MONSTERS COMPLETE WEEKEND SWEEP WITH 8-3 WIN

OXFORD, AL - The Choccolocco Monsters completed a two-game sweep of the Brookhaven Bucks with an 8-3 win on Saturday night.

As they did the previous evening, Brookhaven started quickly with a pair of runs in the top of the first inning. But the Monsters would once again fire up the offense and put up two runs in the second and another in the third to take a lead they would never relinquish. Choccolocco added three more in the fifth and a pair of insurance runs in the eighth for the win.

Taylor Harris led the way offensively, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI. Thomas Ballard earned the win with 4.2 innings of one hit ball, allowing one earned run while striking out two and walking one.

Luke Manry took the loss for Brookhaven, going three innings while giving up three runs (two earned), three hits, four walks and four strikeouts.

The Monsters next game is Monday at 7:05 pm ET at the Cartersville Cannons.
