LANIER EDGES CLINCH JV
LANIER HIT THE BALL EXTREMELY WELL IN 3 INNINGS SCORING 3 OR MORE RUNS TO COME FROM BEHIND TO WIN THEIR GAME. SAM HILL WAS THE 4TH AND WINNING PITCHER GOING THE LAST 2 INNINGS. LANIER HAVING TO USE HALF THIER VARSITY PLAYERS TO GO WITH 6 B-TEAMERS TO FIELD A TEAM CONTINUED TO BE SHAKY IN PITCHING AND DEFENSE. SOPHOMORE DEREK WHITE HAD 4 HITS INCLUDING THE GAME WINNER. SOPHOMORE JOEL NELMS IN HIS FIRST EVER START AT ANY LEVEL WENT 2 FOR 4 AND SCORED TWICE. SOPHOMORE WILL BRANCH HAD 2 DOUBLES. SOPHOMORE B.J LUCKEY ADDED A SINGLE, DOUBLE AND TRIPLE. SAM HILL BROKE OUT OF A HITLESS STREAK FOR THE SEASON BY GOING 5 FOR 5.
WE GOT WHAT WE WANTED OUT OF THIS GAME GETTING SOME PLAYING TIME FOR SOME OF OUR VARSITY GUYS AND GIVING OUR YOUNG KIDS A CHANCE TO PLAY. THE NEXT GAME WITH CLINCH IN APRIL, OUR KEY 8TH GRADERS WILL MOVE UP TO FINISH THE JV BEGGINNING IN APRIL AFTER SPRING BREAK. COACH RYKARD DID A FINE JOB FOR CLINCH, WE BASCIALLY PLAYED AS A GOOD SCRIMMAGE LETTING EVERYONE GETTING PLAYING TIME. IT WAS GOOD FOR BOTH OF OUR TEAMS.
