After starting the season with a pair of victories, the Trigg County baseball team slipped below .500 with a third straight setback after a 9-8 loss to hosts Marshall County on Monday.
After knocking off Lyon County and Caldwell County on Saturday, Monday’s win makes it three in a row for the 5-3 Marshalls.
The Wildcats struck early against Marshall starting pitcher Luke Turner, opening the scoring on Hunter Reynolds’ RBI double and tacking on two more runs on a Marshall error.
However, the Marshals answered in a big way in the bottom of the 1st, roughing up Trigg starter Haydon Reynolds for six runs. Runners crossed the plate on two bases-loaded walks and an error before Ethan Landis capped the inning with an RBI single.
After rallying to tie the game with three runs in the 3rd, Trigg surged back in front on Hunter Reynolds’ RBI single in the top of the 4th.
In their next at-bat, Carter McKinney’s run-scoring single pulled the Marshals even, and they took the lead for good on a two-run error in the bottom of the 5th.
A two-out RBI single by Trigg’s Mac McCormick cut the margin in half in the 6th, but Marshall’s Chase Hayden came on in the 7th and retired the Wildcats to seal the win.
Haydon Reynolds took the loss, allowing nine unearned runs on six hits with six walks and three strikeouts.
Kannon Dunn earned the win for the Marshals, giving up two earned runs on three hits with a trio of walks and two strikeouts.
Up next, the Wildcats open 8th-District play with a visit from Livingston Central on Tuesday.

Sad that my son Mac McCormick is only listed as "tacked on 2 rbi in fielder error" ok some say the ball hit the tip of his glove but either way he hit a line drive to left field 343 yds and bummed into the wall w a thud loud enough we all could hear it… w a double and scored in 2 rbi… so if that tipped his glove doesn’t change the fact of my son did a fantastic job…so should get some credit
Both Trigg County and Marshall County scored it as an error. It didn’t say whether it went three feet or 343 yards as you pointed out. Sorry but we report how the games are scored, not what we want them to be.
