Varsity Baseball Falls in a Wild One

WEB CAST.

In the two regular season meetings between Garner and Middle Creek last season, the two teams combined for 41 runs so it should come as no surprise that on Wednesday afternoon at Trojan Park, it would be another offensive showdown, but it would be the Mustangs who came out on top 14-6.

Garner struck first in the bottom of the first as Jesse Fisher led off the game reaching on a throwing error and advancing to second of the poor throw. Two pitches later, Fisher stole third and the throw from Middle Creek catcher, Jimmy Boyd went sailing into left field to give Garner a 1-0 lead.

Trojan starter, Matt Powell came back out for his second inning of work and after allowing a lead off hit in the first looked like he would get out of the jam but a defensive miscue came back to haunt him as Dylan Drayton had a sacrifice fly to center to tie the game at one.

But, Garner came right back in the bottom of th second as Hunter Brown began his day at the plate with a line drive double to left field. Brown later scored on a RBI fielder's choice by starting pitcher, Matt Powell.

Powell got the Mustangs to go in order in the third inning on a great play up the middle by Jared Newbry the Freshman took the ground ball, stepped on second and threw out Matt Laxton at first for the double play to end the Middle Creek third.

After Garner failed to score in the third, Middle Creek came back with a run in the fourth as Seth Watkins scored on a error to tie the game at two. However, the game would not stay tied for long as Garner came storming right back in the bottom of the frame.

With two outs in the inning, Hunter Brown came back to the dish and on the first pitch he saw from Mustang starter, Seth Watkins, Brown turned on the pitch and hooked it just inside the left field fair pole to give Garner a one run lead.

Things began to go south for the Trojans in the fifth as Middle Creek just used the old baseball sayin' and "hit 'em where they ain't" that equated to 11 Mustang batters coming to the plate and six runs crossing the plate and going to the bottom of the fifth, the Mustangs had taken a 8-3 lead.

To the Trojans credit they did not quit as they came back with another run in the fifth as Brett Bailey struck out to start the inning, but reached as the ball got away from the Mustang catcher. Bailey would score two batters later on a throwing error by Middle Creek reliever, Landon Baliant.

After the Mustangs plated three runs in the top of the sixth, Garner came back up looking to cut into the lead and did. Brett Walters singled to left to start the sixth, which brought up the catcher, CJ Schmidt, with a 3-2 count on CJ, he hammered a pitch to deep left field that cleared the wall for his second home run of the season and made the score 10-6 in favor of Middle Creek.

Unfortunately, the Trojans could not get any closer as they found offense in the seventh and came away with a 14-6 win over Garner.

The Trojans are back in action on Friday when they travel to Smithfield-Selma for a 7:00 first pitch. The JV game will begin at 4.

Trojan Rally Falls Short in Home Opener

WEB CAST.

It was the same story for the Varsity Baseball team on Monday afternoon as they opened the home portion of their schedule as they hosted the Broughton Capitals at Trojan Park. The Trojans fell behind early and made a valiant comeback before falling to Broughton 7-5.

Broughton jumped on the board first as after a walk and error allowed the inning to continue, Capital first basemen, Thomas Butler, homered just over the left field wall to make it 3-0 Caps. That would be the biggest mistake that Garner started Will Norris made on Monday in his varsity debut.

Norris would give up four more runs over the course of the next three innings, however, of the seven totals runs he allowed, only four of them were earned, due to the fact the Trojans made a season high five errors on Monday afternoon.

Despite the pour fielding performance, the Trojans refused to quit as in the bottom of the fifth, the Trojans found some life offensively. With one out, Jesse Fisher decided to take matters into his own hands after he was hit by a pitch, Fisher, stole second and third to put himself in scoring position and later scored on an Alec Hulmes double to right field. Colin Perry also reached base via a walk and later scored on a Hunter Brown RBI single and Hulmes would also cross home in the fifth on a Jackson Pleasant double to cut the lead to 7-3.

After holding Broughton scoreless in the top of the sixth, Garner again found some offense as with one out, Fisher again took matters into his own hands with a infield bunt single down the third base line to put himself on base.

Colin Perry was then hit in the back and Alec Hulmes singled to load the bases. Hunter Brown followed Hulmes and walked to bring home a run and Jackson Pleasant had a sacrifice fly to drive in the fifth Trojan run of the game.

However, Garner would get no closer as in the seventh, the Trojans went one, two, three and will hope for better luck on Tuesday when they host the West Johnston Wildcats in the Conference opener. The JV team will play at 4 followed by the Varsity at 7:00 at Trojan Park.

Winning Pitcher: Charley Goode - 2/3 Innings, 3 Hits, 3 Runs, 1 Walk, 1 Hit Batter, 1 strikeout
Losing Pitcher: Will Norris - 4 Innings, 5 Hits, 6 Runs, 4 Earned Runs, 3 Walks, 2 Strikeouts

Save: Cam Gombatz - 1 Inning, 0 Hits, 0 Runs, 0 Walks, 1 Strikeout

Tough Start for Varsity Baseball on Opening Day

WEB CAST.

With the dawning of the first Friday in March, the Garner Trojans were hoping that Opening Day would be their first step toward the first conference championship since 2005, however, the Trojans would find the road to victory to be tough on Friday as they fell to Broughton 5-0.

Garner had a great scoring chance right off the bat as Jesse Fisher led off the game with a walk and after a couple of quick outs, Hunter Brown also walked before a strikeout ended the frame.

Defensively, Garner looked sharp in the early going as East Carolina signee, Jacob Baker looked great in the opening frame with a one, two, three inning and two strikeouts.

Again in the second, Garner would threaten, but would not score. In the bottom half, Baker gave up a couple of base runners, but pitched out of the jam to keep the game scoreless.

In the bottom of third, the Caps would find their stride, as a lead off single and a couple of mental miscues hurt the Trojans as the three wild pitch/pass balls allowed three Broughton runs to score.

After Broughton scored another run in the fifth, Garner had another great scoring chance with two runners on and no one out, but again, Garner failed to score and just couldn't find that spark as they managed just three hits on the afternoon and left seven runners on base.

Garner (0-1) will try again Saturday as they travel to Fuquay-Varina for a 3:00 first pitch.

**The JV team swept the double header with Broughton at Trojan Park on Friday.**

Winning Pitcher: Will Watkins - 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K
Losing Pitcher: Jacob Baker - 3 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 2 HBP, 6 K
