It’s been a strong start to the season for Cyprus and first year head coach Alex Aldana. Prior to Wednesday’s game with Murray, the Pirates won their first two region games and held an 8-2 region record.
When the undefeated Spartans came to Magna to play, Cyprus held them off and earned a dominant 10-0 victory to stay perfect in Region 4 play. Aldana stressed that this year’s early success is a product of work in years past.
“I mean, people will see the score for today, but not a lot of people see what they’ve been working so hard for the last year. They worked so hard last year. To come up here and then be fighting, I’m so proud of those boys they’ve been fighters.”
The game started slow with neither team earning a run in the first inning, but everything changed when the Pirates took the bat in the bottom of the second. Batter after batter got on base, and quickly it snowballed into a six-run inning for Cyprus.
