The Mississippi Baseball Congress State Tournament did not end the way we wanted it to, but there are definitely a few things to highlight! In 54 total at bats, the Benchwarmer hitters only managed to strikeout 7 total times while walking 12. At the Plate, Brandon Woodland went 5-5 with an RBI and a stolen base. Woodland reached base in every single plate appearance he had! On the mound,Justin Pritchettt threw a complete game in game one. In the first inning, Pritchett struggled to find control and the opposing team went up 4-0 on 5 walks and hit-batsman, but that was all they could muster as Pritchett settled in and struck out 11 over the next 6 innings while only allowing 1 hit. Brandon Woodland and Justin Pritchett both managed to grab All-State honors!
The Benchwarmers will jump back into league olay and travel to Hattiesburg on August 10th to take on the 1st placePine Belt Piratess!
