Double header at Tantasqua:
First Game: Drury 6-2 over Monson:
Absolutely stellar performance by senior Tyler Cote. Showed why he is one of the great leaders of this program. Timely hitting and solid overall defense guided us to a hard fought victory today.
Second Game: Drury 7-6 victory over Tantasqua: Tough battle all the way through. Gritty performance by Senior captain Tyler Briggs. Tired a bit and was relieved by Jake Tatro and Schuyler Robinson. Both had admirable performances especially Schuylar who gutted out 3 tough innings of shutout ball. Walkoff single by Freshman Thaylan Harrison that plated Jake Tatro in the bottom of the ninth. Thaylon really graduated to the next level today. Had a tough two strike count battled through and did not try to do to much with the pitch and lifted it into left center for the game winner. It is a credit to him to accept the role that we asked him to play today and in the future and it paid off for us because of his and others willingness to do what needs to be done for the betterment of the program.
Overall a great day for Drury Baseball, to go down there and walk away with two nice wins brings our confidence back and makes us continue to believe in what we are doing. I am very proud of these young men however we will only enjoy this for a short period of time and get back to work to go forward.
