Rams' Roar: Greene Central Triumphs in 10-2 Blitz Against Washington
SNOW HILL, NC — Dominating both offensively and defensively, the #8 ranked Greene Central Rams charged to a decisive 10-2 victory over Washington, a testament to their collective strength and strategic execution.
Offensive Highlights
Braden Burress led the charge with two hits and two RBIs, including a pivotal home run that energized the team. Burress’s impressive total bases, paired with key hits from Easton Creech and Noah Uzzell, who both scored and drove in runs, exemplified the Rams' deep batting lineup. Will Radford's consistent performance added two hits to the Rams’ offensive tally, reinforcing the team’s scoring opportunities.
Reflecting on the moment that drew everyone's eyes, Riley Radford remarked, "I wasn't looking at the home run. I was looking to go backside to score a run, but I will take it." His unexpected grand slam was a highlight, showing that even when aiming for the basics, the Rams are capable of delivering spectacular results
Pitching and Defensive Standouts
On the mound, Austin Hardy's resilience shone through despite personal reservations about his performance. “I didn't have my best stuff today. I wasn't really happy with some of my results, but I trusted my defense to make the plays behind me, and they did,” said Hardy. His efforts were backed by a flawless defensive display, as the Rams kept their cool, maintaining focus without a single error throughout the game
Looking to the Next Challenge
With an impressive offensive strategy that led to 13 hits and patience at the plate resulting in eight walks, the Rams capitalized on every chance they got. The agility of Elijah Monroe and Jordan Scott was on display as well, each recording a stolen base, adding to the Rams' dynamic approach.
The Greene Central Rams now look toward their rematch with Washington this Friday at 7 PM.
