SNEADS – The Sneads Pirates baseball squad returned to action after the spring break with a district win by pounding the Blountstown Tigers 17-3 in five innings on Tuesday night. Jerry Bamburg got the win on the mound as he gave up 3 runs on 3 hits. With the win Sneads evened their overall record at 8-8 on the season and improved to 4-2 in district play. The Pirates will next take Bozeman on Thursday in another district matchup.
After falling behind 1-0 in the top of the first inning the Pirates struck for 6 runs in their first at bat. Trevin Hall’s 2 RBI singles scored Taylor Edge and Bubba Carpenter. Hall then scored on a RBI single by Clayton Smith. An RBI single by John Beauchamp brought home Dustin Holmes and then the Pirates added two more runs on a Blountstown throwing error. The Tigers added two runs in the top of the second inning but again the Pirates fired right back with 6 more runs in the bottom of the inning. Edge led off the inning with a single and then scored on a RBI single by Hall. After a single by Smith, Hall was able to score on a wild pitch to make it an 8-3 lead. Bamburg stroked a RBI single to score Smith and then Marcus Beauchamp’s 2 RBI double scored two more Pirates to push the lead to 11-3. Bubba Carpenter brought home the final run of the inning with a RBI double to score Beauchamp.
Sneads made it a 10 run lead in the third inning as Hall led off with a single and then later scored on a fielder’s choice to make it a 13-3 Pirate lead. In the fourth inning Holmes and Carpenter led off with singles and then scored on a 2 RBI triple by Edge. Hall came to the plate and took one deep over the left field fence to swell the lead to 17-3.
Head Coach Mark Guerra said the win was a good way to come back after the spring break. "Coming back after the spring break and playing the like we did feels real good. We did a good job of doing the little things and played sound defense. We’ve got three more games this week so this was a good start to the week," said Guerra.
