People will look at this and question pitching decisions but Luke Hall had given up 2 hits going into the 5th and was solid the whole game. Defense, which has been an Achilles heel in many games this season, squandered any opportunity at winning this game. Errors lead to extended innings which leads to excessive pitches in an inning and fatigue.

But hats off to the Panthers. They made some incredible plays, starting in the first inning when Bradyn Hall robbed Kaden Allen of a double with a diving grab. Defense wins championships and Pikeville was able to back their starting pitching all year long.

Good luck to them at state and congrats to Prestonsburg on a monumental run.
