The Putnam County Midgets will take on the South Harrison Bulldogs at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Neither Putnam County nor South Harrison posted many runs in their last games, so it might be the pitching crews that decide this one.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Putnam County and Trenton meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Midgets sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 victory over the Bulldogs.
Rory Gilworth spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up 17 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
