The Jackets continued to struggle against Knox. Barton pitched well for 5 and 1/3 innings but may have been left in too long as the Jackets lost a 3 - 0 lead in the 6th. This was a tough one to lose for the Burg as they may have played their best defensive game of the season, but 3 mental mistakes on offense killed them. The move of Andrew Root to catcher, on what now appears to be a full time basis, has really solidified the defense. J.P. Payne is turning out to be a very nice middle infielder as well. Root and Teague seem to be carrying the offense right now, Root drove in a couple and was on 3 out of 4 at bats. Williamsburg really needs some other bats to come alive. No easy ones in sight though as they play Bell tonight.

Good win for Knox Central, but I would have loved to see the Jackets pull this one out...Sounds like it was a great game.

Hindsight is always 20/20, it's a little harder from the dugout in the moment though.

6 straight hard hit balls may not be hindsight. It was tough to see him pitch his guts out and end up with a loss.

Did they have anyone left to pitch capable of getting out with the win? I know they had the doubleheader with South Laurel on Wednesday, Bell Co. to play Friday with Corbin waiting on Monday & Tuesday, plus Moses' exodus from the team may have left them a little short on pitching.:idunno:
