Our first tournament of the year was a fast one. We went out in two but we played good. In the first game we played the Georgia Merchants out of Kesley, Ga. Both teams was slow to start hitting and scoring, the first three innings went fast. TriCounty scored first and was up 8 to 4 going into the bottom of the 7th with the Georgia Merchants getting the last say as they scored 2and hit a 3 run homer to end the game with a final score of 9-8.
In our 2nd game we played Dunn's Plumbing out of Brunswick, GA, both teams hit the ball real well but we had several errors that cost us runs. Dunn's won 16 to 14.
David Rushing lead the team in hitting with a .875 batting average and was followed by Josh Berry with a .750 batting average, both guys hit the ball real well. Others, William Huffstetler .750, Joe Aderholt .667. Our team average was .506, not bad for our first tournament of the year!!!
