Douglas Byrd hasn't had much luck against South View recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The Douglas Byrd Eagles will venture away from home to square off against the South View Tigers at 6:00 p.m.
Douglas Byrd is leaving town to face South View after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Douglas Byrd came up short against Jack Britt on Tuesday, falling 32-0. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it 24 in a row.
Meanwhile, South View had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Thursday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Eagles a 7-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won three matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
The result came thanks to David Ramsey's shutout, as he gave up just a hit and racked up nine Ks. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single earned run, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in March of 2024.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Trey Ray, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. Logan Read also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Douglas Byrd might still be hurting after the 20-0 loss they got from South View in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can Douglas Byrd avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
