It’s certainly been a disheartening season so far for Reeltown’s baseball team.
The closest the Rebels have gotten to a victory was a 10-4 start against Alabama Christian in the season opener. Since then, they’ve had three straight losses that all came via run-shortened games and they just dropped a pair to rivals Tallassee and Dadeville this weekend.
