The Redhounds (4-2) struck first with two runs in the top of the first inning before New Albany took a 3-2 edge with three runs in the bottom of the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corbin answered with three runs in the top of the second inning to reclaim a 5-3 advantage but Neal Albany scored three runs to take a 6-5 lead into the third inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New Albany added two more runs in the third inning to push its advantage to 8-5. The score remained the same until the top of the sixth inning when the Redhounds added two runs to cut their deficit to 8-7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That would be as close as Corbin would get. New Albany sealed the deal in the seventh inning to pick up the one-run victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cProud of my guys today,\u201d Corbin coach Cody Philpot said. \u201cWe competed against a next level competitor and had our opportunities to come away with a win. Obviously, we are never happy with an L but we\u2019re down here to see good competition and make ourselves better. I think we did that today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
