Falcons won the tournament championship, btw

So, I’ve been extremely busy with helping Ginger get the boxes unpacked and getting everything settled in here at the new house. Naturally, I haven’t blogged much as a result. Stephen’s baseball team did end up winning the Hall County Middle School Championship for both the regular season and the County Tournament. I’ve attached a copy of the newspaper clipping that came out in the Gaineville Times the day after their big win.

I’m very proud of Stephen and how well he did playing up with 7th and 8th graders this season. He finished the season very strong with a .425 batting average. His on base percentage was very high too. While I didn’t calculate it during the season, I feel certain that it was probably .700 or better.

Stephen is going to pick up and play a few more games with his old team, the Collins Hill Eagles and will travel to Cooperstown, NY with the team in June to play a tournament. Thanks to all who followed us this baseball season and to all those who have coached Stephen in the past. Your support and efforts mean a lot to Stephen as well as Ginger and me.

Falcons advance to tournament championship

The CW Davis Falcons routed the East Hall Vikings yesterday with a final score of 16-4. This win advances the Falcons to the tournament championship which will be played tonight, April 27, 2009, at 6:30 p.m. at Laurel Park in Gainesville, GA.

There were numerous highlights to yesterdays game. Alden Jackson started on the hill and went 1 full inning allowing only 1 run. Brad Brown pitched very well for innings 2 and 3. Dylan Streets entered in relief of Brown and pitched the 4th and 5th innings to close out the game.

Offensively, the Falcons performed very well. Big Mac Combs continues to hit the ball well. Combs hit a singe and a double on the day. The double went to Center Field and the poor player let the ball roll through his legs all the way to the fence so Combs ended up scoring on the hit. Stephen Skeggs went 1 for 2 on the day with a double down the Left Field line, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, and a strike-out. He scored 3 runs on the day. Skeggs improves his average to .459 for the season. Andrew Miles had a great day at the plate with 2 singles and a double with 5 RBI’s on the day. Brandon Benevento put a double down the Left Field line and got an RBI. Dylan Gibeau returned to the Falcons line-up after being on the DL for the entire regular season. Gibeau was the DH and went 3 for 3 on the day with 2 singles and a double.

The Falcons will face the Gainesville Red Elephants tonight for the championship game. We hope to take it all.

Falcons take first place with win over Gainesville

The CW Davis Falcons middle school baseball team has finished regular season play in 1st place. Last night’s 8-4 win over the Gainesville Red Elephants sealed the Falcons 1st place spot. This was the final regular season game and the Falcons ended up with a record of 11-3.

Last nights highlights were plentiful. Mack Combs continues to stay hot at the plate and had a double and single on the night. Stephen Skeggs had an awesome night at the plate as well going 3 for 5 on the night with 2 RBI’s, 3 runs scored, and a stolen base. Cameron Warner scorched a ball to Right Center field for a double. Andrew Miles also hit a double last night. Brandon Benevento, Dylan Streets, Duece Davidson, and Micah McWhorter all hit or put the ball in play to advance a runner or bring in a run during last nights game too.

Defensively, Brandon Benevento dominated on the mound once again. Benevento went 6 innings and threw 8 strike outs. Andrew Miles entered in relief in the bottom of the 7th inning and struck out the side.

Congratulations to the CW Davis Falcons, the first ever Hall County Middle School Baseball League Champions.
