Sorry it took so long to put this on here! I thought somebody else would've already done it by now lol.

Pikeville faced Oldham County in the final four of the tournament and won 6-4, Peyton Hamilton was the starting pitcher in this one. The bats helped Pikeville pull this one out, with many people hitting the ball well like Clay Slone, Daric Pugh, Austin Salyer, etc. Also Cody Dials laid down a good bunt to give Pikeville the lead at one point.

In the state championship Pikeville faced Southern Pulaski and lost 13-3. It was not a mercy, and was actually a closer game than what the score shows. It was 3-3 in the 4th inning when Southern Pulaski got a rally going with hits and then Pikeville sort of fell apart in the field. Not taking away anything at all from Southern Pulaski though, they definitely deserved to win! They played hard from the beginning of the game to the end! Congratulations Southern Pulaski!

Pikeville ended their season 24-4. The team grew tremendously throughout the season. Loved watching them grow as a team and each player individually. They were a young team, and only had two 8th grade players due to injuries. Hopefully they will continue to improve over the off-season and keep growing as a team. Also hoping the 8th graders continue to play for the high school program.
