New Cizzlers squad split pair By Don Beane GREENSBORO – The Palomino baseball era in Chatham County officially began on Saturday afternoon at Stoner White Stadium in Greensboro as the Chatham County Cizzlers opened its inaugural season with a 10-5 victory over the Diamondbacks.Chatham County wasn’t as fortunate on Sunday dropping a 9-4 decision to Guilford. The 1-1 start is nothing to scoff at, however, especially for a team breaking new ground in new territory. In the win over the Diamondbacks, Cole Hudson went 3-for-4 with a walk to spark a Cizzler offense that plated four runs in bottom of the first to answer a pair of early Diamondback runs. Hudson and Eric Marion each singled to open bottom of the first before Derek Hurt slammed a two-run single to tie the game at 2-2. Mark Phillips and Spencer Andrews completed the CC uprising with consecutive RBI-singles. The Diamondbacks, made up of players from Grimsley, Southeast Guilford, and Southern Guilford High Schools, had taken a 2-0 lead in the top of the first when Zach Apple unloaded on a fastball from Cizzler starter Seth Kivett for a two-run dinger.
