Varsity Baseball Drops Tough One at Home

WEB CAST.

Following their win over Southeast Raleigh on Tuesday, the Trojans were back at home against East Wake and looking to build some momentum heading into spring break next week. Garner sent Jacob Baker to the hill and for the first four innings, Baker pitched outstanding. But, it just wasn't meant to be as Garner fell to East Wake 3-1

The game was scoreless through three innings as both pitchers went toe for toe and neither backed down. In the top of the fourth, Baker got the first out, but an error and walk to consecutive batters put Garner in a tough spot. With two outs, East Wake's Wes Luck drilled a single back up the middle to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead.

When the fifth inning began, Baker was lifted in favor of Hunter Brown who came in and pitched well for the Trojans, but after hitting a East Wake batter to begin the inning, Nate Lusk came to plate and hammered a 3-1 pitch to deep left center field for a two run home run and East Wake had a 3-0 lead. That was the only mistake Brown made on the night, and when he left the game, Garner still trailed by just three.

The Trojans had their chances to score in the fifth and sixth, but just could not seem to get that timely hit.

Still trailing in the bottom of the seventh, the Trojan began to mount a rally as CJ Schmitt walked to begin the inning and after two near home runs from both Matt Powell and Brett Walters, the Trojans were down to their final out.

Colin Perry came in to pinch hit and delivered a single to left center field which plated Schmitt for the first Trojan run of the game. Jared Newbry was next to hit for the Trojans and worked the count to 3-2 before grounding out to end the game and give East Wake a 3-1 win.

Garner will take a couple of days off before returning to action next Thursday at home at 7:00 when they host Holly Springs.

Trojans Sweep Southeast in Varsity Baseball & Softball

BASEBALL WEB CAST.

SOFTBALL WEB CAST.

The day began with one mission for the Trojan Sports Network and that was to bring fans both the Varsity Baseball and Softball games and that mission is now complete and marked as a success as Garner swept Southeast Raleigh, winning in both games at the Garner Sports Complex.

First thing on the schedule Tuesday was Trojan Baseball as Garner went into the game really needing a win, and Garner was able to "get healthy" against Southeast thanks to some timely hitting and outstanding pitching.

Things began for Garner in the bottom of the first as Alec Hulmes walked then advanced to second and third on a pair of pass balls and later came in to score on a RBI single from Matt Powell also on the play, there was an error in center allowing CJ Schmitt to score and it was 2-0 Garner after one.

The Trojans scored again in the second, this time with two outs, Jesse Fisher singled and again, Hulmes walked as the back to back singles from Hunter Brown and CJ Schmitt, Garner scored again and it was 4-0.

It remained 4-0 until the fourth inning when on the very first pitch of the inning, Jesse Fisher took the Kevin Tangerlini pitch over the left field wall just inside the fair pole down the line for a line drive home run! Two batters later, CJ Schmitt sent a towering fly ball to left center field for his third home run of the year and it was 6-0 Garner.

The Trojan added two insurance runs in the fifth to take a 8-0 lead. But, while the offense was doing its part, starting pitcher, Jackson Pleasant was also holding up his end of the bargain and he dominated the Bulldog hitters holding Southeast to just five in in six innings of work.

But, the biggest stat of the night for Pleasant was that he did not give up a walk and struck out six. Following the outstanding effort by Pleasant, Matt Powell came in and continued the work striking out six to preserve the shut out as Garner went on to win 8-0.

The Trojans will be back at home on Thursday night when they host East Wake at 7:00, the JV game will begin at 4:00

---------------------------

Following the baseball game, it was time for a quick change of venues as Garner Softball was next on the docket as the Lady Trojans put their undefeated record on the line as they hosted Southeast Raleigh at Trojan Field and promptly disposed of the Bulldogs 12-2.

But, it wasn't all fun and games early as Southeast put up a pair of runs in the first as they strung together three base hits and stole two bases in the first inning to take a 2-0 lead. However, that lead did not last long as Garner came right back in their half of the first.

Mary-Scott Powell led off the bottom of the first with a double off the center field wall, she later stole third as Raven Smith walked. With runners at second and third and two outs, Freshman, Maddy Stewart came to the plate and laced a single to left center to plate Powell on the play Southeast threw the ball around the yard a bit allowing Smith to score as well and tie the game at two.

