The weekend wasn’t so good for the Soddy-Daisy High School baseball team, which entered the Ooltewah Invitational with a seven-game win streak to open the season.

The Trojans plummeted back to earth and entered their District 5-AAA game Monday at Ooltewah on a 0-4 losing skid.

Scoring two runs in each of the first three innings and then leaning heavily on closer Colin Kearney, Soddy-Daisy held on for a 6-5 victory over the Owls to extend their district record to 5-0.

It was Kearney who slammed the door. The junior entered the game with two outs in the bottom of the sixth and promptly struck out the sixth batter of the inning to snuff out an Ooltewah rally. The Owls had scratched across one run that inning off starter and winning pitcher Hunter Maynor and had runners on third and first.

Then in the seventh, after Jackson Malcolm pushed a single through the right side, Kearney struck out the next batter and induced a fly to center — on which Tre Carter came in to make a sliding catch. Catcher Dillon Clift then ended the game by gunning down Malcolm when he tried to swipe second.
