ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Sometimes teams need a spark. Sometimes that spark comes from an unexpected place. This week’s WALB Player of the Week was ready when his name was called.

Corbin Suggs came up big for the Baconton Blazers baseball program.

In the comeback win over region foe Seminole County on Wednesday, March 12, the Blazers found themselves down one-nothing in the sixth inning.

After a slow start, Suggs was the spark that got the bats blazing with a shot to right field.

The RBI double put Baconton on the board and was the start of a seven run inning.

Suggs said this win was big because, “this is the biggest team in our region right here, and, basically our rivals ‘cause every year we have to fight to play them.”

Head Coach Dusty Griffis had nothing but good things to say about this player.

Now, he’s been playing a lot this year. We had a senior injury, and so we’ve had to call on him a couple of times to fill that role. He acts like he’s just in there every day. He’s got a lot of grit. He’s got a high baseball IQ. Man, we’re just kinda using him as we can throughout the season, and he’s coming big for us.

In the second game of the two-game series on March 14, Suggs was two for four from the plate with a double. He also scored two runs to help the Blazers reach their eleventh win of the season.

Congrats to Corbin Suggs on being our Player of the Week!
