Gulf Coast Sweeps Season Opener

PANAMA CITY - Major League Baseball pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training as early as Valentine’s Day, while opening day is on April Fools’ Day.

Junior Colleges work a little differently.  Gulf Coast (#12) set out to defend it’s Co-Panhandle Conference Title on Saturday against Young Harris (#15) in a double-header.

The Commodores continued last year’s success winning both games.  They won game one 9-5.  Pitcher Bryam Garcia picked up the win in relief. 

Gulf Coast won game two, but it wasn’t as easy.  The teams were scheduled to play 7 innings, instead it was settled in 10.  Cory Trudell got the game-winning base hit in the bottom of the tenth.  Former Mosley pitcher Kyle Mitchell recorded the win out of the bullpen.

Firstbaseman Cody Chizmar went 5-for-7 on the day.

The Commodores play again on Sunday against Young Harris.  First pitch scheduled for 12 p.m.
