The Sandy

Creek baseball team traveled to Peachtree City on Friday

night to take on the McIntosh Chiefs and they came out

swinging. Catcher Rusty Bennett drove in 2 RBIs at the

top of the first, but it would not take long for McIntosh

to respond. First baseman Blake Watson hit a 2 run homer

at the bottom of the first to give the Chiefs a 3-2

advantage. Watson would hit a homerun in each of his

three at-bats on Friday night, ultimately driving in four

RBIs.

Sandy Creek

tied the game in the second inning and took a lead in the

top of the third inning, but again Watson hit a homerun

to give McIntosh the lead. Both teams drew blanks in the

fourth inning and in the bottom of the fifth inning

McIntosh began to build a lead. Watson cranked out his

final homerun of the game in the fifth and McIntosh's

Mike Walliser drove in two more runs in the sixth. Sandy

Creek drove in two runs at the top of the seventh, but it

was not enough and McIntosh escaped with the win.
