ABBEVILLE – In the decades of the 2000s and 2010s, the Abbeville Christian Academy Generals won AISA state baseball titles. Now they will go for a title in the 2020s.
With strong pitching in the opening game from Cole Goodson leading to a 10-0 win and a nine-run outburst sparking a 12-5 win in game two, the Generals swept Coosa Valley Academy on Wednesday at the ACA campus to earn the program’s first state championship appearance since 2016.

With 2016 stars Drex Roach and Griffin Fenn in attendance Tuesday, the Generals rode Goodson’s pitching in the opener. The junior fired a three-hit shutout with three strikeouts and no walks. He had a one-hit shutout in the first four innings before running into trouble in the fifth and final inning before ending the threat with a game-ending fly out.
The Generals padded the margin with three runs in the second inning. With one out, Titus McCreight was hit by a pitch before Connor Hutto hit a grounder up the middle right near the second base bag, but the CVA shortstop misplayed the potential inning-end double play ball for an error. After a wild pitch moved runners to second and third, Hutto capped the inning with a two-run single to bring home courtesy runner Jaxson Henrich and McCreight for a 10-0 lead.
Sumlar was hit by a pitch and Quincy reached on catcher’s interference to start the inning. Brandon Early laid down a bunt single. A throw behind the runner at third was wild and Sumlar came in to score. Goodson then earned a sac fly to right to score Henrich, a courtesy runner, and a throw from the outfield went over the fence to allow Early to score. The two runs gave ACA a 3-2 lead.
