Whitley County 5 Middlesboro 4

Great Game to watch.

Whitley leads thoughout the game but Middlesboro comes back in the top of the 7th and takes the 4-3 lead. Whiltey gets the lead off on with an error by the Jacket SS, gets the runner in a rundown off a pickoff throw but the Jackets blow the easy out by throwing the ball away. Whitley ends up loading the bases off a walk and a hit batter and the third baseman hits a ball back up the middle shading the SS and Whitley scores two runs for the win.

Looks like Middlesboro has now fallen off the map.

I wouldn't say they've fallen off the map. I mean they still have the best record within the 13th region, what does that say about everyone else?

I think this just means that the region no longer has a favorite. If Middlesboro can't recover with Bill Powell as they're coach, they never had a chance in the first place.
