Whereas, sweeping Cardinal Newman in the best of three series, the Swampcats closed out their second consecutive SCISA 3A state championship; and
Whereas, in game two, LMA starting pitcher Andrew Boyd pitched a completegame shutout, leading the Swampcats to a 30 victory and finishing the season with a 224 record; and
Whereas, the Swampcats started the game off on the right foot with leadoff batter Cole Hair reaching base on an error. He was moved to second by Buddy Bleasdale’s oneout single, and put LMA on the board by scoring on Ryan Touchberry’s twoout single; and
Whereas, in the sixth inning, Laurence Manning added two more runs. Pinchhitter Ricky Nettle’s RBI single scored Morgan Morris. Subsequently, Dawson Hatfield was able to score on Cole Hair’s sacrifice fly; and
Whereas, Cardinal Newman launched nine fly balls into the outfield, all safely fielded by Morris, Hair, and Ryan, effectively shutting down the Cardinals; and
Whereas, Head Coach Barry Hatfield was impressed with what his team was able to accomplish, stating, “We had some great seniors, great leadership, and we had a sophomore kid pitch his heart out. It’s all about them”; and
Whereas, capitalizing on his own experience and talents, Coach Hatfield was able to lead his boys to victory and teach them important lessons that will live with them both on and off the field; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the prestige and respect that the Laurence Manning baseball players have brought to their school and community and look forward to hearing of their continued achievements in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
