Union County for the second year in a row sent Christian County home with a 6-5 upset win. CC with a regular season record of 24-9 compared to UC 16-21 had beat the Braves 12-2 in a regular season game. The big blow came in the top of the 6th with Union down 4-0, had runners on first and second with no outs. Coach Robison whom I think it's safe to say plays a lot of small ball but has been known to all of us to gamble on occasion did just that. Instead of giving Coy Burns the bunt sign he gave him the green light and he jacks it over the left field fence. All of us here assumed he would move the runners up with a bunt. Big day for Coy as he then came in to pitch Union out of a jam in the bottom of the 6th and get 2-3-4 out in the bottom of the 7th. Coach Robison doesn't get a whole lot of credit but he has revived the Union baseball program to a level not seen before. This is a very young team and the future is bright for the Union program.

Wow! So Elizabethtown, Campbell County, Pikeville, Southwestern and Christian County were plagued by the upset bug today. Am I missing any others?

Union defeats Livingston Central 9-8 and Caldwell County got by Henderson 5-3. These two will meet tomorrow night for the second year in a row for the regional title. The Tigers won last year and are heavy favorite tomorrow with the arms they have left. This will be Coach Robison's fourth regional final in the seven years he has coached and he has won two of them, continuing a new era in Union County Baseball.

If I am reading this correctly, Union County was down four in the sixth. No coach is bunting and giving the other team an out when you are down to six or less. At this point you have to play for the big inning. Down two or less maybe you bunt but not down 4.

Caldwell County defeats Union County 6-2 for the second region championship. This is the second year in a row the Tigers have advanced to the state tournament. They also beat the Braves last year in the regional final. Good luck in the state tourament.
