The American Eagles won the Hooch Classic this weekend.  

In the first game, the Eagles had to play the East Side Raiders.  After playing from behind all day, the Eagles tied the game at 2 in the 5th inning only.  The game was tied going into the bottom of the 7th.  With Dalton Ewing on 3rd, 1 out and 2 strikes, Sean Ryan Brophy dropped down a very timely bunt allowing Dalton to score from 3rd for the win.  

In game #2, the Eagles faced Blessed Trinity.  Eric Pollman threw a complete game while the Eagles posted the victory.

In the first bracket game, the Eagles opened against Centennial.  The Eagles posted a 4 inning victory.

In the semi-final game, the Eagles again squared off against the East Side Raiders.  The Raiders again jumped out to a 1 run lead and it remained that way until they went up by 2 runs in the top of the 7th inning.  In the bottom of the 7th, the Eagles utilized an error in left field with 2 outs to keep the inning going and eventually score the winning run to defeat the Raiders 3 - 2.

In the Championship game, the American and the Nationals played an outstanding game.  This bodes well for the future of the Milton High School Program.  In a game much closer than the score, the Americans defeated the Nationals 11-5.

2009 NWBA Elite Division Champs

The Eagles played outstanding baseball throughout the weekend to win the NWBA tournament this weekend.

The opening game was between both Milton HS Feeder Teams, the Americans and Nationals.  Solid pitching by Matt Phillips kept the Nationals at bay most of the game.  A HR by Nick Bradshaw was the highlight of the hitting for the evening.  The Americans defeated the pesky Nationals 9 - 4.

In the 2nd game, the Eagles squared off against the Alpharetta Raiders.  A solid outing by Michael Messier produced a 4 inning, no-hit, shutout.  The Eagles won 8 - 0.

 In the Championship game, the Eagles faced the always tough West Cobb Rays.  Corey Helms opened the game on the mound, throwing 4 strong innings, followed by Michael Messier, who closed out the victory.  The Eagles scored 7 in the bottom of the 5th to seal the win 11 - 4.
