Trojans Hammer Southeast Raleigh
WEB CAST.
Garner scored a season high 16 runs on Wednesday afternoon including 11 runs in the second inning as they picked up a 16-0 victory at Southeast Raleigh.
The Trojans (10-6, 5-1) scored three runs in the opening frame but most of the damage came in the second inning when the Trojans sent 14 batters to the plate and scored 11 runs in the frame. The big knock came off the bat of Tyler Marshburn who blasted a grand slam over the wall in right center field for his first home run as a member of the squad.
Those 14 runs were more than enough for Garner starter, Scotty McCreery (W, 1-0) who worked four innings scattering three hits and striking out six without a walk to keep Southeast Raleigh (0-10, 0-6) scoreless.
Garner added two more runs in the fourth as Carrington Austin doubled home a pair (his second of the game) as he finished his day with four total RBIs.
The Trojans return to action on Tuesday, April 16 when they welcome the Clayton Comets to Trojan Park. First pitch is slated for 7:00

Pitchers Duel goes to Apex

Pitching was the story of the game on Friday night at Trojan Park, but it takes offense to win and Apex had just a little more at the plate as they defeated Garner 2-1 in the second game of the Four Oaks Bank/Tri-9 Challenge.
Apex (7-4) scored their first run of the game off Trojan starter Tyler Marshburn (L, 3-2) as Keaton Oaks hammer a home run over the wall in left. That would be all the Cougars got in the frame but they did threaten for more as the put runners at the corners with just one out before Marshburn pitched out of the jam.
Another run crossed the plate for Apex in the third as Austin Debevec singled to begin the inning and later scored on a Matt Tenuta sacrifice fly to put the Cougars up 2-0.
Meanwhile Garner (9-5) couldn't get their offense going as Tenuta (W, 3-2) kept the Trojans off balance all night long and on the occasions the Trojans did threaten, the lefty managed to pitch out of the trouble.
The men of Troy finally pushed across a run in the fifth when Alec Hulmes grounded out to third which plated Taylor Stephens. That would be as close as the Trojans got as in the seventh as Debevec recorded the final three outs to lift Apex to the 2-1 victory.
Garner returns to action on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 when they travel to Holly Springs High School to battle the Golden Hawks in the final game of the Four Oaks Bank/Tri-9 Challenge.

Trojans fall in Sectional Final
WEB CAST.
Millbrook erased an eight point, 28-20 halftime deficit on Friday night at Trojan Coliseum to move into the regional semi-finals with a 62-55 win over the Garner Trojans.
Garner (25-3) trailed by three points at 14-11 after the opening eight minutes but were able to rally in the games second stanza as Gavin Wilson caught fire from the outside knocking down a pair of three pointers as he poured in 13 points to give the men of Troy a 28-20 lead at intermission.
Millbrook (24-6) came out on fire in the third quarter scoring the first seven points of the stanza to pull to within one point at 28-27 prompting Coach Gray to call a timeout to stop the bleeding. As the quarter wore on, the contest became a back and fourth affair as the Wildcats were led by Karon Blount and Shi'Chee Moore who kept them in the game and helped Millbrook take a 40-38 lead into the final quarter.
In the final minutes of the final stanza, the Trojans couldn't get the buckets to fall as Moore put Millbrook on his back scoring 18 of his game high 21 points in the second half including 10 points in the fourth quarter to lift the Wildcats to a 62-55 victory.
For the Trojans another spectacular season comes to a conclusion but the Trojan Nation would like to extend their appreciation to the nine seniors who provided us with so many memories over the past four seasons. The Garner senior basketball players went 51-4 over the past two seasons including an 88-27 record over the past four years.
