MBA Beats McCallie

MBA got a big win at home on Tuesday against McCallie. MBA's #1 doubles team of George Harwell and Baylor Sai looked very strong as they cruised to an 8-2 victory. The #2 doubles team of John Morphett and Matthew Bulow had trouble finding a rhythm early and found themselves in a hole down 7-1. MBA's #3 doubles team of Frist Allen and Hugh Graham played well but had trouble breaking McCallie early and as a result the team was down 4-3 on serve when MBA's #1 doubles team won its match. The #3 doubles team for MBA made some adjustments and the #2 doubles team started to make some shots and battle back. In the end, MBA found a way to win all three doubles matches to win the doubles point.

MBA won the second set on every single court. With those second set victories, George Harwell and John Morphett got two wins for MBA (6-2, 6-2 for George and 6-4, 6-4 for John).
