Thanks to these players for a great season and good luck in the future.

Central made the return trip on Apr 28th in a very entertaining and competitive contest. Jake Reeves pitched a whale of a game going 7 innings and giving up all 4 earned runs on 7 hits. With the score tied 2-2 in the top of the 7th inning, Central broke thru on a two out rally. Final Central 4 Macon 2. Jacob Brown went 2 for 3 and Kristopher Boone went 1 for 3 and scored a run.
