WILLIAMSBURG — Straight off of a Kentucky 2A state championship effort, the Whitley County Colonels brought out their 2023 state championship uniforms and preceded to hand Williamsburg a 14-0 loss on Monday.
The Colonels scored early and often in the win, improving to 18-2 overall, and 3-0 against district competition.
“Kip Allen came out and knocked the bat out of Williamsburg hands,” Whitley County coach Jeremy Shope said. “Filled up the strike zone. We were able to put offense pressure on them and end the game early. Go Colonels.”
Kip Allen turned in an impressive effort in the mound, tossing a five inning shutout while striking out 10 batters and only allowing two hits.
