One For All and All For One Hit

RE-CAP  In a Wednesday night duel, four Louisville Longhorns pitchketeers combined to limit the 12U Lyndon Lightning to one hit over six innings while whiffing 14 Bolt batters. At the dish, after being down 1-0 after the first half inning, the Longhorns answered right back with two tallies in the bottom of the frame and added three more in the third stanza en route to a 5-2 victory, their first in the young Beechmont 12U Competitive League season.

HUMP DAY HAPPENINGS  Special Ks: Starting slabster Matthew Higgins recorded eight of nine outs via Route K, and Nicholas Parrish, Andrew Littlefield and Casey Simon flung an inning each and notched two punchouts apiece... Balls Out: When not throwing it by batters or getting plunked by one (actually two—he was twice hit by pitches in the game), Higgins was hitting the ball out of the yard—his 3-run shot in the third inning, high over the center field screen, was his fourth of the year and proved to be the difference in the contest... Slap Me Five: Andrew Littlefield’s first inning, RBI single extended his hit streak to five games... Bunt Cake: His sacrifice hit in inning No. 2 marked the second time in the last three games that Noah Baugher has treated game-goers to a scintillating display of his small-ball savvy.
