Gatewood took care of business in their home opener on Thursday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Tallulah Falls Indians a 4-0 shutout.
Walker Roberts and Wilson Moore were a major factor while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Roberts struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Moore didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only a hit while striking out nine over four innings pitched. That's the fewest hits Roberts has allowed since back in March of 2024. At bat, Roberts went 1-for-3 with one home run, while Moore went 1-for-3 with one home run and one stolen base.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ben Brannen, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.
Tallulah Falls' loss ended a three-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 1-2.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Gatewood will face off against Westfield School at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Tallulah Falls will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Prince Avenue Christian at 4:00 p.m. on March 6th.
