The Indians have defeated the #2 team in the country as ranked by the NJCAA, in game one today.
The Indians relied on a great pitching performance (complete game) by freshman Griffin Spires 3-2 (West Columbia, SC) to hold the Pioneers to 1-run.
Leading the Indians:
Oliver Santos (San Domingo, DR) hit his 7th home-run of the season and Pat Cassidy (Lexington, SC) had a double and RBI and Dylan Hightower (Cayce, SC) had a double and an RBI.
The Final score was USC Salkehatchie 3, Spartanburg Methodist 1
The Indians are now 17-17 and 11-8 in Region X.
Game 2 is set to get underway at any moment. If I get any in-game updates I will post them to the blog so check back often, if not I will post the final score to the blog.
I am also in hopes that USC Salkehatchie assistant coach Jeff Wicker will pass along some information on both games for the blog as soon as game 2 is completed.
