Not sure why its not updated yet, but did go 2-1 down there with a come back from the dead win in the last game against a real solid Loudon team that will be a big confidence boost for the HC kids.

Those kinds of wins can really energize a team for the next game.

I looked at HC schedule for the next 4 or 5 games and they will definitely be tested.

I wonder which game Boggs will pitch in that Somerset, North Laurel, and Corbin string of games?

Not sure, but HC has other kids that can also pitch the big games - Bond, Leisge, Bailey and T. Cornett.. Will be some good work for all of them during this stretch of games
