Ethan Hunt had the best game from the plate for the Tigers as he went two for three with three runs scored and an RBI.

Tripp Cummings put on a clinic from the mound, only allowing 1 hit in four innings and striking out 10 batters. 

The second game was even more devastating for Spencer as the game ended in just two and a half innings of play as the Tigers outmuscled them 18-0. 

Troup County got the scoring started early with 11 runs in the bottom of the first inning. 

There were quality performances from the plate all-around for the Tigers in this game. Brett Haynes went two for three with four RBIs and two runs scored. Devon Murphy went one for one with three RBIs and two runs scored. 

Hunt had another good game as he went one for three with two RBIs and two runs scored. Hunt is just a freshman and showed a lot of promise in the two games against Spencer.

Rocky Pemberton got the start on the mound and did not disappoint as he only allowed one hit in his three innings of work. He also struck out eight batters on the evening. 

The Tigers move to 9-4 overall and 3-1 in region play. Weather permitting, Troup County’s next game is a double header against Kendrick on Friday.
