LIBERTY – The Enterprise Jackets captured two wins over the Amite County Trojans in a varsity doubleheader Monday night in Region 7-2A baseball action.

The Jackets crushed the Trojans 16-1 in Game One and 17-2 in Game Two.

“I am glad to start our division action 2-0,” said Enterprise coach Cass Brister. “Our pitching and hitting looked really good today, but we need to clean up some things defensively. We have some time to prepare for our next game and we must focus on continuing to be a better team.”

The Jackets (4-2, 2-0) will take a few days off before returning to action Saturday as they travel to take on the Bogue Chitto Bobcats. Junior varsity action begins 11 a.m., followed by the varsity game at 1 p.m.

Hunter Richardson powered the Jackets at the plate with a double and a single. Marvin Butler and Gartman contributed a pair of singles each. Tanner Waldrop, Cade Cangemi and Austin Fugler hit a double apiece.