That would be the closest the game would be as Southeast did not score again, but Garner sure did. In the bottom of the second Garner loaded the bases with two outs as Ashley Carroll strolled to the plate, facing a one ball two strike count, Carroll fouled off a good two strike pitch before sending a shot to way back left field and clearing the fence for a GRAND SLAM HOME RUN!

Kasey Hamrick followed Carroll with a double off the wall in left center, she scored on the next pitch as Southeast committed another error and after two it was 7-2 Garner.

The Lady Trojans scored four more runs in the bottom of the fourth with the big hit of the inning coming again, from Ashely Carroll who laced another hard hit ball, this time to left field to pate two and really put the game out of reach at 11-2.

Garner put the game away in the bottom of the sixth when Kasey Hamrick came in to score and give the Lady Trojans a 12-2 win in six innings. With the win Garner is now 6-0 on the season and 5-0 in conference play.

They will be back in action on Thursday night when they host East Wake at 7:00, the JV game will begin at 5:00.

Sofball Down Former Foe

WEB CAST.

After a thrilling win over West Johnston last Tuesday night, the Lady Trojans returned home to take on the Knightdale Knights, but, in the first base dugout, was a very familiar foe for Garner fans. Garner alum, Adam Hamrick, was returning to his old stopping grounds as the first year head coach of the Knights who coming into the game had a 2-1 record.


Facing Hamrick and the Knights, was a Garner team who was looking to build on the confidence that they had after the win over West Johnston and Garner came out hitting on all cylinders with a 12-2 win.

Garner got things going in the third inning as with one out, Maddy Stewart got a base hit to right to get things. That was followed by a pair of singles from Christian Gower and Shea Barbour.

So that loaded the bases for the top of the line up and for the first time this season the top of the order put together some runs. Mary Scott Powell got a big base hit to left to plate two runs and two batters later, UNC-W signee, Kimmie Stewart, singled a home another run and it was 3-0 Garner after two.

Garner plated two more runs in the fourth on a two run single from Stewart. And after four, it was 5-0 in favor of the Lady Trojans. But, that lead didn't last long as Knightdale came back in the top of the sixth with a pair of runs to cut the lead to 5-2. However, the Knights made a couple of big base running blunders that ran them out of a big inning.

But, give Garner's Raven Smith some credit as on a base hit to right, Smith came up and fired a frozen rope to third that beat the Knightdale runner by four steps and was a huge out in the inning and game Garner some momentum that they carried over to the bottom half of the inning.

In the bottom of the sixth, Garner sent 10 batters to the plate and scored seven runs to put the game away as they run ruled Knightdale 12-2 for their second win of the season.

Garner (2-0, 2-0) will be back in action on Thursday night when they travel to Clayton for a 7:00 first pitch.

Winning Pitcher: Christina Gower - 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 4 K

Losing Pitcher: Kayla Boggs: 6 IP, 10 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Powell and JV Softball No - Hit Knights

Garner Freshman, Kristen Powell pitched her first no hitter of the year as the Lady Trojans downed Knightdale 12-2 at Trojan Field on Tuesday afternoon.

The Lady Trojans were coming off their first loss of the season, which came last Tuesday as they lost to West Johnston to open their season, but Garner did a good job of putting that game behind them and move on to Tuesday's contest.

Garner took a 2-1 lead early in the game and never looked back as they defeated Knightdale 12-2 to improve to 1-1 on the season.

The Lady Trojans will be back in action on Thursday when they travel to Clayton for a 5:00 first pitch.

Varsity Baseball Nipped by Knights

The Varsity Baseball team returned home to face Knightdale in a conference clash at Trojan Park and after falling behind 3-0 early, Garner rallied behind senior ace, Jacob Baker, who did a great job at keeping Garner in the game and giving them a chance to win.

Garner rallied to tie the game at three, on a big base hit from Brett Bailey however, Garner wouldn't get any closer as Knightdale got two runs in the seventh inning to win the game 5-3 from the Trojans.

Garner will be back at home on Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 when they host cross town rival Middle Creek.

