Saturday Midlothian visited Mills Godwin in a VHSL Region 5C showdown. Midlothian jumped out to an early 2-0 lead courtesy of the top half of the Trojans' order. Godwin came back to make it 2-1 in the bottom half, but Midlothian would never let them pull any closer. In the top of the fifth Midlothian would break it open to a 5-1 lead when Trojans starter Andrew Jones (VMI) hit a three run homerun out of straightaway center. Jones would then shut down the Godwin Eagle offense and throw a complete game, no-hit gem.
Big start for @MidloBaseball as ‘23 @MasonBaseball commit Cole Feldman goes to RCF for a 1 out double.

Leadoff reaches via error and Godwin gets one back, but otherwise a clean inning for Jones.

‘24 Hank Piersol has been strong in relief thus far. Quick pace, spin in any count, and challenges hitters.

Tough luck for ‘23 Cole Powers so far today. The @BaseballGodwin second baseman has barreled up twice to RCF, but it’s been ran down both times.
