WoW!! What a game. Knox jumped out to an early 7-1 lead on the Jackets as Pittman more than struggled early. The Jackets were able to cut the lead to 7-3 following the bottom half of the second and decided to bring Hoskins into the game. He sat down the Panthers 1-2-3 in his first inning on the mound. In the bottom half the Jackets scored 2 more to cut the lead to 7-5. Both teams shared some blows and going into the bottom of the 5th, the Jackets were down 10-5. With two outs on them in the bottom of the 5th, the Jackets rallied for 3 runs to cut the lead to two.

 

They held the Panthers scoreless in the top 6th and in the bottom half they rallied to take the lead 12-10. Hoskins came back out in the top of the 7th and sat down the first batter. Starting to fatigue, he began to struggle with his control. The Panthers loaded the bases with two outs and their number 3 batter stepped up and lined one into left center. One run scored but the second runner was gunned on a perfect rely to the catcher. The Panther however, had already tied it up at 12-12.

 

The Jackets lead off the bottom half of the inning with a single by Tyler Hatmaker. He stole second base and came home on a clutch hit by Trevor Hoskins to win the game.

 

Trevor Hoskins got the win, the game winning hit, and the MVP award for the game.

 

 

The Jackets will play the winner of tonights game between South Laurel and Clay County on Thursday. Brett Pittman will be ready to go for the Jackets in the championship. I look for him to return to form and pitch a great ballgame no matter who the Jackets face. In Pittman's district outing, Pittman through a 1 hitter against the Cumberland Redskins to clinch the District Championship.:thumb: :ylsuper:

OH MAN!!! I can't belive that I missed it!! :(

 

Who else had a good game for the Jackets???

 

WTG JACKETS!!! Beat the Cards for me since it's my B-Day Tomorow!!!

They play Thursday in the championship? That don't make any sense, it's almost always Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday!

 

Better check the schedule again.

Championship is Thursday, probably at 6:00.

 

Congrats to Knox on a strong finish to their season.

 

It appears all the teams in the 13th region have played good baseball in this tournament.

Does anyone know the clay/south score?
