End of the 3rd Still 2-1, Redhounds.

Middle of the 3rd Corbin 2 O-Cath 1 Elam singled in a run before the Aces induced a double play from the next batter to get out of the inning.

Game 7 Top of the 3rd Corbin 1 O-Cath 1 The Hounds have runners at the corners, one out, and Kade Elam at the plate.

The aforementioned coach and today's ace....

An exciting finish, but an awful way to bow out for West Jess.

We've seen some great pitching so far in Lexington. McCracken's Miller Green was in command today, throwing a complete game with three hits allowed and 13 Ks. We likely haven't seen the last of dominant pitching by the Mustangs, as Green is just one of several great arms at coach Zach Hobbs' disposal.

I'm projecting quite a bit here, but Ryle is looking good for a run to the finals. The bracket is in their favor and they're playing as well as anyone in the state, save for maybe top ranked Trinity.

After Eppley departed the game in the 2nd, McIntyre and Mann combined for 6.2 innings of work, allowing just two hits. Like @16thBBall Fan said, East had its chance, there were base runners, just no runs. This is still a season for the memory bank in Grayson. Most had Boyd County penciled in as 16th Region champion, but the Raiders had other plans. Congrats on a great season.

Scott grounds out to end the game. Ryle wins, 4-2.

Bottom of the 8th Tying run is at bat with a runner on 1st. Tate Scott comes to the plate with East's season on the line. He's a .465 hitter. Still 4-2, Ryle.

Tomolonis had given East all they could hope for today. Eight innings may have been one too many.

Extra innings at Legends Field. Top of the 8th East Carter 2 Ryle 2

Middle of the 6th East Carter 2 Ryle 2 Ryle tied the game on what may have been a double steal in the top half of the inning. Not 100% certain there. Either way, Noah Crist stole home to knot this one up.

Middle of the 4th Still 2-1, East. Ryle went down in order in the top half of the inning.

Game 5 End of the 3rd East Carter 2 Ryle 1 The Raiders lead on a two rbi single from Tate Scott. Dylan McIntyre took the mound for Ryle in relief of Sam Eppley in the 2nd inning.
