McCallie, Mirabella Sharp In Win Over Briarcrest
Blues Set To Play Baylor On Wednesday Wednesday, May 26, 2021 - by Joseph Dycus
LEBANON, Tenn. - In the world of high school baseball, most coaches would be pleased if their starter gets through four innings against a quality opponent without imploding. McCallie’s Nic Mirabella went far above and beyond that threshold, dealing six sterling innings and giving up only two earned runs in the Blue Tornadoes 5-2 playoff win over Briarcrest Christian.
“It was nice to have the guys hit the ball early and get a lead like that,” Mirabella said. “It’s a lot easier than pitching from behind or even.”
Baylor Nips McCallie To Complete Three-Game Sweep

The Baylor baseball team proved they can win close games too.
More often than not this spring, the Red Raiders have used an explosive offense to score lots of runs, winning most of their games by 10 runs or more, but that wasn’t the case at Baylor’s Wyatt McMahan Field Wednesday night.
Facing arch-rival McCallie for the third straight day, Baylor completed a sweep of the Blue Tornado, but unlike the first two games where Baylor rolled by scores of 10-0 and 8-2, Wednesday’s game was a classic battle between two really good high school baseball teams.

The Baylor baseball team checked off another significant milestone they’ve achieved this spring as they clinched first place in the Region with Tuesday night’s 8-2 victory over arch-rival McCallie.
It was Baylor’s second-straight victory over the Blue Tornado and it was just a little bit closer than Monday’s 10-0 Red Raider victory at Baylor.
McCallie Strikes Early And Often In Season Opener
Blues Run-Rule Sequatchie Co., 12-2 Tuesday, March 16, 2021 - by James Beach
Baseball seasons are filled with peaks and valleys and the Sequatchie County Indians got an early reminder of that Tuesday night at McCallie.
The Indians came in fresh off a 19-run eruption that included 11 extra base knocks among 18 total hits on Monday against Whitwell in what most would consider a peak sorta game.
McCallie silenced those bats in its season opener, though, as a pair of pitchers limited the visitors to two hits and the Blues pounded out 11 hits in a resounding 12-2 win.
