Yesterday, Boyle played Campbellsville High School, a 23-10, very strong team from Region 5. Logan Parnass opened the game up pitching last night.

After no runs through the first inning, Campbellsville hit a home run, with Newton hitting a line drive to center field. In the fourth inning, Ellis also hit a home run of a fly ball to center field, making it two runs off of two solo home runs.

Boyle did fight back to get one run, though, with Sage Dawson hitting a single, followed by a fielders choice off Logan Marsee’s hit, then a single by Keenan Stewart, and a fly ball into right field from Alex Smith that brought Marsee home.

Campbellsville then scored again in the bottom of the sixth, leaving the game at 3-1, which was how the game ended. A disappointing loss for the Rebels, but against a very good Campbellsville team.

The Rebels will play again tonight against Elizabethtown for the last game of the season before starting postseason play! Good luck to our Rebels!!

This Thursday, Boyle faced up against a 13-6 Pulaski County, shaping up to be a great matchup with the teams being ranked two and three in the region at the time.

Boyle started the game off very hot, scoring three runs in the first two innings, keeping Pulaski at zero, led by a walk by Logan Marsee to bring in a run and a single by Sage Dawson. Pulaski didn’t give up though, tying the game up 3-3 from one run in the third and two runs in the fourth.

With a neck and neck game going into the fifth, Boyle showed up when they needed to most. Carson Rowe singled and brought in a run to take the lead, and then didn’t allow a run in the bottom of the fifth. In the top of the sixth, Austin Bodner started the spectacular inning by drawing a walk, where Sage Dawson then had a sacrifice bunt, then Logan Marsee reached on an error to get on base as well, advancing Bodner to third. Coleman Stewart then struck out, but then the on pour started. After Marsee stole second, Keenan Stewart hit a line drive to center field which brought both Bodner and Marsee home. Then, Kyler Claunch hit a ground ball to reach on an error, then scoring Keenan Stewart, followed by a Brayson Claunch hit which brought his brother home.

In the bottom of the seventh, Pulaski started a bit of a rally ,bringing home two runs, but it was too little too late to take down Boyle, and the Rebels ended the game by winning 8-5.

The Rebels’ game tomorrow against Casey County has been canceled, and instead they will face up next against Sayre at Scott County.

Monday night, Boyle faced up against the top team in the district and the second best team in the region, Garrard County. Boyle County being the second best team in the district and fourth in the region made this a very important match-up in the 12th region.

Boyle, traveling to Garrard County, allowed one run in the first off of an impressive home run to left field from Elleman. Boyle takes the lead though, in the top of the second, with Coleman Stuart doubling, Brayden West reaching on an error, Brayson Claunch being walked, Cameron Owens hitting a single to bring Coleman Stewart home, and Sage Dawson hitting a sacrifice fly to center field to bring home Brayden West! However, Garrard bounces back incredibly, bringing in five runs with four of them being from a grand slam. Garrard didn’t take their foot off the gas in the next two innings, bringing in two runs in the third, and two runs in the fourth.

For Boyle, Logan Marsee opened the pitching for 2.2 innings, with Josh Cool relieving him, and Logan Perry closing. Some impressive performances from the Rebels include Coleman Stewart going three for three, hitting a double and bringing in a run, Cameron Owens getting an important hit in the second and being walked, and Logan Marsee being walked twice and recording one hit on the night.

Overall, a tough game for the Rebels because they played very well, but Garrard had an impressive night, including the five runs from home runs. Boyle will have another chance at Garrard tonight though, this time at home, hoping to start a new winning streak like the 18 game streak that this loss broke!

 

After beating Lincoln 11-1 the night before, Boyle was at home vs. Lincoln. Boyle was 14-6 going into the game and Lincoln was 7-12.

Logan Parnass started and finished the game on the mound, pitching all seven innings, allowing seven hits, and only one run off of a home run to deep right field. He also recorded five strikeouts, with an overall very impressive performance.

Boyle started off the game very hot, getting three singles in a row and bringing in two runs! Boyle then brought in a third run, and after Lincoln’s home run in the top of the fourth, Boyle brought home two runs to extend the lead to 5-1. After that Lincoln hit a roadblock with hitting, but Boyle kept hitting the ball very well with one run in the sixth and two in the seventh. Boyle had very aggressive base running all night, stealing a impressive total of 15 bases on the night!

Josh Cool, a player who was subbed in as Designated Hitter, said “The game went well, we made good plays in the field, our pitcher threw strikes and got outs. We left runners in scoring position that we definitely should have gotten across to score, and we had too many strikeouts, so that’s something for us to work out before the next game.”

Overall, a great performance from the Rebels!! They will play again Friday against Tates Creek at home!!
