Hancock County walked off Meade County, while Apollo and Owensboro both lost.
Tecumseh (Lynnville), IN 5, Apollo 1
Mollie Julain threw a complete game, allowing three earned runs over seven innings in the E-Gals’ 5-1 loss to Tecumseh. Tyler Hall drove in the team’s lone run, while Liza Page went 1-4 and scored.
“I thought we competed pretty well,” Apollo head coach Stephen Julian said. “We just couldn’t get the big hit we needed with runners in scoring position. Defensively, we gave them too many outs, but I am seeing improvement. We just need to keep working at getting better.”
Hancock County 9, Meade County 8
Audrey Carnes drove in Madison McManaway in the bottom of the eighth inning to walk off Meade County 9-8. Aubree Mosby went 1-4 with two RBIs, while Ansley House also drove in a run.

“We played well, and we can’t hang our heads for competing against the defending state champs and the current number four ranked team in the state,” Owensboro head coach Quincy Moorman said. “We had our chances and just couldn’t find the timely hits we needed late in the game.”
