The Chesnee Eagles scored 5 runs in the first 3 innings on their way to a 6-4 win over the Southside Christian Sabres in the opening game of the District Tournament. Chesnee will face Central Pageland on Thursday, the winner will advance to the District Championship on Monday. Southside Christian will travel to Gray Collegiate in a elimination game.
After Southside Christian scored a run on a Jeremy Costin RBI single in the top of the 1st, Chesnee responded with a run in the bottom half of the 1st as Nolan Hammett hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Dawson Williamson. Kobe Miller, Luke Cash, and Blake Scruggs hit back-to-back-to-back doubles to give the Eagles a 3-1 lead in the 2nd and the Eagles never looked back. The Eagles tacked on two more runs in the 3rd as Colin Turner hit a RBI single to drive in Nolan Hammett, and Joey Foos(courtesy runner for Turner) scored after a Southside Christian throwing error. In the 5th, Colin Turner drew a walk and was eventually driven in on a Luke Cash sacrifice. Cash finshed 2-2 with two doubles and two RBIs and Miller went 2-4 with a RBI. The speedy combo of Cash and Miller not only caused havoc at the plate, but also on the base paths with their speed. Chesnee Head Coach Scott Wease was pleased to see the seniors come through for the Eagles, "those guys with the speed they have if they can get on base and make somethings happen we can score some runs. It was good to see Kobe back swinging the bat well and have some success." Colin Turner had a solid start on the mound for the Eagles as he allowed 4 runs over 5 innings of work, and Bo Walker pitched two scoreless inning to earn the save. Coach Wease was pleased with the performance of his pitchers, "Southside Christian has hit the ball pretty good all year. Colin and Bo, two seniors we have had pitch a lot of games for us, it felt good throwing this guys and they did a good job." Comments are closed.
