[Summary by Rick Roepke] Offense: 15 runs on 14 hits from 36 plate appearances; 19 balls-in-play, 2 hit batters, 5 walks, 10 strikeouts Defense: 5 runs allowed on 3 hits from 21 batters; 0 errors; 3 walks, 12 strikeouts, no hit batters 10-run mercy rule applied after 5th inning Tullahoma 2 2 8 0 3--15 Lexington 3 0 0 2 0--5 Pitching: Sam Tomes pitched four innings of 2 hit ball, and was relieved by Marquel Hickerson to shutdown the games final inning. A combined 12 strikeouts by 21 batters proved too much for a good Greeneville team to overcome. Other than a 3-run home run, Sam and Marquel were untouchable by a team that run-ruled their previous opponents. Only Tomes must sit out for league-required two days of rest. As usual, Caleb Zidan caught all of the Tullahoma's pitchers, and kept Greeneville's runners stopped all night. Hitting: 14 RBI proved too much as Tullahoma American's pounded out 1 home run, 4 doubles, and 9 singles. Coupled with 5 walks and 2 hit batters, the Americans worked 4 Greeneville pitchers into the loser's bracket. Trey Burks was hit, walked and was 2-for-2 batting, Sam Tomes was 3-for-4 with 5 RBI while Justin Brown, Brad Roepke went 2-for-3, and Ryan Lawson, Marquel Hickerson, Zach Lampkin, Alex Butaud, and Josh Brandon each added hits. All-star plays: Agressive, smart base running by the entire team kept the Greeneville defense puzzled about where to throw the ball after each hit.
