Down 3-2 going into the bottom of the 7th, Ohio County rallied to beat the Red Devils of Owensboro. Zach Johnson, senior shortstop/p,pitcher and Brescia University signee, scored Zach Gledhill to tie the game. With Kiah Gledhill, Eagle second baseman and KWC signee at 3rd and one out, Owensboro walked hot-hitting freshman lefty Blaine Gillim. . Gillim stole 2b to eliminate thendouble play possibility. A wild pitch by Owensboro sent Gledhill to home plate with the winning run on an excellent slide just beating the tag.

 

The Eagles are now 10-2 with the most wins in the 3rd Region to date. They will take on Apollo Thursday in Owensboro. Apollo will be looking to rebound from a 2-0 loss to Ohio County in the first week of the season. The Apollo squad has been on a win streak, and Coach Bob Mantooth will certainly have his team prepared to play well at home against a very good Ohio County team.

In the first meeting, Apollo threw there ace Hundley, and Ohio County threw its ace, Jake Griffin. Not sure about Thursday's pitching matchup. Regardless, I expect a well-played fairly low-scoring game. But hey, its high-school baseball....so ya never can tell.
