The Allatoona Buccaneers will head out to take on the Elbert County Blue Devils at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Allatoona will be strutting in after a win while Elbert County will be coming in after a defeat.
While Buccaneers fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They walked away with a 6-2 victory over Peachtree Ridge on Friday.
Allatoona got a great performance from Cooper Underwood as he didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits while striking out six over 4.2 innings pitched. What's more, Underwood also gave up only zero earned runs, the fewest he's had since back in March of 2024.
At the plate, Allatoona let Parker Hope and Sam Tomczak loose on the outfield. Hope scored a run while going 2-for-3, while Tomczak went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. The dominant performance also gave Hope a new career-high in hits (two). Another player making a difference was Anthony Planeta, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3.
Meanwhile, Elbert County came up short against Fannin County on Friday, falling 15-4. The loss was the Blue Devils' first of the season.
Sam Amabile made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-2. Amabile is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's stolen at least one every time he's taken the field this season.
