Lyons Run Win Streak Over Trigg to Six Games

4-27-bingham

In the 2018 5th District baseball semifinals, Savion Radford hit a walk-off grand slam to give Trigg County a 4-0 win over Lyon County in eight innings.

Trigg hasn’t beaten Lyon since.

Eli Baker pitched a five-hit shutout to lead the Lyons over the Wildcats 11-0 in five innings Tuesday – Lyon’s sixth straight win over Trigg since the walk-off.

The Lyon County freshman allowed five Trigg singles and struck out seven while walking none in running his season record to 5-1 and lowering his ERA to 1.27.

Lyon County got all of the offense they needed in the first inning although Trigg County contributed to their success.

Three Wildcat errors helped the Lyons plate four runs. Brady Belt had the only Lyon RBI of the inning, a sharp single to center.

Lyon added two more runs on three consecutive passed balls. Baker helped his own cause two batters later when his single scored Austin Spears, who had doubled.

Trigg’s first real scoring threat of the game came in the third inning when Aaron Despain and Hunter Reynolds led off the inning with singles. However, Baker settled down and retired three straight batters to end the inning.

Brody Williams laced a two-out home run in the third inning – his ninth of the season – to increase the Lyon lead to 9-0. Doubles by Jackson Shoulders and Spears plated the 10th run for the Lyons.

Williams and Spears each finished with two hits and two RBIs. Lyon had nine hits and was helped by five Trigg errors and four walks.

Lyon County (16-3) will squeeze in a district game at Livingston Central Wednesday before beginning play in the All A Classic State Tournament in Richmond Saturday. The Lyons will open against 14th Region champion Hazard at 12:30 eastern time at EKU.

Trigg County (5-13) also has a district opponent up next. The Wildcats will host Crittenden County Thursday.
