LONDON \u2014 It was a game that had it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Laurel\u2019s Dylan Hurley was tossing a shutout until Garrard County scored three runs in the top of the sixth to take a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jaguars rallied, scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings before Cameron Smith came up to the plate, and delivered a walk-off three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the Jaguars (8-7) a 6-3 win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGame of many emotions,\u201d North Laurel coach Darren McWhorter said. \u201cEarly, everything we hit was right at them. Dylan Hurley threw great, then in the top of the sixth, he walked two and a guy hit a three-run homer to take a 3-1 lead.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe never said die,\u201d he added. \u201cIn the bottom of the seventh, Cooper Parman had a two-run single to tie the game, and Cam Hinkle pitched the seventh and eighth innings, and Tanner Houchens pitched the ninth \u2014 they both threw great.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHouchens then came up to bat in the bottom of the ninth and led off with a single, Cooper Elza followed with a drag bunt hit and Cameron Smith hit a walk off three-run homer. We never said die, and pulled it out in the end. Great win \u2014 Go Jags.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
