I didn't have a chance to go to the first game of the double-dip today, but the second game was pretty good and featured a few bombs. I thought Pikeville could've took the second game when they had the bases loaded with no outs in the bottom of the 6th. Cumberlands brought in local product Adam Blanton from Johnson Central (Paintsville, KY) and he was very efficient. I believe he may have thrown 5 pitches to get out of the jam if that. He caused a double play I believe on his first pitch and then a pop fly to the next batter. Looked very good I thought and it ended all hopes of a Pikeville rally. Good job Adam.

As for Pikeville, this team is really struggling and I honestly don't know if they can win another game against the in-conference competition. They have a pitcher named Jordan Compton from Haysai (sp?) VA that is a stud. I believe he's started roughly 5 or 6 ball games and has yet to give up a single run with an ERA of 0.00 last time I checked....still without a victory. Not enough run support. The Bears, currently 3-23, have to get things rolling or they'll be lucky to get 10 wins all season....well actually lucky to get anywhere from 5-8. Best of luck to both teams though.
