April 5, 2013 Front Page, Sports Comments Off

The Board of the Madison County Babe Ruth Baseball/Softball League would like to invite one and all to its 2013 Opening Day Celebration Saturday, April 6th at the Madison County Recreation Park. Players and coaches will begin arriving at 8:15am and OPENING CEREMONIES will begin at 9:00am where twenty baseball and eight softball teams will be introduced with an all-important cake auction/fund raiser to follow. There will be a total of fifteen games played with the first starting at approximately 10:00am and the last starting at 1:00pm. Concessions will be available so come watch a game, have a burger and soda, and support our counties youth.

The cake auction/fund raiser will begin after opening ceremonies and before any games are played. I ask you, Who doesn’t like cake? Who doesn’t like supporting a good cause? Who doesn’t like helping a child? Nobody – so bring some cash… bring your checkbook and bid on one of the delicious homemade cakes provided by our team moms, and remember all proceeds are used to support league activities.

Cowboys Winning Again

March 1, 2013 Sports Comments Off

Submitted by Wayne Money

After a disappointing two game road stretch where the Varsity Cowboys lost to Suwannee, FL 4 to 3 and Ringgold, GA 16 to 6 , the Cowboy’s baseball team is back at their winning ways. The team traveled to Tallahassee Thursday for a Class 4A Distract 2 contest against the Godby Cougars and came home with a decisive 9 to 1 victory. As a team, the Cowboys had six hits, ten free passes and five RBI’s. With the win, their season record now stands at 3 wins against 2 losses, with a district record of 1 win and 0 losses. Zack Money picked up his second win of the season pitching a complete game with 12 K’s, 3 free passes and 0 earned runs.

On this cold evening, DJ Mcknight led the way at the plate going 1 for 2 with his 3rd HR of the season driving in 3 runs while being intentionally walked twice. Patrick Bowen, Zack Money, Chad Oliver and Akevious Williams added hits, and Jake Latner and Chad Oliver each picked up an RBI. Two big time defensive plays were made in the outfield; one diving catch by Akevious playing in right field and one over the shoulder grab by DJ in center field. Also contributing were Wayne Driggers, Brandon Hammond and Drew Richardson with runs scored. More news worthy of mentioning is the Cowboys check in this week at number 6 in the Big Bend area rankings as voted by Next level baseball.

The Cowboys continue on a nine game road swing today at 4:00pm against Melody Christian Academy in Live Oak.

Cowboys are BAD Hosts

February 11, 2013 Sports Comments Off

Submitted by Wayne Money

The 2013 Cowboy baseball season started last week at Boot Hill, and the hosts for the Cowboy Challenge were certainly ready to play ball. The Cowboys won Thursday’s season opener against the Lafayette Hornets 13 to 0, and then capped off the challenge with a 4 to 0 win Friday against the visiting Maclay Marauders. Taylor Howell picked up the pitching victory in Thursdays contest allowing only 3 hits, 1 walk and 6 strikeouts over four innings, and Zack Money picked up the victory Friday going four innings while allowing 1 hit, 3 free passes and striking out 9. Freshman, Alex Tyson, got the first save of his young career Friday pitching a strong inning to end the game.

For the two games combined, Cowboy batters racked up 19 hits, 11 walks and 14 RBI’s. Leading the way in hits were Patrick Bowen, Taylor Howell and Akevious Williams with four hits each including 3 doubles for Patrick. DJ McKnight contributed with five RBI’s off 2 sac flys, a double and a 3-run homer, and Jake Latner and Zack Money were walked three times each. Jake picked up 2 hits and 2 runs scored, and Wayne Driggers and Drew Richardson picked up RBI singles.

The Cowboys next take on the Suwannee Bulldogs in Live Oak Friday, February 15, 2013. The next home game is not until February 26th against the Hamilton County Trojans.
