Veteran Providence Christian coach Casey Smith feels his Eagle team this year is one of the better hitting teams in his 13 years as a head coach.
The Houston Academy Raiders found out the hard way the validity of Smith’s statement on Monday. Smith’s Eagles racked up 16 hits, including five run-scoring safeties, to back a strong pitching performance by Harrison Mims in a 10-1 win over HA at Northcutt Field.
Houston Academy head coach Tony Kirkland said his players have to quickly flush out Monday’s game and head to PCS set to play. Shaky Houston Academy defense helped as the Raiders committed five errors with four runs scoring directly off a mistake. Smith added of Mims, “He doesn’t throw it exceptionally hard. He mixes up his speed and throws a lot of strikes. He just absolutely competes. He did that again today.”
“We are typically a pretty patient team,” Smith said. “Hitting is contagious and it was one of those deals where a couple of people hit the ball hard and got hits and the next guy is ready to go and gets locked in . It was the way it worked out, not really a game plan. They are good hitters and we let them hit.”
