On senior day, Ohio Co pummelled Webster Co 14-5 in Hartford, Ky at Bill Leach Field. Led by senior pitcher, Andrew Dorris, the Eagles left no doubt in this one. Dorris worked 3.2 innings andd picked up the win for the hot Ohio County Eagless (17-9).

 

Seniors, Kiah Gledhill, Zach Johnson, Jake Griffin, and Jonathan Calloway all had an excellent game at the plate, mound, and in the field. Some of the highlights include:

 

1. Jake Griffin"s grand slam homer....his third home run of the year. WKU will soon have the privilege of working with this young man...hard-worker with tremendous potential on the mound.

2. Kiah Gledhill's three hits, stolen base....as usual an excellent performance from one of the hardest working players in the state. KWC is lucky to have snagged this young man.

3. Zach Johnson's perfect relief, three hits....Brescia University is gonna love this kid...great hands and plus arm, speed, and power.

4. Jonathan Calloway's first appearance ever....stolen base as a pinch runner, and hard hit fielders choice, and I think he scored a run also....excellent effort....speed.

 

Yes....it was a day of celebration for Ohio Co Baseball as they played their final game at Bill Leach field. Next week is then final week of play before tournament time....three away games at Madisonville-North Hoptins, Allen Co-Scottsville, and Dawson Springs.

 

In the district tournament, the Eagles will play the winner of Muhlenberg Co and McLean Co. They earned the #1 seed and first-round bye going 3-1 in district play losing only to McLean Co. Ohio Co will be looking to win the district for the first time since 2009.

 

While guaranteed a spot in the regional, these Eagles play like they have something to prove beyond just the district. In the regional tournament, they are going to be tough to handle....they do like to battle. Stay hot Eagles!!

Correction.....14-5 was the final
