Meade Co. 1 - Calloway Co 0 (State Tournament)
#1
Meade County’s Bo Wilson and Calloway County’s Dylan Dwyer hooked up in a classic pitchers’ duel in the state baseball tournament at Whitaker Bank Ballpark on Tuesday afternoon.
Meade County wound up winning 1-0 when Andrew Zabel scored from third on a wild pitch with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Wilson, a senior right-hander who’s headed to the Air Force Academy, went the distance. He gave up two hits, struck out six and walked one in improving his record to 10-2.
Dwyer, a senior left-hander who’s signed with Kentucky, also went seven innings. He gave up two hits, struck out 13 and walked seven. The loss was his first in 12 decisions this season.
Zabel led off the seventh with a single to center off Dwyer. After he was sacrificed to second, Wilson was intentionally walked. Dwyer struck out the next batter for the second out. But with Brady Smith at the plate, Dwyer threw a wild pitch that allowed Zabel to get to second. Dwyer then threw another breaking ball into the dirt, and it bounced away from catcher Caleb Brannon, and Zabel scored easily.
“We knew it’d be a low-scoring game, so we thought if we could just scratch out one run at some point, we’d get it done,” Wilson said. ” But at end of the day, we just had more than they did.”
This was the first time Calloway County was shut out this season.

A scoreless pitchers' duel between Meade County's Bo Wilson and Calloway County's Dylan Dwyer came down to the bottom of the seventh inning, with two outs and two strikes on the batter.
The classic scenario had a dramatic ending in the Kentucky National Insurance/KHSAA State Tournament at Whitaker Bank Ballpark on Tuesday afternoon.
Andrew Zabel raced home from third to score the winning run on a wild pitch by Dwyer to give Meade County a 1-0 victory.
An exhilarating victory; a devastating defeat.
"A great game by both teams," Wilson said.
Both pitchers turned in stellar complete games.
Wilson, a senior right-hander who's headed to the Air Force Academy, gave up two hits, struck out six and walked one to improve to 10-2.
"Bo's not going to overpower you," Coach Todd Clanton said, "but he throws a lot of off-speed pitches, hits his locations, and he feels like he can beat anybody."
Dwyer, a senior lefty who has signed with Kentucky, gave up two hits, struck out 13 and walked seven while taking his first loss in 12 decisions this year.
"He gave us a performance like he's given us every day for two years," Calloway County Coach Zach Hobbs said. "He gave us a chance to win, and that's all you can ask from your starting pitcher."
Meade County's winning rally began with Zabel's leadoff single. After a sacrifice moved Zabel to second, Dwyer intentionally walked Wilson at the top of the Green Wave order.
Dwyer fanned the next batter for the second out.
With Brady Smith at the plate, Dwyer threw a breaking ball in the dirt that allowed Zabel to move to third.
With two strikes on Smith, Dwyer went to his "out" pitch — his curve. He got the strikeout, but the ball broke into the dirt and bounded away from catcher Caleb Brannon. Zabel scored easily from third, and there was no throw to first to try to get Smith.
"That's baseball," Hobbs said. "Just a bad break."
