All teams are off to a good start with the modified schedule forced upon us by bad weather and a cancelled tournament at Southern Mississippi. We're hoping this energy will carry over into this weekend's tournaments in Baton Rouge and Pensacola.
B.E.S.T. Montgomery Challenge
Scout Team
The Scout Team is off to an impressive start with with three wins in Montgomery. Pitching was off and several pitchers showed signs of being rusty after the layoff between our start and the end of the high school season, but the overall performance was good. Teamwise the hitting was good and so was the defense. Players who had good weekends were Mike Wells with two homeruns, Daryl Norris on the mound and at the plate and Garrett Pitts had a stellar performance at shortstop. David Roberts also pitched well and four Junior Team additions played well with the "big boys" - Colt Buttram, Zack Willoughby, Charlie Spencer and Jacob Croft proved the can hang in there with the big boys.
The team came out of the weekend 3-0 with one victory by run rule.
Senior Team
The Senior Team also got off to a nice start going 2-1 with a modified roster of Senior Team players and Junior Team players. Due to several having high school commitments the team was short handed so we combined the two teams and sent a few Junior Players to the Scout Team. For the most part the team played well, but several errors in game two cost them a victory. Once the complete team is together in Troy they should show what they can do as a team. Several players stood out including Robby Reece who played well. Junior Team middle infielders Peyton Fuller and Wes Kent had good weekends defensively.
