After throwing consecutive 3 hitters and losing to Heritage and South Doyle, respectively, West decided to wake the bats up tonight. Too bad West also allowed William Blount baserunners to run wild via a combination of errors, walks, passed balls, and errant throws.
When the dust settled William Blount earned a hard fought 13-12 win in 10 innings.
Justin Young homered off starter David Zeanah to lead off the bottom of the 1st after West had plated two runs in the top on starter Phillip Tucker. That's the way it went. WB had a 7-3 lead at one point, but West came from behind twice. Hookman, Hiles, and Powell homered for West. WB lifted Tucker after the 7-3 lead. Stott, Wojo, and Byrd also pitched. Hiles relieved Zeanah in the 5th and went the remainder of the game, continually getting out of bases loaded jams.
West has some serious mental rehab to do before facing Morristown West, McCallie, and Hunters Lane this weekend. Oh, there's also another district game scheduled for tomorrow against Sevier County.
