In one of the craziest games I have ever seen, the Sayre Spartans rallied to defeat Pendleton County in the bottom of the 7th inning in Lexington. Pendleton jumped out to a 6-2 lead after 2 innings. With 2 out in the bottom of the 5th and nobody on base Pendleton was cruising as the Wildcats led 13-3. Then the Wilcats fell apart. Sayre scored 5 times with 2 outs in the bottom of the 5th to make it 13-8. Pendleton added 3 in the 6th to go up 16-8. Sayre rallied for 2 more in the bottom of the 6th to close the gap to 16-10. After Pendleton left a runner stranded on 3rd base in the top of the 7th, Sayre rallied for 7 runs in the bottom of the 7th to cap off an unbelievable game. Sayre improves to 11-5 with the win, while Pendleton falls to 6-8 snapping their 3 game winning streak.

Pendleton County scores a lot of runs, but man do they ever give up a lot too.

I agree on todays game. The pitching, defense and metal toughness left them today in the bottom of the 5th inning. They need to have some vocal leaders on the field step up and take charge when the wheels start to fall off like they did today. They looked as good as I have seen in quite some time for 4 2/3 innings and then, well you already know the rest of the story. They have some good young players in the system and the future looks bright for the Wildcats as long as they continue to work hard!

Well..................that Sayre team is pretty darn good...............ask the NCC faithful. They really gave them a tough game. Quite frankly you have to be happy with what the Pendleton program is doing this season. They look focused, disciplined, and are playing with a purpose.
