The War Eagles moved their record to 3-1 tonight with a win against conference foe Northside in the McDonald's/Best Sports Tournament. Zac Stewart started on the mound and gave up a lead-off home run to Dax Dupire. (He was the NS quarterback last season.) Northside scored a single run again in the top of the 3rd to take a 2-0 lead. We scored a run in the bottom of the third. Spanky started with a single then Payton reached on an error by their 1st baseman. Cody was running for Spanky and he made it to third on the error. Reed had a sac fly to right to score Cody making the score 2-1.
NS scored another run in the top of the 4th but we tied it in the bottom of the inning. Trav walked, Zac reached on an error, scoring Trav and Spanky singled Zac home. We took the lead in the bottom of the 5th. Matt was hit by a pitch that bounced about 5 feet in front of the plate. Grant bunted Matt to second and was really safe at first, although they called him out. We watched the film after the game and he was definately safe. NS committed another error on Huntor's batted ball to third, scoring Matt.
We really took off in the 6th inning - batting around. Travis had a single, Zac reached on yet another NS error and then Spanky hit the first ever War Eagle homerun. Payton eagerly followed Spanky with a homerun of his own. It was exciting! They couldn't wait to call Huntor's Grandma after the game to order their pies. I think both ordered apple. Grandma will bring them with a big smile on her face!
We scored another run in the 6th when Reed, Matt and Grant all got singles. Reed started pitching in the 5th and held NS to one run in the 7th.
I have to brag a little bit - Spanky went 4 for 4 and had 4 RBIs. They should have gotten him out his second time to the plate. He popped it up high on the right side and the 1st and 2nd basemen couldn't decide who was going to take it.
