Trimble County started off the game with 2 runs in the top of the first inning just to have the Wildcats match that production in the bottom of the inning. Trimble went on to score another run in the second and two more in the third making the score 5-2 after 3 innings. Then the 5th inning came along. the Wildcats tied the game, scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th.

 

It would go to extra innings as Scott Brown settled down not allowing a run until the 9th inning when Heath Buchanan hit a double into left field and scored on an Andrew McLaughlin single into center field with two out. The Wildcats could not recover and fell in the bottom of the 9th inning. Both pitchers, Michael Snell and Scott Brown went the distance.

Congrats to my Raiders! I know that some of them were tired (but happy!) this morning. Good luck against WV on Saturday.

Poor defense on the Wildcats part. Should have won but that's the way the ball bounces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
