“We played Friday in Preston against Eufaula. We lost the first game 4-3 after leading 3-0 going into the bottom of the 7th. Second game we lost 11-4. We should have won that one as well but made two errors in the 6th that cost us that one. After the first game the Eufaula coach asked me: “how did y’all only win 3 games? You are a better team than we were expecting!”
