June 3 at East Cobb Baseball Complex in Marietta, GA
The Knoxville-based Highlanders were no match for Anthony Nettles as the MGB starter tossed four perfect innings in a 5-1 victory in the opener of the 18-under division of the wood bat East Cobb Invitational.
Nettles, a rising senior at Morrow High School (Morrow, GA), struck out six, including the side in the second. Rafiel Cabral added a dominant inning of his own, striking out the side in the fifth and tossing all 11 of his pitches for strikes.
MGB scored twice in the first, then tacked on two in the fourth - one when Alabama State signee Eriq White was hit by a pitch, moved to second on a wild pitch, stole third and scored on a passed ball.
The Highlanders finally broke up the perfect game when Trevor Whitley singled to open the sixth against southpaw J.T. Thomas. Andrew Slyvester’s bloop single in the bottom of the seventh snapped MGB’s shut out bid.
