The Indians played perhaps their best game of the season so far in a 7-2 win at East Jackson on Wednesday night. Playing for a second straight night, TFS was able to come away with the bounce-back win in what proved to be a solid outing in every facet. Chase Pollock pitched a great game, Frankie Moree had a homerun as part of a 4-hit effort, and the defense played arguably its best game yet.
TFS scored in five of the innings and immediately put pressure on East Jackson with a pair in the first when bringing home one on an error and another on a bases loaded walk by Rohajae Pinder. The Eagles got a run back in the home half, but starter Pollock buckled down from there.
Danny Grant helped Tallulah Falls get the run back with a sacrifice fly to plate Zaiden Cox. Moree blasted his second homer in as many days with a one-out, solo round-tripper in the fourth inning, stretching the lead to 4-1. Pollock pitched a 1-2-3 fourth and fifth inning to keep East Jackson reeling.
In the sixth, BJ Carver doubled home Moree, who had singled moments before. That pushed the lead up to 5-1. After the Eagles scratched across their final run in the home half, the Indians retaliated with a Davante Brown hit by pitch with the bases full. Moments later, Moree singled in Brown to cap the scoring at 7-2.
Pinder pitched a quick seventh inning to conclude the game. Moree had 4 hits, including a home run, had 2 RBI and 3 runs scored, and added a walk and stolen base. Carver had 2 hits and an RBI, and a run scored. Grant, Pinder, and Brown all had an RBI as well. In total, TFS recorded 8 hits. Pollock went 6 innings to earn his second win of the season and struck out 6 against 4 hits and 3 walks.
TFS is now 3-2 on the season and is back in action on March 3 against Clay High School (FL).
