Final(10 innings)

WOW!!!! That is all you can say about this game. This was byfar the best baseball games I have ever seen, if you weren't at Tiger Park tonight you missed a defensive exhibition. Each team had 5 or 6 hits in this game and both had several chances to score throughout the game. We are talking bases loaded, no outs, and could not score. Tonights game had some of the best defensive plays ever displayed by high school athletes. Justin Amlung threw the best game of his career tonight, its a hard to pitch that well and get the no decision, but I think the win was much more important.

 

Tied 0-0 in the bottom of the 10th, the Tigers get a couple basehits and a walk to load the bases. After a strikeout, SS Ryan Cline comes up and hits a deep fly ball to right field to sacrifice the game winning run home. The game should have been over in the bottom of the 7th after the PRP 2nd baseman booted a ground ball and Kevin Brinkman beat the play out at 1st base by atleast a step and a half. The umpire saved the game for PRP by calling Brinkman out, and keeping the game winning runner from scoring from 3rd base.

 

The game was definitely a rowdy one, but a very strong performance by both teams. I'm glad St.X was able to pull out the win and bounce back after a tough weekend.

 

GREAT JOB TIGERS!!:ylsuper::dancingpa

Great job Tigers. Way to battle and win a close one. Once again proves that in a one game situation, anything can happen in Kentucky High School baseball. St. X will have a challenging road to get to the state tournament, playing in one of the toughest districts in the state. Go Tigers.

Congrats to the X men. Now is X the team to beat for the State? Also, good job to Amlung, must have pitched a very very good game.

Great game Tigers I did not think any team could shut out PRP this year!

Huge win....!!! setting the stage for a super state tourney picture. I'd hate to be the next opponent of PRP!

What's that old baseball cliche..."We're going take it one game at a time"...that's exactly what X has to do starting with Male. Otherwise, they'll find themselves starting their summer break earlier than anticipated.
