LCHS Baseball, Lumpkin County High School, Sports, Team FYN Sports June 28, 2019
The Lumpkin County Indians baseball team closed their summer league season with an 8-5 win over White County at home yesterday.
This game was a bounce-back for the Indians, who lost 6-0 the day before in a home game against the Chestatee War Eagles.
Lumpkin County broke out with a four run lead in the bottom of the first. A single by Andrew Segars and Caleb Childs each along with a triple by Harris Taylor assured the Indians a comfortable lead early on.
The Lumpkin County Indians finished out their summer league season with an 8-5 victory over the White County Warriors on Thursday.
Dalton Caldwell started on the hill for the Indians, and closed out two innings before the Warriors got two runs on the board in the top of the third.
Those two runs were from a deep drive out to center field by Warrior Kyler Mayo, earning him two RBIs and the first runs of the day for White County.
Lumpkin got the bases loaded in the top of the fifth, thanks to another single by Segars and a double by Nick Turner. From there it was a matter of getting runners across the plate, and singles from Harris Taylor and Caleb Childs brought the score up to 8-2.
The White County Warriors fell to the Indians 8-5 on Thursday at Indian Park.
White County brought in three more runs in the top of the sixth, but in the end the Indians triumphed to finish out the summer.
“Today was a big confidence builder for these guys,” said Head Coach Jonathan Gastley. “We gotta just keep working and doing the little things that we’re doing.”
