The baseball team's 2021 season has come to an end.
The baseball Rams season came to a close on in Chattanooga on Saturday afternoon at the end of a 3 game series with Silverdale Baptist Academy.
Game 1: The Rams gave up 3 unearned runs and fell by a score of 1-3.
Game 2: The Rams offense exploded and the Rams won 9-1. Alex Blackburn and Blake Courson combined for the win on the mound. Offensively, Riley King had two doubles while Blackburn and Ian Setzer record one double each. Blackburn has 3 RBIs while Setzer and Eli Crowder each had 2 RBIs.
Game 3: Rams fell 3-7. The offense showed life late in the game scoring 2 runs in the 6th inning and 1 run in the 7th inning, but the early deficit was too much to overcome.
The Rams finished the season 9-19-1.

The Rams win to advance in the post-season.
The Rams travelled to Lakeway Christian Academy to take on the Lions in a district play-in game. After splitting the series with LCA during the regular season, the Rams secured a 7-0 victory. This win gave them the 4 seed in the district which earns them a trip to the region tournament.
The Rams will take on Silverdale Baptist Academy in a doubleheader in Chattanooga on Friday, May 7 in a best of 3 series. If Game 3 is necessary, they will play on Saturday.
