Tuesday’s matchup would see South Hardin jump ahead on a Bo Carpenter sac fly in the 1st to take a 1-0 lead. The Tigers would then add a run on an RBI ground out from Casey Williamson in the 4th to go up 2-0. Pitching and defenses would rule into the final inning, as South Hamilton attempted a rally as a Braden Young RBI double made the score 2-1, but the Hawks could not even things up in a 2-1 defeat.
Braden Young would go 1-for-4 with an RBI double, while Landon Sogard went 1-for-2. Brody Harris was charged with the loss on the mound despite pitching will, pitching 5 innings and allowing 2 runs (1 earned) on 3 hits and striking out 3.
