Yesterday afternoon would have been Carroll County High School versus Martinsville High School in both Junior Varsity and Varsity Baseball, but two things happened instead. The varsity game didn’t take place because the Bulldogs elected not to field a team this season.
.This left Head Coach Casey Burcham with the choice of accepting a forfeit, finding a new opponent, or just playing fewer games for the season. The timing of the announcement made it all but impossible to find a new opponent.
Adam Nester and his Nester Nine were slated to play at Martinsville last night, but that game was turned into part of a doubleheader later on in the season.
The good news for the fans of both teams is that there will be baseball ⚾️ tonight with Northside as the opposition. The Vikings will host the Varsity up in Roanoke while the JV will look to protect The Hill.
