Lawrence Co. 9 Pikeville 6 (15th Region Championship)

PHSForever Wrote:Actually, the two were having great games, but each were done in by one really disastrous inning apiece. The Pikeville inning was worse, and that was the difference. BUT, Shephard was aces when it counted against the last 6 batters to keep Pikeville from coming back, and that's all she wrote. You gotta tip your cap to both pitchers, especially a freshman against a seasoned D-1 signee senior, IMO. Rick Bentley of the News-Express said it right: "Chandler Sheperd is the big thing now, and Jacob Hamilton showed he will be the next big thing in the area". Rick also went on to call Shep the best pitcher in the area in the last at least 30 years since Willie Blair at Johnson Central. Rick has seen a lot of ball games and that is saying a lot. So good luck at state LC, and Pikeville, there's always next year.

I think Rick Bentley needs to take a drive up US23 and watch Jackson before he makes that kind of a comment? Actually Bentley just needs to be at more than one game a year before he can start making those types of comments? Shep has been the ace since 7th grade, but the 15th region never got to see other LC pitchers like Blevins, who was only 6 or 7 years ago? I just think Rick shouldve done a little more research before making that statement?
