GEORGIA BLUES - Lexington fall again at home to Macon

The Bacon's M.J. Rookard has 1st ever 'cycle' at Lexington County Baseball Stadium

Posted

The struggles against South Division teams from the Peach State at home continued Monday for the Lexington County Pancakes.
The latest loss, 15-5 to the Macon Bacon, came 2 days after another 10-run loss to the Savannah Bananas at Lexington County Baseball Stadium. Not only did the Pancakes fall to 0-6 this season to the two South Division Georgia teams, but also to 4-17 the past 2 seasons in Lexington.
Macon (9-6) jumped out to a 8-0 lead through the first 3 1/2 innings against Lexington County starter Brett Fulk. 
For the second straight game, a pitcher held the Pancakes hitless through the first 3 innings. Ryan Kouba was untouched until the top 4th when Houston Wright sent a fastball 416 feet over the rightfield wall for a solo home run.
Lexington County also got 2 RBI from Josh Senter of River Bluff High School. It was not enough as the Pancakes were outhit 15-7. 
Adding to Lexington County's woes was having the 1st ever cycle take place at the stadium against them. Centerfielder M.J. Rookard out of Middle Georgia State had a single, home run, double and triple in his first 4 at bats.
He reached base two more times on walks and finished with 6 runs scored and 3 RBI. 
The two teams meet against Tuesday in Macon, kicking off a 4-day, 4-game road trip for Lexington County (4-7).
