Lexington Christian gets on the board with a crooked number. After a ROE, HBP and a couple of outs, Blair singles in a run. A BB is followed by a 2RBI single from R. Stephens to tie the score.

Where would the starting pitchers in this game line up rotation wise for their teams? I am guessing each team has used their #1 and #2 starters in the first two games.

Ballard Memorial does not score. Ground out to 3rd, K, BB then picked off by the LHP.

If Dima Ballard is not a #1 or #2 that is some scary stuff. Read where he is a UK commit. Ballard Memorial has three or four really good pitchers but no real "ace".

And LCA has scored three off him in 3 innings.

Pitching change for Ballard Memorial. Wildharbor in for Burton. Gives up a ROE, HBP, but a 5U-3 DP followed by a ground out to short gets him out of the inning.

Top of 4th Ballard Memorial gets two hits but a pick off (4th of the game) and a DP erases any threat. Coach Tremayne Donald may need to resort to the stands to find someone to coach 1st base. Or better yet, go over to that coaches box himself. The Paducah Tilghman grad and former minor league player was known to steal several bases in his day.

Dima Ballard pitches for LCA. We should've had him change his name for this game, is a set up for confusion:down:

Lexington Christian gets a couple of singles in between a pair of K's by Wildharbor. Fly out ends the inning.

VOR, being that the LCA / Hancock County game was closer than I expected, maybe LCA held back. Or more likely, the rotation worked out this way. I see where they had a very tough district game against Lafayette prior to the Hancock game. I'm pretty sure Ballard Memorial used their 1 & 2 and will start getting thin because Wildharbor had some innings in both those games.

Ballard Memorial fails to score. Lexington Christian scores on a Willis RBI single in the bottom half.
