Different game, same story for these two schools. This was a close game though. Middlesboro scored one in the top of the 7th to take the lead. Bell County was able to put baserunners on first and second with no outs in the bottom of the 7th but Middlesboro was able to shut them down to end the game.

 

Pittman had a minor injury in batting practice yesterday. While shagging a ball, he got hit in the wrong spot. Therefore, Hoskins went today for the Jackets and pitched through 5 with Hatmaker pitching the final 2 innings to combine for the Middlesboro win.

 

Bell County pitched "Buckeye"?? For some reason I can't quite remember his real name but he pitched a great game. Middlesboro coaches said he did a good job of changing speeds all game with great movement and really limited the Jackets offense most of the game.

 

Great win Jackets!!

 

1-0 in district play!!!:ylsuper:

If I remember correctly his name is Steven Hunter.

 

As far as the series goes, this is one of the more heated in the region. Kind of reminds me of the Corbin/Whitley County or Rockcastle County/Clay County battles.
