Macon East Baseball Sweeps Patrician for AA State Championship

The Macon East varsity baseball team swept Patrician at the AISA AA state tournament at Paterson Field to bring home the championship trophy. The Knights went 35-5 for the season. The stands at Paterson Field were filled with Macon East fans cheering them on, Coach Pickett and his team shut out the Saints in game one 9-0 and won the second game 9-1. This was the Knights’ first state championship in baseball since winning back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018. Junior Matthew Kitchens pitched lights out for the Knights. He improved to 10-0 and lowered his earned run average to 0.46 in the dual appearances at the state championship games. He has allowed just four earned runs this season while walking five and striking out 73. Selected for the All-tournament team were Matthew Kitchens, Bryant Rascoll, Dalton Nickles and Jabe Boroff.
Representing Macon East in the AISA All-Star game on June 6, is senior Luke Noffsinger. Jabe Boroff and Matthew Kitchens will play in the junior All-Star game on the same day at Paterson Field. The junior All-Star game is scheduled at 4:00 pm followed by the senior game. Go Knights!
