SFCS Crusaders Win On Senior Night…End Season With Three Straight Wins!

                 May 12, 2008 - The Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS) Varsity Baseball team played their final home game of the season on Monday, May 5, against CAA rival Spartanburg Day. The Crusaders scored at least one run in every inning in route to a 14-4 victory over the Griffins. After getting down 2-0, SFCS struck for 3 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning to take a lead they would never lose. The Crusaders added 2 more runs in the 2nd inning to extend their lead to 3 runs. After the Griffins scored a run in the top of the 3rd, SFCS made sure there would be no comeback. Briggs Schoen and Jason Johnson had RBI doubles to fuel the inning. Matt Hill put the game out of reach in the 5th inning with a 2-RBI double to give the Crusaders some insurance runs. Wade Wyatt, Jack Murphy, and Johnson added RBIs in the 6th inning to give SFCS the convincing 10-run victory. Johnson pitched 3 1/3 innings to pick up his third win of the season. Wyatt pitched the final 2 1/3 innings to pick up his first save of the season. Johnson, Wyatt, Hill, and Garret Conover had 2 hits apiece to pace the Crusaders at the plate. The Crusaders ended the season winning their final 3 games, all CAA contests. SFCS finished 8-8 overall and 6-6 in the CAA Conference. The young Crusaders will lose only 3 seniors this year, and look to build on the experience from this years squad for next year and the years to come.
              The Crusaders came up just short of making post-season play this season. Twelve teams are selected to the NCISAA 2-A Championships and SFCS came in at number thirteen. “This does not take away from the hard work and effort put in by the players,” commented SFCS Head Coach Stuart Kay. “Seniors Jack Murphy, Roderic Maybin, and Jeff Heiser will be missed, and their contribution to this team during their years will never be forgotten.”

              Congratulations goes to Wade Wyatt and Jason Johnson! Both of these young men earned All-Conference honors for their play this season as voted on by the coaches of the CAA!
