The Sherwood Christian Academy Eagles will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge the Monroe Golden Tornadoes at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
Sherwood Christian Academy is leaving town to face Monroe after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Sherwood Christian Academy lost 16-0 to Terrell Academy on Saturday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it 16 in a row.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Monroe). They put the hurt on Macon County with a sharp 18-0 win on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Javion Tinch was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). That's the fewest hits he has allowed since back in April of 2024. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing six bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. He is becoming a predictor of Monroe's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Monroe got a massive performance out of Isaiah Royal, who scored three runs and stole four bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. The dominant performance gave Royal a new career-high in runs. Chamarr Astin was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
Monroe always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .917. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
