The American Legion Post 19 Independence Day Classic will get underway Thursday at several locations in Maury County and the 19U seniors got a little action in Monday night at Columbia State vs the Clarksville Orioles as 19 gears up for the Classic.
Mondays action was a slug-fest as the hosts took the win 13-10 to improve their record to 8-4-1. Clarksville took an early lead in their first at bat 2-0 on a 2-run bases loaded double by Madison Murphy. Post 19 came back to answer in their half of the inning sending 8 batters to the plate. Jaylen Smith starts it with an infield hit. Cole Flatt walks, followed by a HBP to Will McCall. With one out Andy Hall works the 2nd walk of the inning scoring Smith (2-1). Columbia took the lead on a perfectly placed grounder off the bat of Dillan Saunders that made it just inside the bag at third scoring Flatt and McCall giving Post 19 a 3-2 lead they would not relinquish. They would hold off a pesky Orioles team pounding out 12 hits producing 13 runs in the game.
Cole Flatt was 3 for 4 in the game with 2 runs and 2 RBI. Dillan Saunders 2 for 5 with 3 RBI and Jackson Cook went 2 for 3 with 3 RBI and 1 run scored. Now both Columbia Post 19 teams will turn their attention to the Post 19 Independence Day Classic.
