FDA’s JV baseball team took the field at 9 a.m. on Saturday for their second game of the tournament hosted by Crenshaw Christian Academy with Charlie Scofield on the mound against Lee-Scott.

Fort Dale scored early with a run-producing sacrifice by Connally Walters and a one-run double by Scofield.

They continued their barrage against LSA’s pitcher in the second inning with Skylar Mckeown’s one-run single and Walters’ two-run single both coming with two outs.

Meanwhile, Scofield was shutting down the Warriors’ hitters.

At the end of two innings the Eagles held a 5-0 lead.

The game was then interrupted by a two-hour-plus rain delay.

After the resumption of play, the Lee Scott batters came alive and scored three runs on three hits and an error in the bottom of the third.

Fort Dale followed up in the bottom half of the inning with a run-scoring single by Brandon Matthews.

Mckeown pitched the top half of the fourth, closing the win with three strikeouts.

Mckeown finished the game 1-2 with one RBI, Walters was 1- 1 with a sacrifice and three RBIs, Mathews 1- 2 with one RBI, Scofield 2- 2 with one RBI and Chip Taylor chipped in with one single in two at-bats.

David Miller and Charlie Scofield scored a run apiece, with Ryan Taylor and Skylar McKeown each crossing the plate twice.

The final score was 6-3.

As Coach Jason Taylor commented, “It was a good win, coming after over a two hour rain delay. Charlie Scofield pitched well, throwing strikes and utilizing a solid defense behind him. When Lee Scott began hitting, Skylar Mckeown came in and struck out the side to secure the win.”
