Final from Letcher Co Central. To late for detail's.

What an exciting baseball game.

 

Nick Gray goes the distance for Clay County to get the win giving up 4H 1ER 2BB and 8K's. Great game young man. Clay County's Tanner Hensley was 3/4 and had the walk off single to end the game in the bottom for the 8th. Clay is a very solid and will be a team to be reckoned with in the 13th Region.

 

Montgomery County started Justin Martin, he went 4 innings recording 6K's 2H 1R 0ER 4BB. Martin gave way to Trey Combs in the 5th who gave up 4H 1ER 4BB 3K's. Trey Combs hit a HR to left center to tie the game at 1-1 in the top of the 4th for Montgomery's only run. Congrats Trey!!!!

 

Both team's seemed to play a flex defense today, they both bent but didn't break. When either team threatened with runner's in scoring position, each team stepped up and made big plays. Two plays that stand out for MC was 4-6-3 double play MC turns with base's loaded in the bottom of the 1st to get the Indians out of the inning. The other came in the bottom of the 4th with 2 outs CC has a runner on second and tries to score on a single to left only to have MC's Jesse Watkins throw the runner from second out at the plate, by the way, great tag by MC's catcher Chris Duzyk. CC also had an unassisted 6-3 double play to kill an Indians rally.

 

Congrats Clay County on the win.

 

See Montgomery/Letcher thread for details on MC bounce back win over Letcher County Central in their second game.

Must have been a good one (an 8 inning game 2-1 in 2nd week of season)! Heard that CC pitcher was very composed going the distance this early in the season.

 

Also heard defense was above avg for early season game and that MC had several outstanding plays including a diving stop and throwout by MC second baseman of a bullet hit between first and second in bottom of 7th when CC was threatning. Have heard CC has a solid team.

 

Great effort by MC on the road and a long road trip at that.
