-Gavin Cecchni was once again the star in Barbe’s 8-4 victory over Sam Houston. The 2012 SS singled in the first, then added a opposite field home run and a triple. Cecchini is the 20th ranked player in the class of 2012 and has yet to make a verbal college commitment.
-2B Jared Foster followed Cecchini’s home run with one of his own. Foster is also a touted QB prospect on the football field. Though he did not make his decision on football’s February 2 signing day, he reportedly has offers to play both sports. On the diamond, he is athletic, showing the arm strength that makes him a QB prospect as well as a very solid bat.
-Sam Houston C Evan Powell singled twice in a losing cause. Powell ran a 6.88 60 yard dash, popped a 1.92, and had a catcher velocity of 81 at the 2009 Junior National Showcase.
-Byrd beat Dutchtown 8-2 in the 7 pm game at Dutchtown HS. 2012 RHP Harrison Spruiell picked up the victory. Spruiell, who just started pitching in December, was 83-87 with his fastball. He has loose, whippy arm action and hit a couple of 90s on Thursday night in relief. He is a prospect to watch.
-IF Troy Lewis hit a two-run home run for Dutchtown. The 2012 grad is ranked #236 in the class and 8th in the state.
