Eagles Drop Home Game to Holtville

The Bulldogs from Holtville scored five in the top of the first and never looked back in a 7-3 defeat of ACA. Holtville’s first six batters reached safely in the five run frame. After the first, the Eagle pitchers settled down and allowed only two more sixth inning runs, but the game had been decided in the first.

Alabama Christian scored one run in the third inning on a Zac Westbrook ground out that scored Jalen Clark. The Eagles scored two more in the sixth on a Preston Perry sac fly which plated Mason Prestage and a Trey Schlemmer single to center that knocked in Brandon Bice. Six different players each had a hit for the ACA attack. JT Moorer started and took the loss as he went 4 2/3 innings with four walks and four strikeouts. Copeland Hilyer pitched the final 2 1/3 to finish the night.
