“It really was a pleasure to coach these kids,” Morgan City coach Chad Miller said this morning. “They worked hard. They gave it their all. I felt that they became better baseball players from where we started to where they are now.”
Miller said his team played as a team, which was the team’s goal.
Bryson Dupuy earned the win in relief. In four innings, he surrendered two earned runs on five hits with two walks and fanned two.
Dylan Duval started the game for Morgan City and in two innings, he surrendered two unearned runs on one hit with one walk and fanned two.
