The Caps fall to Holly Springs 11-4. Coach Jones continues to shake up the lineup looking for the magical combination. With 3 games and conference play starting this week pitching is at a premium. A young staff with little varsity experience has proved to be a steep learning curve. The inability to close out innings and recover from mistakes has resulted in a 0-4 start. The offense scored 4 runs but also left 7 men on base in scoring position. The offense will need to capitalize on these opportunities as they start conference play today. Dom Ford continues to shine as he moves to the leadoff position going 2-4(2B), The Caps also got good offensive proformances from Austin Walker 2-4(2B) and Braden Williamson 1-3(3RBIs)
