A DeKalb County High School Alumni Baseball Game was held Saturday at 9 a.m. at the DeKalb County High School Baseball Field.
DCHS Baseball Coach Jon Kefauver invited former Tiger baseball players to come out and showcase their skills, meet current players and coaches, and prove to former teammates, family, and friends they can still hang with the youngsters.
The field opened for batting practice at 8 a.m., and the alumni team took on some of the younger members of the Tiger baseball squad at 9:30 a.m. The teams fought hard, with the alumni eventually topping the young men 3-2.
Alumni taking part in the game included:
2011 graduate Tyler Caldwell.
2010 graduate Travis Neal.
2015 graduate Ty Curtis.
2005 graduate David Taylor.
2015 graduate Aaron Patterson.
2016 graduate Sam McMillen.
2004 graduate Brandon Cox.
2014 graduate Joe Driver.
2012 graduate Seth Stanley.
2014 graduate Cason Oakley.
2012 graduate Steven Howell.
And the elder statesman of the alumni team, 1992 graduate Mike Atnip.
“We’re having a lot of fun here today,” Kefauver told the Review during the game. “My thanks to everyone who came out to participate. We hope to make this an annual event.”
Both teams, as well as the fans, seemed to enjoy the event. Lunch was served for the participants after the game.
