After a 4-2 win at Smithfield on Tuesday night, the Trojans hosted the Spartans at Trojan Park on Wednesday night. Garner started Matt Hawley who was making his first career Varsity start and didn't pitch bad.
Hawley gave up a first inning run on a solo home run by Kevin Rose, but Garner would respond in the bottom half as Jesse Fisher led off the bottom of the first as he homered on the very first pitch to tie the game.
After the Spartans got two in the top of the third, the Trojans bounced right back in the bottom half with a three spot as CJ Schmitt singled home Fisher and Brett Bailey and Alec Hulmes both had RBI singles to chase the Spartan starter from the game.
But, the Trojans were no where near done as they sent 12 batters to the plate in the fourth inning and scored six runs all six runs came on solid singles and a few Spartan walks.
Garner would end the game in the bottom of the fifth as they were up 10-3 going into the fifth. With one out, Schmitt singled, which was followed by a Josh Randle singled and a Brett Bailey single which scored Schmitt and Hulmes singled to score Bailey and the game winning hit came from Brett Walters who singled to left to plate the game winning run and give the Trojans a 13-3 win over SSS.
Garner is now 3-2 on the season as they host Wake Forest-Rolesville at Trojan Park tomorrow night.

Garner gave SSS a first inning run in the JV game but responded in the bottom half with three runs. Vince Jefferies singled and scored on a two run double by Jake Faucette and Aquail Sanders scored the final first inning run for Garner as Austin Walker singled him home.
The game was tied at four going to the bottom of the fourth when Garner began to put some distance between themselves and SSS as they score two runs in the fourth, but the big inning for Garner was the fifth inning as Taylor Stephens singled and advanced to second on a throwing error, Skylar Strickland then reached and both he and Stephens scored on Spartan errors.
The inning continued for Jared Newbry who singled to right and later scored on a two run triple by Vince Jefferies. The big blow of the inning came from Aquail Sanders who homered to DEEP left center field to give the Trojans an 11-4 lead.
Garner would go on to win the game 12-4 and improve to 5-0 on the year. Garner will also host Wake Forest-Rolesville at 5:00 on Thursday
