Rome, Ga.- The Fannin County Rebels (3-6, 0-1) took on the Model Blue Devils (7-2, 1-0) in the first game for both teams in Region 7AA play this year.

The Rebels found themselves in a hole early and were never able to dig themselves out of it, falling 3-0.

J. Land for the Model Blue Devils doubled in the bottom of the first, driving in D. Swinger and making it 1-0.

Hughes toed the rubber for the Rebels, pitching 6 innings and allowing just 1 earned run on four hits, while striking out 3 and walking 6.

Edwards was on the mound for the Model Blue Devils and he was nothing short of perfection, pitching a complete game, no hit-shutout, while striking out 12 and walking 4 Fannin batters.

The Rebels will take the field again this week on Wednesday against Model for the second game of the series.
