Nance leads Coosa

TRION, Ga. – Steve Nance hurled a no-hitter against Trion to pace Coosa to a 5-0 victory Saturday afternoon. Nance came through with eight strikeouts but issued six free passes and hit one batter.

He was just wild enough to keep Trion batters off guard.

Coosa scored three runs in the second inning and then added two more in the seventh to account for the scoring. The Eagles had five hits divided among as many players.

Nance was in control throughout the game, although he did get into trouble one time with the free passes, but he still managed to pull back without allowing a hit or run.

Wyatt Nance, Ronnie Owens, Dwayne Garrett and Rick Hall had the Coosa hits. Coosa now has a 1-1 won-lost chart.
