#TCCBaseball: Stobert, Reitz pitch Eagles to sweep

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (March 22, 2018) – Behind the pitching of Alex Stobert and Brandon Reitz, Tallahassee Community College swept Thursday's doubleheader against the Thomas University JV, winning 6-1 and 13-3. 

Tallahassee is now 23-12 and will play its final non-conference games of the season at 2 p.m. Friday when it hosts LaFleche College (Canada) for a doubleheader.
