Battle at the Beach: Biloxi vs. Nettleton

Biloxi hosting Nettleton as part of the fifth annual Battle at the Beach.

Indians one of nine different host teams over nine days of baseball.

- as i've came to find out, over- the last year... everyone seems- to have a "last thing i did before covid"... kind of moment i'll never forget mine... as it- pertains to covering- sports... just trying to hold o- to whatever hadn't already- been canceled.- that's where i found myself at- m-g-m park... shooting- highlights of a game between- biloxi and west lauderdale... a- a - part of the fourth annual battl- at the beach.

- now under the pressure of a - deadline... it's a fairly commo- practice, for us sports guys...- to leave in the middle of a - game... once we get enough- highlights to fill a show.....- but not - that night.

- on that friday night... march - 13th, 2020... i stayed... i put- the - camera down... and i stayed.- - - - biloxi shuckers general manager- hunter reed brought me a hot- dog... and i stayed... i stayed- to watch an extra inning... - just one extra inning of- baseball... just six more - outs... - because i didn't know... i- didn't know when the next time- would - be... no one did.

- by the time i came back to work- the following monday... we all- know the rest.- and yet here we are... one year- later... back where i started..- before that last thing i did.

- biloxi hosting nettleton, as a- part of the fifth annual battle- at- the beach... indians one of nin- different host teams... - over nine days of baseball.

- and this was just one of those- games... pitchers denying - hitters - hits... just like covid-19- denied us baseball for so many- months... - - - - patrick galle... tee him up...- and take a sit down... works- around a- walk to strike out three, in th- top of the first... what would- - - the tigers do... with their tur- on the mound?

- well... pretty much the same- thing... except northwest - mississippi community college - signee davis oswalt...- actually strikes out the side..- the game started with seven - consecutive strikeouts... and - there really wasn't anything- going on offensively for a long- time.

- eventually... the indians find - way to plate a run... and that'- all - they would need... to make that- home field advantage... a - true advantage.

- hard to believe it's already on- year later... after a year that- felt like 10... here's biloxi - head coach eddie lofton...- reflecting from then to now.- wxxv your play him on the field again on out here with employers doing the thing that we all often do on from the plans of the community on the strong get back some, sleep on them throughout the past year you were leaking a day late on the saturday year ago on was ou final player and build it back out here on almost field with the guys at dissident means a lot- overall... battle at the beach- is featuring 43 schools... and- 86- games.-
