How It Happened

Game One

North Greenville struck first in game one of the double header on Saturday afternoon.  The Crusaders' Scolamir walked to lead-off the game and then stole second to get into scoring position.  Josh Black followed with a walk to take first base and put runners at first and second.  Maggio grounded out, but both runners were able to advance.  A double by Frazier allowed the two runners to come home, and then a single by Grant brought Frazier to third base.  Grant and Frazier each stole a base to give the Crusaders their last run of the inning.    The Crusaders ended the inning with a 3-0 lead over the Warriors.

The Crusaders continued their run, scoring six runs in the bottom of the second and another run in the bottom of the third before the Warriors could put anything on the board.  In the top of the fourth inning with one out, Trevor Walker homered to right field to bring the Warriors to 10-1 behind the Crusaders.

Southern Wesleyan held the Crusaders scoreless in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings.  In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Crusaders scored two more runs on a two run home run by Meadows down the right field line.  North Greenville won game one of the double header 12-1.
