Undefeated Ohio County went on the road today to take on powerhouse North Bullitt. Ohio County led 2-0 going into the home half of the fourth inning behind freshman phenom Blaine Gillim"s dominating performance. Gillim allowed only one hitter to reach base through three innings, but in the fourth inning showed signs of struggling Gillim battled through the inning giving up one unearned run on a defensive miscue. In the 5th, Gillim tired and had control issues and a another defensive error loaded the bases. After walking in a run, Gillim finally got some relief help. But it was too little too late as North Bullitt added three more runs off reliever Andrew Dorris. Down 5-2, Ohio County's bats were shut down by excellent North Bullitt pitching the rest of the way.

North Bullitt is loaded with left-handed hitters and seven deep on tough outs at the plate. I expect they will have an extremely productive season as they did in 2014. It was a good opponent for this Ohio County team who is poised for a 3rd region run this year. It definitely showed how good Ohio County can be against a top team....just gotta make some adjustments on defense, base running, and relief pitching as they move forward.
