Karns and Knoxville Halls battled for the lead in 3-AAA today at Halls. Halls had their Ace, lefty Jeffery Lockwood on the mound. Jeffery had a fine night as he struck out 9 Karns batters and scattered six hits while only walking only one. The one walked batter hurt the Red Devils as with two outs and a full count Wesley Lee hit a two run home run in the top of the second inning.
Karns would counter with lefty, Landon Chester on the mound and Landon would scatter five hits and only give up one run in the bottom of the 5th inning on back-to-back doubles.
With the score 2-1 in the bottom of the 6th inning and with no outs, the Red Devils would put runners at the corners on a Beaver error and a walked batter. Coach Sharp would make a pitching change and bring in their Ace, Shane Ownby. Shane would throw only four pitches in the inning to get the Red Devils to hit into a double play and then retire the next batter.
Karns would add one run in the top of the 7th inning on a single and two Halls errors for the final score of 3-1 as Shane would shut down Halls in the bottom of the 7th inning and record the save.
Karns is 5-0 in 3-AAA while Knoxville Halls is 4-2
