The first day of Spring past the other week and though it can still be chilly and snow in some parts of the country, according the Earth’s rotation it is spring. A new season has started and also has done so in sports. Spring sports are on their way. It is really early for any games too be too anticipated, still the teams are playing. Last week Tabb baseball met conference foe Lake Taylor.

It can be confusing between knowing the difference of a conference and district. Tabb, York, and everyone else play each other in the same district. Then when the playoffs come not everyone plays one another because they are categorized in a different conference by the state based on school population size. Lake Taylor is a team Tabb could possibly play in the postseason, if either favor well enough this season.

If this was a playoff preview, the Tigers are going to be doing pretty well this season. Tabb crushed their competition. Lake Taylor did get one run in, but that was it. In the first inning Tabb brought home three runs, then six in the second, five in the third, and one in the fourth. Tabb pitcher Brandon Marello delivering nine strikeouts in four innings.

Lake Taylor never got another run in. When it was 15-1 after the fifth inning the game was called in accordance of the mercy rule; teams can only score so many points, when it is unreachable to be beat the game is called. In the end Tabb won the game. Besides Brandon Marello’s smokin’ performance Zachery Coldsnow went 3-3 with an RBI and Carter Wood went 2-2 with an RBI.

This is only one game, but this is a good start. There is one more week of play before spring break, so go out to catch a ball game this week, no one is going to be around the week after! It’s a well deserved break!
