Sage Hill suffers first setback, 12-6

The Sage Hill School baseball team allowed eight runs in the first

inning and could not rally back, falling, 12-6, to nonleague visitor

Army Navy Academy Thursday.

Sage Hill sophomore Matt Loper went 2 for 4 and earned two RBIs,

while senior Zack Friedrichs smacked a double and contributed one RBI

and one run scored.

Sophomore David Packard gave the Lightning some needed relief with

5 1/3 innings of work, allowing Sage Hill to prepare its starters for

league action, which starts today.

Sage Hill (1-1-1) will face host Whitney at 3:15 p.m. to open

Academy League play. Army Navy Academy improved to 4-0.
