Pendleton beats District Rival Nicholas County for the second time this year. Junior Tyler Daugherty scattered 7 hits over 5 innings pitched to pick up the win for Pendleton, and Dalton Pope took the loss for Nicholas. Dustin Wanner had a bases-clearing double in the 5th inning to put Pendleton in front. Brent Jacob had three hits and 2 RBI.

 

These two will likely play again in the first round of 38th District Tournament for the 7th consecutive year.

Congrats to Pendleton on the win and on improving their record to 12-8 on the season.

Hopefully this can finally be the year that Pendleton County breaks the Nicholas County curse and makes it to the 10th Regional Tournament. Nicholas County has knocked them out in the first round the last 5 years, the last 4 by an average of 2 runs.

Both teams have held back their best pitchers for their match-up in the District. It should be another good one.
