Piedmont Academy’s Middle School baseball team opened its new season with a convincing 15-0 road win against Nathanael Greene Saturday.

At the plate, Edwards had a homer and two RBI while Mack Brady drove in two runs and scored three more. Tyler Mills also homered and drove in two runs.

“It was a good start to the year,” said coach Dan Funt. “It is always good to be able to get everyone in the game. I hope we play this well in our league games.”

Also contributing in the win were Galloway (1-for-3, one RBI), Talon Anglin (two walks, two runs), Joseph Anderson (1-for-2), Zach Mooney (two RBI, one run). Owen Brady (1-for-3, two RBI, one run), Nick Maynard (one run), Jordan Pace (one run) and Zachary Spivey (one run).
