In a battle of UK signees (Riddle for WH and Gott for TC) Hills finds a way to come back and get the win. Great game by both teams.

It was a great high school ball game. I was very impressed with J.T riddle's resolve. After Tates Creek hits back to back home runs off Riddle and taking a 5-1 lead in the 2nd inning he could have laid down, but that is not what the kid is about. He has a very even keel demeanor, alot of heart, and a never say die attitude. He got his slider working and pitched an excellent ball game from the 2nd inning on. His leadership in my opinion is what won that game for Western Hills. The two home runs by Cammack didn't hurt either.

Wow! This has to be a bit of a surprise. Did Riddle go the distance? Where was his pitch count? Another top ranked team in the state goes down.

The high score is a surprise. The outcome is not.

That was a great game. Not to take nothing away from Riddle but if Gott hadden started cramping up and could have went the distance this may have been a different outcome. But that is the way the ball bounces. I drove over 100 miles to watch that game after my son game was over and was not disappointed by no means. After seeing all the big name pitchers in the state I would say Riddle has to be on top.
