S.C. college baseball recap, Tuesday, Feb. 24

State scoreboard, Tuesday, Feb. 24: Denmark Tech gets 1st win since 2004

its first baseball win since 2004. (Denmark Tech photo) 

Denmark Tech won its first baseball game since 2004 when it beat Community Christian, 12-4,  in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday in Snellville, Ga. The school dropped baseball after that season, but reinstalled it prior to this season after a 12-year hiatus.

Panther coach Isaac Wilson III said the Panthers (1-7) were in line to win the opener before some late mistakes cost them and they fell, 9-8.

"I'm proud of these young men," Wilson told Palmetto State Baseball via text. "We have the first win in the books, but what excites me most is the growth.

"We’ve been battle-tested early, took some tough losses, learned from late-inning mistakes and tonight you saw the progress pay off."

Kassey Caputo struck out seven in five innings to get the win. Tyler Jones had three hits, while Quadrequis Graves, Isaiah Redfearn and Isaiah Vega had two hits apiece.

 

"This wasn’t just about 12 runs," Wilson said. "It was about discipline, energy, and believing in what we’re building at Denmark Tech. The standard is rising. The culture is forming. And we’re nowhere near our ceiling.

"We've got one in the win column - and just getting started."
