It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Lee-Scott Academy had no problem doing just that on Friday. They skirted past the Saint James Trojans 4-2. That's the third time they've managed to beat them this season, with their most recent win being a 11-3 victory back in March.
Barrett Cook made a big impact no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over seven innings pitched. Cook was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one triple and two RBI. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Griffin Gaston, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March.
