Rain washed out the third annual Quality Co-Op Fort Dale Academy Baseball Tournament, but not before FDA right-hander Skylar McKeown made his presence felt.

The Eagles’ ace hurler powered Fort Dale to a 4-0 win against Crenshaw Christian Academy on Friday by no-hitting the Cougars. McKeown also fanned 13 batters.

The performance came just nine days after McKeown struck out 19 Crenshaw Christian batters in a 4-2 win.

“I think we played well. In the first game we pitched well and played good defense,” Fort Dale head coach Josh Beverly said.

Cade Tillery and Brandon Matthews made sure McKeown had all the run support he needed. Tillery was 2-for-2 with an RBI, while Matthews went 2-for-3 at the plate and drove in a run.

“We’re still not hitting the way we would like to,” Beverly said.

With the win, the Eagles advanced to a showdown with Lowndes Academy on Friday afternoon.

The teams battled to a 3-3 tie before rain forced tournament officials to call the game in the eighth inning.

Tillery tossed all eight innings for the Eagles and struck out 12.

“Cade and Skylar are both throwing the ball real well,” Beverly said. “They are both throwing strikes, and when pitchers are throwing strikes it makes playing defense easier and keeps us from giving up big innings.”

James Burkett pounded out two hits for Fort Dale, while Dylan Jones turned in a 1-for-2 performance at the plate and drove in a run.

The game will not be completed, according to Beverly.

Fort Dale played Escambia Academy in Atmore on Tuesday. Results were not available at press time.
