At least that has been the case in games played at the Hanahan Recreation Complex, the interim main site of the venerable spring-break affair. The cozy, one-time softball yard yielded 12 more circuit shots on Friday night as Stratford and James Island advanced to today's 2 p.m. championship game. And, nobody had more fun than Stratford's Sean Hunt. I was just going up there to take good swings.
Home runs happen here, that's all.
In all, the two teams combined for nine home runs. Tyler Midgett and Brian Moore had the other Stratford homers. You can't afford walks and errors here, because they can turn into runs real fast. It's been different, that's for sure. Junior left-hander Josh Cochran gave up 15 hits, including four home runs, but went the distance to pick up the win for Stratford.
