The 3rd region Ohio Co Eagles improved to 15-8 over a battling Marshall Co team at Bill Leach Field in Hartford, Ky. Jake Griffin was nearly perfect for Ohio Co until the 7th for Ohio County which led 6-0 going into the final inning. But with two outs, Marshall County rallied against Ohio Co relief pitching to tie the score.

 

Zach Johnson entered the game for Ohio Co in the 8th inning and battled with Marshall County's excellent relief until the bottom of the 11th. Zach Gledhill, freshman right-fielder, scored from 2nd base on an infield ground ball and throwing error that sent the winning run across the plate for the Eagles.

 

Ohio Co, who has already clinched a first round bye in the District tournament and a guaranteed birth to the Regional, will be preparing for tournament play in these final games of the season. It should be an exciting postseason in the 3rd Region with some excellent pitching during the tournament. We will see how it goes....

Nice recap, sounds like Ohio County has a solid ball team.

Thanks....they are pretty good, and with some late season improvement, they should make a run at the 3rd Region. Always a tough road to get deep in the tournament as you know.
