Athens proved they can win big last Saturday (they won by ten) and on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the James Clemens Jets 7-6. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 1-0 two weeks ago.
The team relied heavily on John Lawrence Chittam, who scored two runs while going 3-for-4. Chase Taylor also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Athens has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.5 runs over those games. This is the second loss in a row for James Clemens and nudges their season record down to 5-5.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Athens will square off against Grissom at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. James Clemens will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Westminster Christian Academy at 4:30 p.m. on March 18th.
