Disastrous first innings sinks MMC

Posted

The second game of Tuesday night’s Marshall County Babe League doubleheader didn’t last long as the Maury County Red Birds demolished Marshall Medical Center (MMC) 18-0 in a two-inning run-rule win.

The Red Birds scored 13 runs in the top of the first inning and five more in the second.

Seventeen batters came to the plate in the first inning for the Red Birds with five out of the first six batters drawing walks off MMC starting pitcher Beau Shillig.

Luke Uselton added a two-run single off Shillig.

Austin Kelley came to the hill in relief and the Red Birds added eight more runs with the big blows coming on a two-run single by Kam Street, a two-run double off the bat of Derek Keen, and a run-scoring single by Koen Fagan.

Keen started on the hill for the Red Birds and was credited for the first no-hitter of the season as he faced only seven MMC batters in the contest.

Keen struck out three and issued walks to Cova Rowland and Kaden Mills.

In the five-run top of the second inning, the Red Birds got five more batters on base via walks and one on an error by MMC with the only hit coming off the bat of Bryson Jones, who lashed a two-run double.
