“Rough start to the game and we responded by hitting the ball all over the ballpark,” Whitley County coach Jeremy Shope said. “Hopefully, we learned a valuable lesson by making sure we bring energy from the time we step foot at the ballpark. We had an early morning start after a long day yesterday. This is the time to learn from our mistakes. Proud of how we responded.”
Kip Allen received the win, lasting 2.1 innings while giving up three hits and one earned run. He struck out four batters. Trey Walton came in relief, pitching 1.2 scoreless innings while striking out three batters.
