The Colonels (13-2) used a three-run second inning to pull away from the Blue Tornado, and never looked back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bryce Anderson, and Mason Croley teamed up on the pitcher\u2019s mound, limiting Paducah Tilghman to only three hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anderson went four and two\/thirds of an inning, allowing only two hits, and one earned run while striking out five batters. Croley pitched two and one\/thirds of an inning, allowing only a hit while striking out two batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cProud of how our team has handled ourselves this week in moments when things were going good and when things didn\u2019t go good,\u201d Whitley County coach Jeremy Shope said. \u201cWe knew we had a tough day ahead of us with Tilghman\u2019s ace on the mound. Bryce was coming off a bad day on the mound. He wasn\u2019t about to let that happen again. So proud of how he responded today. He and our defense knocked the bat out of their hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was a really good baseball game between two pitchers and two teams,\u201d he added. \u201cPleased with this week and look forward to the next stretch of the season. We are blessed to have awesome parents and friends that support the growth of our student athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
