Sandy Creek

and Starr's Mill's baseball teams faced regional

opponents ealrlier this week, and as the kids say, they

put the smack down.

Sandy

Creek, currently 4-1 in the region, faced Mt. Zion,

Jonesboro Monday and won 16-0. It took the Patriots only

four innings to handle the Bulldogs and they started from

the first pitch. Marcus Garrett pitched all four innings

and gave up only three hits.

The

patriots got offense from Rusty Bennett, who hit a three

run home run in the first inning, and Chris Mathis who

produced two RBI.

Sandy Creek

faced Eagle's Landing yesterday and will face Jonesboro

at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Starr's

Mill, 3-2 in the region, had a big win Monday, too. The

Panthers played Woodward Academy and won 15-4. Steve

White pitched four innings, striking out six batters and

giving up only four hits. Brandon rogers was hot at the

plate for Starr's Mill, going four for four with a

homerun and three RBI.

The

Panthers out-hit the War Eagles 13-6 and have been on a

roll since dropping their first two region games. The

Panthers played against Forest Park last night.
