Varsity - Game 2: White County (1) @ Jefferson (9)...Post 1

After a two week delay to start the season, the 3A Jefferson Dragons were finally able to get their season started.  The Dragons hit the road for their first game against 5A Gainesville.  This was a tough start as the Dragons fell 3-0 to the Red Elephants.  Jefferson bounced back on Saturday as they kicked off their home schedule hosting 4A White County.  The Dragons stormed ahead to take a 9-1 win versus the Warriors.  #7 Ethan Garner got the start on the hill and combined with 3 innings and 4 Ks and the 1 run.  #20 Taylor Wilkes pitched 2 innings of relief with 1 K and 0 runs. #19 Christian Hutch and #9 Jake Franklin pitched 1 inning each with 1 K a piece and 0 runs to keep the Warriors silent and take a big win.  Leading the Dragons offensively, #22 Micah Carpenter with 3-for3 and Garner went 3-for-4 with 1 RBI. Additional run support came off #18 Will Breese with 1 RBI in the 2nd, Wilkes with 2 RBIs in the 3rd, #8 Hunter Thompson with 1 RBI in the 2nd, and #24 Jonathan Ray with a SacFly RBI in the 5th. Jefferson stands at 1-1 on the season as they next take on 5A Apalachee and then travel to the Lake Point Perfect Game complex in Bartow County next weekend to take on 2A Wesleyan and 4A Upson-Lee at the Perfect Game Spring Swing.
