The Capital City Cavaliers entered the Jays Baseball Classic with two wins. They left with three more and a second-place trophy. “If you had told me coming in that we’d place second, I’d be pretty happy,” Capital City coach Brett Skinner said.
Capital City’s offense could not be stopped Friday. After scoring 12 runs Thursday, the Cavaliers put up a 21-5 win against the Rolla Bulldogs and a 5-3 win Friday against the St. Charles West Warriors at Capital City High School.
Capital City coach Brett Skinner couldn’t ask for a better birthday gift.
Skinner’s Cavaliers opened pool play in the Jays Baseball Classic with a 12-1 win Thursday against the Troy-Buchanan Trojans at Capital City High School. It was the first time this season the Cavaliers have scored more than four runs.
The losing streak is over. After 14 games and more than a month, the Jefferson City Jays walked away with a win Wednesday, beating the Capital City Cavaliers 9-6 in Central Missouri Activities Conference action at Vivion Field.
The Cavaliers kept adding on. Capital City scored multiple runs in each of the final four innings Monday to beat the Blair Oaks Falcons 10-3 at Capital City High School. The win marks the fifth in a row for the Cavaliers, while ending a three-game winning streak for the Falcons, who have now won five of their last seven games.
