Trinity (Whitesville) vs Breckinridge County
A rough start to their road matchup cost the Lady Raiders on Monday, as a slew of free bases and hits led to a 5-3 loss to Breckinridge County.
Trinity (Whitesville) was in hot water straight out of the gate, as a pair of walks and an error plated the first run of the game for the Lady Tigers in the bottom of the first.
