Ellis Blackwood Game Report: @ Thales Academy Apex

Sadly, Ellis Blackwood posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Neuse Christian Academy over Thales Academy Apex on Monday. Blackwood scored two runs and stole five bases while going 2-for-2. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 1.2 stolen bases per game.

Blackwood and Neuse Christian Academy will take on Trinity of Durham and Chapel Hill at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Despite Blackwood's best efforts to the contrary, the Lions will head into their next match having dropped six straight contests. Will Friday be the turning point?
