Spring Hill 4             Ouachita 14

Carson Moore got the nod from Coach Loe in the opening game against the Warriors, and Moore was in a difficult spot on Thursday, as he would have to maneuver around a handful of errors. Ouachita had an early 7-2 lead after the third inning and never looked back as they took advantage of some miscues. Moore would work hard and eat up some innings for the pitching staff, as he finished with allowing just 3 ER and striking out 2.  Karson Moore led the Bears offense, as he blasted a HR and smacked a single. Mason Moore reached base safely in all 3 plate appearances, as Mason had a 2-hit game and drew a walk for the Bears. Caleb Clayton would hit a double, while Carson Moore, Reese Tarver, and Brady Rhodes would each have singles for Spring Hill.

Reese Tarver would double and Zane Minton would single to drive in runs for the Bears in the opening inning. Genoa would fight back and push across 2 runs in the second inning, and another in the third inning to tie the game. The game was back and forth, entering the sixth inning in a 9-9 tie.

Brady Rhodes, Mason Moore, and Jaxon Smith each had 2 hits for the Bears. Caleb Clayton, Zane Minton, Reese Tarver, and Karson Hamilton would each have htis for the Bears.