JV Trojans Tie with Knightdale

The JV baseball team took a early lead at Trojan Park on Tuesday afternoon, but couldn't hold the lead as Knightdale came storming back to tie the game in the late innings.

With the score tied at four all, the two teams played the 8th and 9th innings with neither team pushing across a run so, since neither team could score, it was almost time for the Varsity game, meaning the JV game was called a tie at 4.

The JV Trojans will be back in action tomorrow when they travel to Middle Creek for a 4:30 first pitch.

Garner Uses Youth and Experience to Get Past West Johnston

WEB CAST.

It's built as the premiere softball rivalry in the area, as it always is when Garner and West Johnston get together on the softball field and again on Tuesday night, the game lived up to the hype as Garner slid past West Johnston 2-1 in the season opener for the Lady Trojans.

Garner gave the ball to true Freshman, Christina Gower who was making her debut in a Lady Trojan uniform against the contemptuous rival from Benson and in the opening frame, Gower was sharp getting West to go in order and also getting two strikeouts in the first.

West Johnston's Lexi Betancourt was equally as dominate as she took to the center circle for the Wildcats, however, Betancourt's delivery home became the focal point of the game as she was called for four illegal pitches because her back foot was not constantly in contact with the pitching rubber.

Despite the pitching controversy, West Johnston had a 1-0 lead after four compete innings as the Wildcats played some small ball to jump ahead in the fourth as Kristen Partin singled to lead off the fourth and after a sacrifice bunt moved her to second, Marisa Hackney singled to left to plate Partin and give West the 1-0 lead.

After a scoreless top of the fifth, Garner was running out of chances to score, but that's when the Lady Trojan experience blended with some youth to put runs on the board. Freshman Maddi Stewart started the fifth inning with a bloop single over the head of the Wildcat third basemen to put the lead off hitter on base.

Following a Gower strikeout, Mary Scott Powell tried to bung Stewart over to second and she appeared to stakeout, but caught a break when Betancourt was called for her fourth illegal pitch which allowed Powell to single two pitches later and put runners at corners with only one out for Raven Smith.

Smith fell behind in the count 0-2 and battled back to work the count even at 2-2 before lacing a single to right center field and plate two runs to give Garner the 2-1 lead.

The score would remain the same going to the top of the seventh when West Johnston had their last call. Marisa Hackney led off the inning by drawing a walk and later advanced to second and third on wild pitches.

With Hackney standing on third base, Betancourt struck out swinging on three pitches. So, with one out, and a runner at third base, Ashley Carroll made THE play of the night.

On a 3-2 count, Amber West fouled off pitch after pitch and on the 11th pitch of the at bat, West, sent a shot down to third base where Carroll picked up the ground ball and saw Hackeny too far off the base and tagged her out for a huge second out of the inning.

The last West hope was Danielle Meyers who fouled out to Meghan Strickland at first to end the game.

Garner (1-0, 1-0) will be back in action on Thursday night when they host Millbrook at 6:00.

Winning Pitcher: Christina Gower - 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 9 K

Losing Pitcher: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 6 BB, 10 K

Varsity Baseball Picks up First Win

After losing their first three games on the season, the Varsity baseball was in desperate need of a win as they hosted West Johnston in the conference opener on Tuesday night at Trojan Park.

Garner gave the ball to their senior ace, Jacob Baker who responded to strikeout 13 Wildcats batters and give up just one un-earned run as Garner powered past West 4-1.

The Wildcats got their run in the top of the first off as a throwing error extended the inning to allow a run to score.

But, the Trojans did not go away as they put up three runs in the bottom of the fifth to take the 3-1 lead and just for good measure, in the sixth, CJ Schmidt hit his first home run of the year, a solo shot to right center to give Garner a 4-1 win.

The Trojans (1-3, 1-0) will be back in action on Friday night as they travel to Clayton for a 7:00 first pitch.

For eight generations, the Heisman name has signified excellence, determination, and prestige among college football’s elite. In 1994, the next level of outstanding achievers ensconced their names into the Heisman lore when the Wendy’s High School Heisman (WHSH) was created.
The WHSH program has set the standard for high school student-athletes, and gained tremendous prestige in its own right. Each fall, the program recognizes the nation’s most esteemed high school senior men and women for excellence in academics, athletics, and community/school involvement.
