The Pike Patriots closed out their successful 2017 season in fun fashion on Monday night at Montgomery’s Patterson Field.
The Pike Patriots were well represented at Monday’s rain shortened AISA All-Star Baseball Festivities. Reed Jinright and Wood Jinright represented the Patriots on the Junior Team and Hunter Jones and Reece Burbage represented the Patriots on the senior team.
Reed Jinright was the starting pitcher for the Junior America All-Star Team. Reed pitched two complete innings in which he did not allow a hit. He struck out five batters while giving up two walks (one hit batter). Reed Jinright went 2-2 at the plate with one RBI. Wood Jinright sarted the game at third base and went 1-1 at the plate and was hit by a pitch. He also had an RBI. The American squad won the game 9-2 in eight innings of play.
Due to the rain, the senior game was cancelled.
