THS JV stays unbeaten The Thomasville High School junior varsity baseball team picked up two more wins this past week to run their season record to 6 - 0. They opened the week on Monday, March 17, with a road trip across the Tombigbee River where they defeated the Leroy High School junior varsity 16 - 6. Playing at home on Thursday, March 20, they took care of business again handing the visiting Monroe County Tiger JV an 8 - 4 loss. In the victory over the Bears, Sean Skelton started on the mound and picked up the win allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven in five innings of work. Darius Bowen finished the game pitching the final two innings in which he allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three. At the plate the Tigers exploded for 16 hits led by Sean Skelton and Charles Taylor with three apiece. Josh Jackson, Brett Skelton, and Russ Wright were next with two each while Darius Bowen, Zack Day, Jo Jo Holden, and Jarrett Taylor all added one. In the extra-base hit category Charles Taylor led the way with a homerun and a double while Holden, Jackson and his brother Jarrett Taylor all slugged a double. RBI leaders were; Charles Taylor and Brett Skelton with three each followed by Jackson and Jarrett Taylor with two apiece. Teammates adding one each to the cause included Brett Green, Holden and Sean Skelton. Although Thomasville JV Tigers ultimately came out on top against the Monroe County JV, it wasn't easy. The visiting Tigers jumped out to a 4 - 0 lead in the top of the first inning and were still on top 4 - 3 after two. The homestanding Tigers stayed the course however and added five more runs over the next two innings to pull off the win. Leading the charge was Charles Taylor with three hits including two triples. Right behind him was Sean Skelton and Sam Wise with two hits each and Darius Bowen with one. Sean Skelton was the RBI leader with two followed by Bowen and Wise with one apiece. On the mound Will Morgan, the second of three pitchers used by Thomasville in the game, was credited with the win. Over the course of his two inning stint he hit one batter and struck out three. Morgan was preceded by Jake Dukes who allowed four runs on two hits, three walks, and one hit batter while striking out four in two innings of work. Jay Williams pitched the final frame of the five inning contest giving up one hit and two walks while striking out two.
After taking this week off for spring break, the Tiger JV is scheduled to be back in action on Monday March 31, when they host the Demopolis JV in a 4:00 PM contest. That's just the first of four games they are scheduled to play during the week with Citronelle set to come to Thomasville on Tuesday, April 1 for a make up double header and before the Tigers travel to Jackson on Thursday, April 3, for a 4:00 PM match-up with the Aggies.
