For a team that was put together for just one day, the Tennessee all-star baseball team was firing on all cylinders at the 16th annual Georgia/Tennessee all-star game Monday.
From the pitching staff all the way through the lineup, Tennessee was able to use a solid day on the field to defeat the Georgia all-star team 14-5 in nine innings at Ooltewah High School.
“We just swung the bats really well and played the field really well, I think we only had one error,” Ethan Walls of Ooltewah said. “We did everything that a normal team would do even though we all just got thrown together for one day.”
For Walls, who was recognized as the Player of the Game for Tennessee, getting to play on his home field with his own coaches, Brian Hitchcox and Wes Caldwell, went a long way on a day when he drove in four of Tennessee’s runs.
“I was really happy [to play at Ooltewah] because I thought my last game [with Ooltewah] would be the last one but then I get another opportunity to come out here with my coach and get coached one last game by him,” Walls said after the game.
