Maize varsity baseball sweeps Derby Tuesday night

The baseball team won in a doubleheader against Derby last Tuesday. The Eagles won the first game 6-3. The second game was a close win for Maize, ending with the score 6-5. 

In both games there was one major inning. In the first game junior Hunter LaMunyon hit a double starting a rally and putting the Eagles ahead. The second game, senior Jake Karst hit a double with the same effect.

“I believe we’ve beat them in the past, but I don’t know if we’ve swept them at home before like that so that was a nice win,” junior John Short said.

Short said his mentality during the game was to attack, get ahead early and try to take control of the game. 

The Eagles plays again Friday against Campus at 6:00.
