Hillard turned in a complete game shutout, allowing only three hits and striking out 15 batters during the Tigers\u2019 5-2 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Yellow Jackets led 2-0 entering the fourth inning before Barbourville rallied to score five runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaxon Hammons drove in two runs, finishing with a hit and two runs scored while Caden Miracle also drove in a run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe went down early in the first off a couple of miscues,\u201d Barbourville coach Brandon Hillard said. \u201cIn the third, Noah Gray came up with a huge play in center for us and it really sparked our defense from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLuke Hillard gave us the outing we needed him to have,\u201d he added. \u201cHe was efficient in the zone the majority of the night. Can\u2019t say enough about his performance and the defense stepping up the rest of the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the bottom of the fourth, Caiden Miracle delivered a triple that sparked the offense scoring one,\u201d Hillard continued. \u201cThen we were able to push some insurance runs across.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
