It has been years since Warren County Middle School has fielded a baseball team. Most of the school's eligible players have never even played organized baseball. Coach Moon, Coach Blount and Coach Swann simply hoped for the team to improve and lay the foundation for the program this season. Imagine their surprise when the Screaming Devils were not only competitive, but victorious as well in only their second game of the season.
Warren County defeated Hancock Central by a score of 13-3 at Hancock Wednesday. The victory followed a 15-0 loss in three innings at the hands of Wrens last Thursday. When asked what the difference was between the two games, Coach Moon replied, "We put the bat on the ball against Hancock, which is something we didn't do against Wrens. The team also looked much more comfortable on the field after getting some real game experience."
Leading the Screaming Devils at the plate with hits were Cortez Wentz, Darwin Montgomery, Deondre Battle, Javari "Miami" Johnson, and Jontavious Jackson. Deonte Battle threw for two strike outs in the first inning before running into trouble and walking the next batter and hitting the following two. Darwin Montgomery came on in relief to close out the inning. Montgomery went the rest of the game and recorded eight strikeouts and two walks while only giving up two runs.
Warren County takes on Glascock County at home today at 4:30. All fans are encouraged to come out and support the Screaming Devils.
