Posted

McMINNVILLE — Despite out-hitting Warren County, 9-6, on Monday night, the Shelbyville Central Golden Eagles fell short of knocking off the Pioneers in a 7-4 final score.
Warren County struck first with a solo home run in the bottom of the first, but the Eagles plated three runs in the top of the second frame, with some two-out magic.
Marquis Wilson helped his own cause and singled home the first Eagle run of the night when he smacked a line drive to center field, scoring Kyler Trice.
Jakob Formosa and William Bobo both scored when Caden Thomas hit a fly ball and safely reached via error, allowing the two runs to cross the plate, but was thrown out advancing to third base.
Having snatched the 3-1 lead, Warren County drove in five runs in the bottom of the third on two RBI singles and a two RBI double to center.
The Eagles added a fourth run when Trice was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Warren County tacked on an extra insurance run in the bottom of the fifth.
Bobo, Trice, and Carston Williams all recorded two base hits on Monday to lead the Eagles at the plate.
Wilson got the start on the mound for the Eagles and pitched four innings, giving up six runs on six hits, while striking out four.
Bobo worked the final two innings in relief and gave up just one unearned run while striking out four.
Game 2 against the Pioneers was scheduled for Tuesday evening, weather pending.
