| Prince effort wasted
as SF blanked again South Fulton failed to score against Trenton for the second straight day, losing a 3-0 baseball decision to Peabody Wednesday afternoon.
The Red Devils, 4-8 overall and each of their losses vs. District 14A competition, wasted a sterling two-hit, 12-strikeout pitching performance by Ryan Prince in Wednesday’s setback. Prince allowed just two hits and one walk, but was charged with his fourth mound loss.
Trenton scored the only run it needed in the second, but tacked on two insurance tallies in the seventh.
Tyler Morris had a double and walked, while Curtis Cathey also reached base twice for the Redmen with a hit and a base on balls. Prince had the only other SF hit, a single.
