Milton beats Roswell 11-9 in high school baseball

The visiting Milton Eagle baseball team jumped out to an early 1-0 lead over the Roswell Hornets on Dalton Ewing's first inning solo home run.

Roswell came back to tie the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the third inning when Hornet second baseman Andrew Chester scored on a wild pitch.

A two-run homer to center in the top of the fourth by Eagle right fielder Mike Martin gave the lead back to Milton, but Roswell came back with three runs in the fifth inning to go up 4-3.

From that point, momentum appeared to have shifted permanently to the Eagles when they scored four runs in each of the sixth and seventh innings. 

Roswell came to their last at bat in the bottom of the seventh down seven runs to Milton, 11-4. That's when momentum, at least temporarily, appeared to be shifting back into the Hornets' favor. Milton allowed Roswell to score five runs, closing to within two, before finally picking up the third out of the inning and securing the 11-9 win.

The loss puts Roswell at 7-7 for the season and 2-2 in Region 6AAAAA.  Milton moves to 11-4 overall and 2-1 in the region.
