This one came down to Pikeville had one of their studs on the mound and Prestonsburg didn’t. After Pikeville batters saw the pitcher 2 times the guys started seeing the ball better.

One thing that I don’t understand is why does Pburg get their home dugout every game? I understand the 15th Region is hosted at their facility but Pburg isn’t the one hosting the tourney. I’m assuming it was probably agreed upon when they decided to have the tournament there when they voted on it but to me it just doesn’t make sense for them to get the 3rd base dugout for the rest of eternity since it’s held at their home field and they aren’t hosting it.

Other than it being on their home field, is there some sort of advantage Prestonsburg has by using the same dugout?

As a non coach and someone who just watches baseball to me it would be advantage for your head coach who usually stands at 3rd base when their team is batting being able to talk to their boys in the dugout while they are batting. But also just having Pburg be comfortable on their home dugout with their indoor right behind them attached to the dugout they don’t feel like they are in different environment like other team coming there to play. 

And again this is just from a sports fan who watches baseball games.
