Back-to-Back No Hitters for Pennington & Meadows

On April 7, Coaches Tim Jordan and Brian Meadows took their O-Zone club to Lamar for an interleague matchup.  Armed with no scouting report on the Silver Foxes and coming off of a loss to another unfamiliar opponent (Bishopville's Lowder Farms), the Real Estate Moguls responded by no hitting their opponent.

Grayson Wint and Bennett Meadows combined for the four-inning no-no.  P&M blanked a shell-shocked Lamar club, 21-0.

In their next game, just a week later, P&M saw another combo no-no.  This time, Ryan Jordan joined Grayson Wint in no hitting Saleeby & Cox.  Due to a few miscues in the field and some opportune base-running by S&C, the final score was 5-4 (in favor of Pennington & Meadows). 

Congratulations to Ryan, Bennett and Grayson on their accomplishments!

Hartsville National Standings through April 18

Check out our standings through three weeks of play:

 

O-Zone Update through Three Weeks

For the third week of the season, there were only three O-Zone games on the schedule.  On Tuesday, Darlington Packing defeated Palmetto Pride 17-6.  In the late game, Grayson Wint and Ryan Jordan no-hit Saleeby & Cox, as Pennington & Meadows took the win 5-4.  A few miscues in the field for P&M and some solid baserunning by the Fighting Finks kept the game from being a shutout. 

On Friday, Steve Irick took his Darlington Packing team to Bishopville to square off with First Citizens.  Darlington Packing was sent packing and came back to Hartsville with a 7-5 loss.

There are still two more full weeks of first half action in O-Zone.  For the week of April 20, each O-Zone team will play two games against teams from either Lamar or Bishopville.  The following week, all O-Zone action will be at Byerly Park.  Assuming no weather delays, O-Zone's first half will end on April 28. 

Farm League Update through Three Weeks

We had a full slate of games in Farm League for Week 3.  On Monday, Sonoco Recycling beat Kiwanis 12-1 and Sonoco topped the Lions 9-4.  On Tuesday, the Lions bounced back with a 13-6 win over Palmetto Precision and Sonoco Recycling defended the DeLoach Cup with a 14-4 victory over Sonoco. 

On Friday, Sonoco Recycling won their third game of the week and seventh overall with an 11-4 hard fought win over Palmetto Precision.   The win clinched the first half championship for Sonoco Recycling. 

In Friday's second game, Zachary Pulling was the hero for Sonoco, blasting a walk off double to beat Kiwanis 8-7. 

Farm League's first half season has three games remaining.  The Lions and Kiwanis will play on April 20, as will Palmetto Precision and Sonoco.  After a few days off for a Coker College softball tournament, the Lions and Sonoco Recycling will battle it out in the last game of the first half on April 27. 

Sonoco Recyling Claims First Half Championship in Farm League

Sonoco Recycling clinched the first half championship in Farm League with one game to go.  Led by head coach Steven Wint, Sonoco Recycling currently holds a 7-0 record.

Congratulations, Sonoco Recycling!

Minor League Schedule Changes for April 20

Due to the rainouts on April 16, there have been some schedule adjustments for Minor League games on April 20:

At 5:30 on Field 5 (normally the O-Zone field), Hartsville Surgical will take on Allstate.  Also at 5:30, MKA and Jiffy Print will square off on Field 6.  In the nightcap on Field 5, Allstate will host the Minor League's first interleague game of the year.  Bishopville's AFM will be visiting Byerly and attempting to duplicate the success Bishopville's O-Zone's teams have had in interleague play.  The second game on Field 6 will be SPC vs. Hartsville Surgical. 

Please contact your coach if you have any questions.

Minor League Update After Week Three

Evan Young and SPC find themselves

atop the Minor League Standings after Week 3. 

 

Week Three proved to be another exciting week for the Minor League.  SPC Credit Union started off the week hot with a 12-3 victory over Jiffy Print on Monday.  In the night cap, Hartsville Surgical continued their downward slide with a 6-4 defeat at the hands of Daniel Norwood, Treion McFarland and the rest of the MKA Mechanics. 

On Tuesday, Jiffy Print, reeling from a 3 game losing streak, completed an epic comeback in the sixth inning to beat Allstate 10-9.  Big hits from Jacob Pulling and Rodney Atkinson were overshadowed by the pitching of Quez Hadley and hitting of Grant Watts and the rest of the JP crew.  In the late game, Cole Winburn and SPC knocked off Gage Hickson and MKA 12-8 to move atop the league standings.

