The Cowboy varsity baseball team lost two games this week while on their annual Spring break from the daily high school grind. Hard to stay focused on baseball when there’s trips to take, Spring cleaning to do around the house and whatever else teenagers do these days. With the 11 to 1 loss to Valdosta and the 7 to 2 loss to Wakulla the Cowboys season record now stands at 12 wins and 6 losses, with a district record of 4 wins and 2 losses. The Cowboys will be back to their normal routine beginning Monday April 2nd when they travel to Quitman to take on the Brooks County Trojans, and after that the Cowboys will be home for seven straight games beginning April 5th against the Lafayette Hornets at 7:00pm.

The Cowboy varsity baseball team traveled to Live Oak Tuesday for a contest against Melody Christian Academy at 5:00pm, and came away with a 2 to 1 victory. The Cowboys were held to a season low four hits, but they were timely enough to produce their 12th win of the season. The Cowboys season record now stands at 12 wins and 4 losses, with a district record of 4 wins and 2 losses. Taylor Howell picked up his fourth win of the season against no losses pitching 4 2/3 innings, and Heath Carroll got the final out of the game for his third save of the season. As a good friend of mine likes to say “it doesn’t matter how, JUST WIN BABY”.

On the night, Aaron Brown had 2 hits and Zack Money was 1 for 2 scoring once and driving in his 13th run of the season. Taylor Howell added a single and a run scored, and Heath Carroll drove in his 21st run of the season. That was it offensively… Probably saving their swings for this Thursday’s district contest. As a side note, the Cowboys lead the state in Division 4A with 134 runs scored and are 5th overall statewide.

ABSOLUTE FINAL REMINDER – The next home game is Thursday, March 22nd at 7:00pm against those folks from Taylor County, so rest up and come out and help the Cowboys whip them dogs.

The Cowboy varsity baseball team traveled to Jasper Monday night expecting just a non-district contest against the Hamilton County Trojans, but they had to brave swarms of mosquitoes as well to bring home their eleventh win of the season. The Cowboys won the game 7 to 3 against the Trojans and their blood sucking mates and now have a season record of 11 wins and 4 losses, with a district record of 4 wins and 2 losses. Jarrod Burns picked up his third win of the season pitching 4 shutout innings, and DJ McKnight pitched 3 innings in relief for his second save of the season.

On the night, Heath Carroll and DJ McKnight had two hits each including two triples for DJ and four RBI’s for Heath. Adam Odiorne contributed with a single and two RBI’s, and Dustin Bezick, Jarrod Burns, Taylor Howell, and Jake Latner pitched in with singles. The traveling Cowboy fans came through as well killing in bunches the flying vampires that infested the premises.

The Cowboys take the field again Tuesday, March 20th when they travel to Live Oak for a contest against Melody Christian Academy at 5:00pm.

FINAL REMINDER – The next home game is Thursday, March 22nd at 7:00pm against the Taylor County Bulldogs, so rest up and come out Thursday and help the Cowboys whip them dogs.

On Friday night in Quincy, the Cowboy varsity baseball team won their second district game of the week and fourth game of the week overall against the host East Gadsden Jaguars. It was evident from the start the players were a little flat and it would be a struggle to finish out a week that included four games, a sponsor luncheon, nine week exams, a wonderful Rally-for-Ryan, practice and a lot of girl chasing. The Cowboys trailed 4 to 2 heading into the sixth inning, but they finally found the patience and energy to force across seven runs and end any hopes the Jaguars had for an upset. With the 9 to 4 victory, the Cowboys season record now stands at 10 wins and 4 losses, with a 4A District 2 leading record of 4 and 2. Taylor Howell picked up the victory pitching 5 1/3 innings allowing three earned runs and striking out eleven, and Heath Carroll relieved shutting down the Jaguars for 1 2/3 innings with three strikeouts. Heath lowered his team leading ERA to 1.20 and has now pitched 11 2/3 innings on the season with only one hit batter.

For the game, Patrick Bowen led the way offensively going 4 for 4 at the plate. Jarrod Burns, Heath Carroll, an Jake Latner all went 2 for 4 at the plate with Jarrod driving in two runs and launching his 2nd home run of the season, Heath driving in four runs and Jake driving in two. DJ McKnight and Taylor Howell added singles with DJ driving in his team high 16th run of the season.

The Cowboys take the field again Monday, March 19th when they travel to Jasper for a contest against the Hamilton County Trojans at 7:00pm.
DON’T FORGET – The next home game is Thursday, March 22nd at 7:00pm against those Bulldogs from Taylor County, so rest up and come out Thursday and help cheer the Cowboys to victory. I’ll betcha this will be a game to remember.
