Final

Story of game was dominant pitching performance through 5 innings of Bourbon's Sr. Hunter Clemons, in his 1st start as a pitcher. He struck out 9 while allowing only a 5th inning single and 2 walks. Bourbon scored 2 in first assisted by some shaky fielding from Bracken. From that inning on Bracken's Brady Jones allowed a lot of contact but no run scoring damage. Bracken scored their lone run in 6th on a solo shot to left center by Tanner Fisher. A. Crawford followed with a walk only to be picked off first, and then Tad Fisher singled to be gunned out at second on a steal attempt.

 

Went to this game to see how Bracken might fair against one of top tier 10th Region teams. The loss drops them to 2-5 in the 10th, but I was delighted to see them being very competitive with their #1 going against an 18-5 Bourbon Co. (10- 2 in the 10th). 39th match-up against Mason could be a good one.
