The March Madness tournament is underway and the Dixie Indians have taken their opponents by storm. The Indians have again gone 4 and 0 in pool play with an impressive defensive front by allowing only 7 runs in 4 games. They've also been a scoring machine in offense with a total of 46 runs. With such impressive stats, the Indians are seeded #3 for Saturday's championship bracket against Taylorsville, the #6 seed.
The tournament started off on Thursday in Mesquite against the Lone Peak Nights. The Indians were on the scoreboard first with 2 runs. Evan was the starting pitcher and pitched the first 3 innings, and backed by strong defense, the Knights were unable to score. Braxton relieved Evan and although throwing hard, the Knights found their bats and battled back with some solid grounders down the third base line. Soon the score was tied at 2. In their final at bat, the Knights drove in another run to go up by 1 run.
The Indians had one more chance to tie or win the game. Evan was the first batter and started the rally by hitting a double. Evan advanced to 3rd on a wild pitch. With a single from Clay, he earned a RBI by hitting Evan in to tie up the game. Justice then had a single, as did Dylan with also a RBI to hit Clay in. The Indians were now up by 1 but continued with their scoring momentum with Braxton walking, a single from Tyler, a single from Gavin (and 2 RBI's), and KJ with another single (and RBI). After adding 6 runs to the scoreboard in the final inning, the game was called due as the game-time expired. The final score was 8 to 3.
