Tuesday was a good day to be outdoors for the Blair Oaks baseball team. “It was good, especially with the weather the way it’s been,” Blair Oaks coach Mike DeMilia said after going 1-1-1 in a Jamboree at Vivion Field. “We haven’t seen a ground ball outside in like a week, we haven’t seen a fly ball in a week. We’ve been hitting in a cage inside.”
Southern Boone senior Hayden Steelman was asked to save the Eagles’ season Thursday night. With the bases loaded with one out in the sixth inning, and with the Eagles clinging to a one-run lead against the Blair Oaks Falcons, it looked like Steelman had the tallest of tasks in front of him. Instead, he made it look like another day at the park.
The Blair Oaks Falcons have shown their pitching depth in Tri-County Conference play this season. It was Jacob Tellman’s turn Tuesday night, as he threw a two-hit shutout to lead the Falcons to an 11-0 victory against the Hallsville Indians at the Falcon Athletic Complex.
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.
