Chattanooga Christian School had only one run through six innings at home against Notre Dame on Monday. Tuesday on Notre Dame’s baseball field, the Chargers had 10 runs after just two times at bat.
CCS went on to win 11-1 in five innings to even the District II-A East District 2 series at one win apiece.
“Their pitcher yesterday beat us with fastballs away,” Chargers coach Ben Wharton said. “We’re on spring break, so we went out early on our field today and set up the pitching machine. We set it up to fastballs away and told the guys to hit the ball to right field.
“It didn’t look pretty in practice. We made it a little harder in practice than in a game. You saw in that first inning, we had three or four hits to right center.”
Amos Davenport smacked the first pitch of the game into right field for a single. Two batters later, John Rhodes was intentionally walked and Colt Sinor followed with a two-run single.
