Dylan Embs of Brossart threw a complete game / no-hitter in this game. Walk and throwing error by Mustang catcher Tanner Norton set-up the run that P-Burg scored.

LEXINGTON - It was quite a day on Saturday for Brossart senior baseball player Dylan Embs, first on the mound and then at the plate.
Getting a rare pitching start in Saturday's Touchstone Energy All "A" Classic state quarterfinal game against Prestonsburg, Embs tossed a no-hitter as the Mustangs rolled to a 9-1 win at Whitaker Bank Park.
Then in a semifinal against Glasgow, Embs belted a two-run homer to cap a three-run second inning in a 7-1 Brossart victory.
Brossart (19-6), which has won seven straight games and 10 of its past 11, will play Christian Academy-Louisville in today's title game at 12:30 p.m.
CAL (19-8) advanced with a 10-6 semifinal win late Saturday over Newport Central Catholic, which had knocked off Reidland 4-3 in the quarterfinals. NewCath senior pitcher Vance Sullivan was roughed up for 10 runs in 31/3 innings, although only eight were earned.
CAL defeated Hazard 20-0 in the quarterfinals as the Centurions pounded out 17 hits in five innings.
Embs, who had started just two games on the mound this season but was coming off a stellar relief outing on Thursday against Scott, said he didn't know he was getting the start Saturday until after the team finished breakfast.
"I wasn't even in the right frame of mind to pitch, really, but when they told me I was like, 'Yeah, sure, I can do it,' " said Embs, who walked one, struck out seven and threw only 79 pitches. "I noticed around the fourth or fifth inning that I had a no-hitter going, but I tried not to think about it. I was more worried about us getting the win."
Brossart coach Matt Grosser said he started Embs not only because he was trying to set up his pitching staff for the tournament, but also because of Embs' strong performances against Scott and in previous starts.

One of the Pburg players thanked the Panther players, after the loss to Pikeville last week, for throwing them batting practice. Well, I guess it didnt do them any good. Karma has a way of biting you in the behind. I thought they would have at least been competitive, however playing in that atmosphere probably overwhelmed them a little.

Was that said in seriousness? If so, you are right, that was a little dose of karma. Irregardless, glad they got a taste of the big stage, it will only help the competitiveness overall of the region.

Really according to the players and coaches, they told them good luck and he told them the same while they were at home over the weekend. Then the batting practice comment ensued.
