nice way to start

D.J. Davis went 1-for-3 and Anthony Alford 1-for-4 in their pro debut today in the Gulf Coast League. Stone County’s Davis, the first Mississippian picked in this year’s draft, played left field and hit leadoff for Toronto’s rookie club, while Petal’s Alford, the state’s Mr. Baseball and a third-round selection, played center and batted second. The GCL Blue Jays lost to the Pirates 13-3.
