Morgan Academy beats Edgewood in series’ first game

The Morgan Academy Varsity Senators defeated the Edgewood Academy Varsity Wildcats 8-3 on Tuesday, April 8.

The Senators took a 6-3 in the bottom of the second after Speedie Pernell singled, scoring one, Cade Henderson tripled, scoring two, and Barron Frazer singled, scoring one. And in the bottom of the fourth, Henderson hit a solo home run.

Frazer took the hill first for the Senators, giving up six hits and three runs (zero earned) in seven innings, striking out eight and walking two. 

Henderson led the Senators with three runs batted in. And Henderson and Trevor White each collected two hits.

Morgan Academy head baseball coach Paul Thomas he was proud of the way Frazer rebounded from his last outing against Patrician calling him “very competitive on the mound” and that he “kind of put the team on his back.”

Thomas said he was pleased with the way the Senators swung the bat. And he said winning the first game of a three-game series was big and gives them an opportunity to potentially finish second in the region.
