There's no place like home for First Coast, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Ribault Trojans a 5-0 shutout on Wednesday. That's more bragging rights for the Buccaneers, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
The result came thanks to Khalin Daniels's shutout, as he gave up just four hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Kris Thorne, who scored a run while going 1-for-2.
First Coast hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ribault struck out seven times.
