Seffner Christian scored in bursts as the Crusaders rallied for a 15-11 win at home Friday afternoon. Garrett Morgan and Addy Scott hit back-to-back homers to give Seffner Christian the lead for good in an eight-run fourth inning. Kris Colondres (five RBI) would strike a few batters later with his second homer of the game (as the Crusaders scored six in the first inning); and Scott also homered early in the game, also doubling while driving in three and scoring three. Ethan Duncan had an RBI double and scored twice. Shorecrest’s Eli Thomas, Beau LeCain, and Jake Diner each had two hits, including a home run apiece in the loss.
The sticks were on fire as the Seffner boys hit 6 home runs, including a 3 run shot of my own, and we got a great team win 15-11 today. @813Preps @BaseballCf @BUncommitted @UncommittedUsa @TampaBSBL #uncommitted pic.twitter.com/caro9J7JYK
