two of the season for
MCHS as they improved
their record to 2-7 and their
Region record to 2-4.
The week MCHS will
play a Region series against
Telfair County. The first
game was on Tuesday at
home after presstime. They
will then play a double
header in McRae on Friday
with the first pitch sched
