JA knocks off SCA, falls to Marengo
"We aren't playing consistent enough," Eagle coach Bobby Carpenter said. "One game we will play good and then the next game we fall apart." The Eagles have been getting solid pitching but shaky defense has resulted in several of the losses. "We need to hit the ball better and play better defense. We have about three kids really hitting the ball well. Pitching has been decent, we just have to play better defense behind them," Carpenter said. With six new starters on the 19-man roster, the Eagles are gearing up for what could be a solid year on the diamond. "We have six new starters. We are working hard and hopefully we will get better," Carpenter added. JA 7, SCA 2 Jackson Academy rode the arm of Logan Barnes en route to a 7-2 victory of the visiting Rebels of SCA Tuesday, March 4. Barnes went the distance on the mound scattering six hits and striking out 11 Rebels through seven innings. Cody Ready had a big night at the plate with a 2-3 performance including a homer. Wesley Harris, Trey Lambard and Josh Overstreet all had 2-4 nights for the Eagles. Marengo 11, JA 1 The Eagles suffered eight errors on defense and that was enough to give a strong Marengo team a 11-1 win. Jamie Rone picked up the loss on the mound for the Eagles.
