The ride that the Northside-Warner Robins Eagles took to get to Douglas for their game against the Coffee Trojans at Charles Wilson Field Tuesday may have taken longer than the actual game itself. Coffee defeated Northside 15-1 in four and a half innings after a 12-run fourth inning capped by a Hunter Klesko no-doubt grand slam to right. It was the Trojans’ second home run of the inning; Barrett Harrell hit a two-run shot earlier in the frame. Northside jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second. The Eagles’ advantage lasted just an inning; the Trojans jumped out in…

The Coffee Trojans were running out of time on Wednesday night. After taking a 6-3 lead in the first inning against the Fitzgerald Purple Hurricanes, the ‘Canes battled back with two in the third and two in the fifth while keeping the Trojans off the board.
