Womens Adult Baseball League

The Mens Adult Middle Georgia Baseball League has been getting many request to have a womens league. So with the many request we have decided to try it out for one season and see what come of it.  

We will suggest for our first season we are only trying to fill two female teams and  play between five and ten  games and each game is only 7 innings long with 10 players in the field. If you are intrested in playing some Hardball with the your Girl friends now is the time to join. We are looking to have a manager for each team that can play also.

Practices will be indoors at the Georgia Sports Academy where you can rent out the batting cages and pitchers mounds to get ready. most practices will be late in the evening. If you cant make the practices you can special request a hitting or pitching coach to work with you on your skills.

Dolphins Edge Bears In A-Sun Clash

Despite a pair of home runs by senior John Moreland, three errors which led to six unearned runs is what ultimately cost the Mercer baseball team in a 7-6 loss to Jacksonville on Friday evening at Claude Smith Field.

Mercer (22-11, 8-7 A-Sun) now falls to 0-6 in one-run games this season, while Jacksonville (18-12, 8-5 A-Sun) improved to 3-2 in one-run affairs.

The first four innings of the game couldn't have been scripted any better for the Bears, thanks in large part to Moreland. The Marietta, Ga. native stroked a solo home run in the second and crushed a two-run in the fourth to put Mercer out in front by a 6-1 margin.

GED Fees to Increase

More than 1 million Georgians over age 25 don't have a high school diploma or GED.

For adults, getting a GED can be key to landing a job or earning more money. Soon they'll have to pay more to take the test.

This summer, the cost more than doubles, to $50 per test, or $250 for all five. If to you take all five tests on the same day, you'll pay $175.

Percy Hill, who runs GED tests at Central Georgia Technical College in Macon, says many people who go back for the degree don't have a job, or don't earn much, and struggle to pay test fees.

"That's a big jump for people who are living on basic, just basic amounts of money every month," Hill said.

Georgia's technical college system says they had to increase costs because the national company that runs the tests raised fees. The new fees take effect July 1.

Howard Has First Scholarship Athlete

A Howard Husky made history Friday.

Baseball player Joe Fisher inked a deal to go to Abraham Baldwin College.  Fisher is the first scholarship athlete to come out of the school.

The senior picked the ABAC program because of its success in past years, plus coaches told him he could come in right away and have an impact at short stop and second base. 

"Coach Slaughter is a college umpire and every time he goes and umpires for them he's always saying they've got a really good baseball team, they play really good small ball and always beating teams," Fisher said.

Fisher's coach Danny Slaughter says Fisher is a big part of their success at 12-4 this year. "His batting average is over four hundred actually now its close to 500 and has three or four homeruns and is leading the team in doubles, so Joe is a really big part of our program," Slaughter said.

Fisher told us his dream is to play ball professionally for the Atlanta Braves.

Study: 70 Percent Support Macon Smoking Ban

According to a University of Georgia survey, 70 percent of people living in Bibb County say they support banning smoking in public buildings.

On Thursday, members of city council and local health organizations explained their plans to clear the smoke out of Macon.

Councilwoman Nancy White says,"It boils down to being a public safety issue. It's not a ban on smoking. It's not trying to get people to quit or vilify them. It's simply asking them to step outside to light up."

White says she and six other council members sponsored the ordinance to ban smoking in all public buildings including restaurants and bars.

One business owner, says going smoke free comes at a cost.

Co-owner C.J.'s Bar and Grill Chuck Lewis says, "We'll lose a lot of them going to places if it does the county and city separate, probably lose some of those to bars that they can smoke."
