McCallie started out like, well, a Tornado, but did little more than an offensive sneeze in the final five innings of its high school baseball game Tuesday against visiting Bradley Central.
But the Blue Tornado’s six runs in the first two innings were plenty in a 7-0 victory.
“I liked the start, didn’t like the finish,” McCallie coach Greg Payne said. “A win is a win and we’ll never throw one back.”
Most impressive about their start was the six runs the Blue Tornado put up on Tennessee Tech signee Ty King, who was lifted after the second McCallie turn at the plate.
“We came out swinging the bats really well. The first two innings obviously were key, scoring six of the seven runs,” Payne said.
