The Robert Toombs
Christian Academy soft-
ball team played two games
last week, splitting the con
tests. RTCA picked up a
win over Brentwood Acad
emy on Monday of last
week, but dropped their
game against Bulloch
Academy on Thursday.
vs. Brentwood
RTCA got a big game
at the plate from Maddie
Joyner, who drove in four
runs. Meredith Durden
added a home run in the
game for RTCA. Durden
also got the win in the cir
cle for RTCA.
RTCA took the lead
with four runs in the bot
tom of the third inning,
and then added two more
in the fourth inning to lead
Brentwood, 6-0. Brent
wood picked up three runs
in the top of the fifth in
ning, but RTCA answered
with three more in the bot
tom of the frame to lead
9-3.
Brentwood made it a
game with five more runs
in the top of the sixth in
ning to close the lead to
9-8, and then they tied the
game at 9-9 in the top of
the seventh inning.
RTCA pulled together
in the bottom of that final
inning and plated a run to
win the game, 10-9.
vs. Bulloch
RTCA didn't fare as
well against Bulloch as
they only had two hits in
the game. Those came
from Joyner and from
Railee Thomas.
Bulloch scored first
with a run in the bottom of
the first inning. They
added three more in the
fourth inning, and then
one more in the fifth.
RTCA wasn't able to get on
the board, as they dropped
the game, 5-0, to Bulloch.
This week RTCA was
at Montgomery County on
Monday after presstime.
They will be back in action
on Thursday with Pine-
wood coming to town at
6:00 p.m.
