It’s not very often that contests at Bill Worrell Field and Cavalier Park extend past 10 pm, but that was the case in both parks on Thursday night. Varsity Baseball ⚾️ dropped a 1-0 decision to James River High School after the Knights connected on a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning.
” Threw it well enough to win tonight. Reid and Colby were both excellent on the mound,” said Head Coach Casey Burcham.
” We didn’t do what we needed to do on offense to be successful,” Burcham added.
The team will wrap up its regular season today with the completion of a contest at Pulaski County.
Jeremy Puckett is sneaky, good, and his squad capped off a terrific season Wednesday night in Buchanan with a 2-0 victory over the Knights.
How good is this group ? The only two defeats came at the hands ✋️ or maybe feet of the Glenvar Highlanders. Even then, those losses were my the slimmest of margins.
It was a late night for this group after a weather delay, but I hope to circle back and add the goal scorers.
Robin and Johnny scored the team, played hard, and given the high temperature. Credit to Diego he put in the extra hustle play to get us over the finish line.
Carroll County High School Softball team trailed 8-6 and was down to their final out on Wednesday night. Laynie-Jo Leonard had just ripped a line drive that sadly found the glove of the Knights’ first baseman to make it 2 outs and nobody on base.
Natalie Burress coaxed a walk to keep the game from ending, and the Lady Cavaliers added a second base on balls to bring Greene up to the plate. The Junior delivered with a shot to the gap that tied the game at 8-8, and the play ended with Greene standing on third base.
The Knights decided to issue an intentional pass to the red hot Laiken Burnett to set up the game ending play. Holly Miller became the fourth Lady Cavalier to earn a walk 🚶♀️in the bottom of the seventh, and ball four squirted away from the catcher, allowing a hustling Greene to beat the tag on a bang bang play to send the soaked crowd home with a smile !
10:20 pm. marked the end of the seventh Three Rivers District victory of the season and gave Carroll County a split with James River. 7-5 in the district !
Greene led the 15-hit attack with four base knocks in addition to splitting the pitching duties with Emma Harman.
Both Holly Miller and Burnett picked up three hits each. Brooke Webb made the multi hit club a quartet with two base hits.
Ryan McCafferty caught the dramatic end of the game after watching the equally dramatic 1-0 victory for Adrienne McGuire and Company. I encourage folks to check ✔️ out his full gamer.
