Baylor defeated McCallie in tennis Thursday in what was almost a carbon copy of a match they played earlier this season.
The Red Raiders won the TSSAA East/Middle Region match at McCallie 6-1, following up on a 7-0 victory in the teams’ previous meeting.
The similarities begin with there being an abundant amount of matchups both times that were close but went Baylor’s way. Two of the Red Raiders’ singles victories Thursday went three sets, and the Nos. 1 and 2 doubles matches ended 8-5 and 8-6.
“Every player that got a point, it could’ve gone the other way,” Baylor assistant coach Ned Caswell said. “We got enough to win today. That’s a good day. Tomorrow could’ve been a different story.”
Alec Kadrie, Cooper Long, Brandon Kali, Ethan Palisoc and Ryan Toomey were singles winners for head coach Phillip Johnson’s Red Raiders (6-4, 1-0).
