Comments from This Board Rocks - RJR vs West Forsyth
Congrats to Coach Welch and the Demons on the victory tonight over the Titans. Titans jump out 4-0 early and seem on cruise control until the 4th. 2 walks, hit,pitching change, 4-1 and the wheels fell off. Hit batter, walk, 3 run double, single, double, pitching change and score 8-4. West never got any closer. Hats off to RJR. Well coached and played well defensively. Sorry about the names for Reynolds but too many to mention who came through for them. West will play at East Forsyth on Thursday and Friday at Mt. Tabor on Friday.

Connor Andres: 3-5; Tyler Carroll: 2-5 (2B); Michael Axe: 2-4 (2B); Zach Powell: 1-3 (2B); Ryan Lambeth: 2-4 (3B); Taylor Allen: 1-2

Senior, Zach Powell was the Demons starting pitcher.  Everything hit by North Forsyth was hit hard and seemed to find a hole in the defense as the Vikings staked a 7-0 lead going into the bottom of the 3rd.  Tyler Carroll leads off the 3rd with a double.  Connor Andres singles him in, Zach Powell walks and Michael Axe singles to load the bases.  Ryan Lambeth clears the bases with a triple.  Jordan Keith grounds to short to knock in Lambeth.  RJR fans are now seeing a ball game, only down 7-5.  A single, double and triple in the top half of the 4th lead to 3 more North Forsyth runs. 
A single by Lambeth and a sacrifice fly by Keith plate 1 run in the 5th.  With the score 10-6 after 5 innings, things turn bad for the Demons in the 6th as 12 Viking batters come to the plate and 6 runs are scored.  Now down 16-6 and facing the 10-run rule in the 6th, RJR scores 2 on a single and back to back doubles by Powell and Axe.  That was as close as it would get as the RJR Demons lose 16-8.  The North Forsyth Vikings hit the ball hard all night.  After 2 games, the Demons have proved they can hit the ball.  In time, everything will come together.
