TMS baseball picks up three wins The Thomasville Middle School baseball team picked up three wins this past week including sweeping Martin Middle School of Selma 13 - 0 and 13 - 6 on Monday, March 3, and taking a single game from Sweet Water 6 - 3 on Thursday, March 6. The double header with Martin Middle School was played on the road in Selma while the game with Sweet Water took place in Thomasville. In the first game with Martin Middle School Tevin Watters started on the mound for TMS and pitched a five inning complete game to pick up the win. During the game he shutout the Bulldogs allowing one hit and three walks while striking out nine. At the plate the Tigers were led by Austin Parrish with three hits followed by Ryan Chaney, Caleb DeRouen, Hunter Jackson, John Knight, and Tevin Watters with one hit each. Jackson and Knight led the way in extra-base hits with Jackson legging out a triple and Knight slugging a double. In the RBI category Chaney and Knight were the leaders with two each followed by Parrish, Justin Parten, Cody Shoemaker, and Watters with one apiece. Game two of the twin-bill saw TMS use three pitchers with Cory Orr, who started the game, picking up the win. In his two innings of work he allowed four runs on three hits, four and four walks while striking out four. Steffan Chapman followed Orr to the mound and worked 1 2/3 innings in which he allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three. Hunter Jackson closed the game striking out one hitter in 1/3 inning of work. On offense Hunter Jackson set the pace for the Tigers with two hits. Joining him with one hit apiece were; Lamarr Charleston, Ryan Cribb, Tyler Dement, Drew Downey, Corey Orr and Cody Shoemaker. In the extrabase hit area Charleston and Jackson both had doubles. In the RBI category Charleston led the way with three followed by Dement and Jackson with two each. The game with Sweet Water proved to be a good one just as the doubleheader split between the two teams early in the season had been. In this one the two teams were tied twice during the game before the Tigers scored three in the sixth to put it away. Hunter Jackson who started for the Tigers picked up the win working six innings in which he allowed three runs on eight hits and one hit batsman while striking out three. Tevin Watters who closed the game earned a save giving up one hit and striking out two in one inning on the hill. On offense the Tigers recorded five hits with John Knight leading the charge with two while Steffan Chapman, Ryan Cribb, and Tevin Watters all had one. For the Tigers it wasn't the number of hits that made the difference but their timeliness. In the extra-base hit area Knight had a pair of triples while Chapman had a double. Chapman was the RBI leader with three followed by Knight with two and Watters with one.
On the agenda this week the 4 - 2 TMS Tigers were scheduled to travel to Demopolis for a doubleheader with Demopolis Middle School on Monday, March 10, and then return home for doubleheaders with Wilson Hall Middle School on Wednesday, March 12, and Martin Middle School on Friday, March 14.
