Darren McWhorter\u2019s squad was looking to build on its recent success, but couldn\u2019t hold on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jaguars (16-13) scored five runs in the top of the first inning before Rockcastle County responded with eight runs in the bottom of the second inning to seize control. The Rockets added two runs in the third inning, two more in the fourth inning and another insurance run in the fifth inning  while totaling 11 hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cam Hinkle led North Laurel at the plate, going 2-for-5 with a double, triple and an RBI. Jude McWhorter added a double and drove in two runs while Ashton Napier finished with a hit and RBI. Eli Holt, Colton Stewart and Colter Elza also recorded hits for the Jaguars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
