They fell to Emanuel County Institute on Tuesday in Twin City, lost to Jeff Davis on Wednesday on the road, and then were in a tournament on Friday and Saturday. On Friday they lost to Social Circle and on Saturday dropped their first game of the day to Harlem, but they came back with a win in the afternoon over Lakeside from Evans. vs. ECI

In the top of the fourth inning, it was three more runs by the Indians as they took a 7-0 lead over Harlem and looked to be in control of this game. But in the bottom of the frame, Harlem plated two runs to close the lead to 7-2, and then added five mor in the fifth inning to tie the game at 7-7.
