3/15/23: Fannin vs North Murray recap

Sophomore Gavin Davis toed the rubber for the Rebels in last Wednesday’s home bout vs North Murray. Davis’ time spent on the mound was almost picture-perfect, as he gave up one earned run on four hits over five innings. Davis had the fastball working for him as he struck out seven and walked only one on his way to getting the victory.

At the plate, Senior Connor Martin led the way for the Rebels as he went 2-4 on the evening with 2 doubles and an RBI. Fannin got things started early in the first inning when Bryce Burnette scored the first run of the game on a passed ball.

The Rebels took the lead for good in the fourth inning, thanks to an HBP with the bases loaded, a bases-loaded error, a sac fly, and a Connor Martin RBI double.

Fannin will take the field tonight in Pickens County for a non-region matchup with the Dragons, before going on the road to Murray County on Wednesday to get back into Region 7AA play.