Hartsville Surgical and Allstate were scheduled to play on Thursday, April 16.  The game was postponed due to rain.  It will be made up on Monday, April 20 at 5:30pm.

O-Zone Update for Week Two

O-Zone's second full week of play was a monumental week for Hartsville National.  This week marked the first week of Interleague Play with our friends from Lamar and Bishopville. 

Tim Jordan and Brian Meadows' crew kicked off Interleague Play against Lowder Farms.  Unfortunately for the Real Estate Moguls, Lowder Farms was able to plow the field for a 7-3 victory.  Also on Monday at Byerly Park, Bishopville's baseball version of Sonoco beat Willie Austin's Palmetto Pride 10-0

All four O-Zone teams had Interleague matchups on Tuesday.  Ricky Fink took his Saleeby & Cox club to Bishopville for Hartsville National's first road game in Interleague Play.  First Citizens was able to deposited runs when they need them and won the game 7-4.  While Fink's fortunes weren't so good on the road, Pennington & Meadows was able to get back on the winning track with a 21-0 win in Lamar. 

Lowder Farms traveled to Byerly Park again on Tuesday.  And again, they came away victorious.  This time with a win over Darlington Packing.  The 10-9 defeat marked the first loss of the season for Steve Irick's club.

Following the example set by Pennington & Meadows earlier in the night, Willie Austin's Palmetto Pride were able to knockoff Lamar 11-8. 

On Thursday, Ricky Fink carried his team back to Bishopville.  This time, Saleeby & Cox fell to Sonoco 11-8.

Minor League Update after Week Two

The second week of the Minor League season picked up where the first week left off:  lots of high drama and competitive play.  On Monday, Allstate picked up their first win of the season, beating SPC 10-3.  Ten year olds Rodney Atkinson, Tate McLendon and Bridges Teal led the charge for Allstate, with first year player J'shawn Anderson stating his case for Rookie of the Year.

Monday night's second game saw Quez Hadley's outstanding pitching performance come up short against Hartsville Surgical.  Playing from behind the whole game, the Fighting Stethoscopes rallied to score 7 in the bottom of the fifth and sealed the game with McKendrie Douglas retrieving an arrant throw and then throwing Hadley out at the plate.  The final score was 10-8 in favor of Hartsville Surgical.

The close games continued on Tuesday.  Thanks to some great play in the outfield (notably from J'sahwn Anderson and Jacob Perdue), Allstate kept up their winning ways by defeating MKA 9-7.

In Tuesday's second game, SPC knocked Hartsville Surgical from the ranks of the unbeaten by the score of 10-6.  Xavion Robinson pitched a masterpiece.  The bats of Tagan Roscoe and Spence Tallon proved to be too much for HSC. 

On Thursday, MKA bounced back from their close game with Allstate to defeat Jiffy Print 11-1. 

Standings after Week 2:

Hartsville Surgical 3-1
Allstate 2-2
SPC 2-2
MKA 2-2
Jiffy Print 1-3

Farm League Update after Week Two

On Monday, April 6th, the first game of the night was the Battle of the Civic Clubs:  Kiwanis vs. Lions.  Coaches Shelley & Johnny Gaymon had their Kiwanis team ready, but they proved to be no match for the Mighty Lions, falling 14-5.  In the nightcap, it was the Sonoco vs. Sonoco Recycling, also known as the DeLoach Cup.  Sonoco Recycling, led by Avery Fulwood, Lan Holloman and Noah McAteer (among others), prevailed over Dave Pulling's crew, 9-7. 

On Tuesday, Palmetto Precision Products took the field a twinbill.  In the first game, PPP, as they're affectionately known around the league, picked up their first win of the season, topping Kiwanis 14-10.  Sonoco Recycling had PPP's number in the nightcap, winning 18-8.

On Thursday, Caleb Walters, Bam Bam Fisher and the Lions showed some heart as they knocked off PPP by a score of 18-7.

After two weeks of play, Sonoco Recycling remains the only undefeated team in all of Hartsville National's leagues.  Steven Wint's club sits atop the Farm League standings at 4-0.  They're followed by the Lions at 3-1 and Sonoco at 2-2.  Kiwanis and Palmetto Precision Products are next, sharing a 1-4 record.
