I might agree on the missed call at 1st, but if it had not been for a missed called strike 3 in the bottom of the 7th the game would have never made it tot the 8th inning.

Pendleton County finishes the regular season with a win at Bracken County today. Trent Turner hit a grand slam for the Wildcats and Alex Valentine picked up the win in relief. Pendleton County finishes the regular season with a 13-11 record.

Kendall started for Harrison, not sure who pitched for NCC. It was 3-1 after 5, then the HCHS wheels fell off.

Tyler Daughtery pitched very well for the PCHS Wildcats for 4 innings as Pendleton led 2-1 going into the bottom of the 5th. In order to have Tyler available for the 38th District Tournament he could only pitch 4 innings and the bullpen could not finish the job as Montgomery rallies for 11 runs in the 5th and 6th innings to win it 12-4. Pendleton drops to 12-11 on the season with the regular season finale on Saturday at 2:30 at Bracken County.

Thoroughbreds down the Thorobreds on the Hilltop tonight in the regular season finale.

Not sure who pitched, but I heard the Valentine hit an absolute bomb!

Congrats to the Wildcats on the win. Pendleton improves to 12-10 on the season. Next up for Pendleton is a trip to Montgomery County on Friday night.

Prayers for him for a full recovery. A sad way to end his Senior season.

Harrison is really struggling at the plate and in the field right now. I am sure Coach Whitaker will get the ship righted, but I am not convinced that it will sail very far.

Pretty impressive showing by the Mustangs apparently. But, as everyone is aware, this is not the first time Broassart has hammered Harrison County during the regular season.

Anybody that gets 12 wins in a row is impressive and deserves some positive recognition.

Agreed, thoughts and prayers to Nicholas County from the Hilltop in Harrison County.

Wow, sorry to hear about that!

Pendleton County evens its record at 10-10 with the 5 inning shutout tonight in Falmouth.

Actually Turner's apparent HR came in the 2nd inning.

Pendleton County has improved going from 4-26 last year to 9-10 this year and I think they are headed in the right direction. If they could just get some vocal leadership from the players on the field. Someone who will pick the others up when they are down and get on them when they need to be gotten on. They need to have someone on the field step up and be the leader of the team and you will see even more improvement in my opinion.

Tyler Daugherty shut down the Bluejackets in the 2nd game of the doubleheader. Pendleton County's Trent Turner hit what appeared to be a 3 run homerun in the top of the first, but the homeplate umpire ruled it foul. Nobody scored until Pendleton took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 4th. Nicholas tied it in the bottom of the 4th with a solo homerun. Pendleton County then scored 4 times in the top of the 5th to take a 5-1 lead and picked up the win. Pendleton and Nicholas will battle in the 38th District Tournament at Pendleton County with Nicholas County being the home team on the scoreboard. With the doubleheader split Pendleton now has a 9-10 record.

Is he their ace?

Who pitched for Bourbon?

GRC shuts out the Wildcats in 5 innings today at Falmouth. This is the first shutout of the Wildcats this year. Pendleton County falls to 6-9 with the loss while GRC improves to 13-4.

Ask any of the former HCHS Players about Coach Whitaker. They love him and they learn about life while playing for him. It's not always fair, it's not always easy, but they do learn. He builds character in his players. The only ones who do not like him are the ones who lose to him on a regular basis. I have had 2 sons play for him and they would fight for him, run through a wall for him, anything he needed. He demands respect, he gets respect and he instills respect.

I was listening to the game on the radio and it sounded as if Beechwood needed some cheese to go with their whine. A quote from Thorobreds play by play man, the old saying of Manny being Manny and Beechwood arguing and then throwing at Fowler was just Beechwood being Beechwood. Umpires don't win and lose games for you, they may miss a call here and there, but you have to make the plays and overcome any calls that you don't agree with to win games. The umpire must have thought they were throwing at Fowler or he wouldn't have approached Coach Meyerhoff. The catcher had no business running his mouth at all and probably should have been tossed. Harrison is improving, but still will not be the team they could have been had Logan Dailey and Ryan Durbin not been injured for their Senior years on the mound. Good luck to Coach Whitaker (A Class Act and best coach in the State of Kentucky) and the rest of the Thorobreds!

Agreed!

Thorobreds win the McDonald's Classic with an 8-5 win over Beechwood. Nice win for the Thorobreds.

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!
