Paintsville jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the 2nd inning. Tyler LeMaster started the game for Paintsville and pitched great. He allowed only 2 or 3 hits I believe, and he may have walked 1. He kept Boyd County's hitters guessing. Boyd County scored 3 runs off of Chris Caldwell. Caldwell came out in the 4th and Zach Vialpando came in. Boyd Co. scored 3 more runs off of Vialpando. The game went scoreless for a while. Then Jake Cyrus came in for Paintsville and threw the ball great too. He kept hitters off balance and allowed no runs in 2 innings of work. Mark Minix walked to start off the bottom of the 7th with Paintsville down 6-5. Seth Rice reached on a throwing error that went into the dugout, and moved to 2nd base while Minix moved to 3rd. Patrick Butcher came in to pinch run for Rice. Dyllon Brown came up and laced the 2nd pitch he saw up the middle for a 2 RBI single to win the game. Cyrus picked up the win on the mound. What a great way to start out the season for Paintsville's JV squad. Congrats!! Great effort shown by Boyd Co. they never quit.
