Kaden Downen made a splash, not allowing a single hit and allowing only two earned runs while striking out nine over 4.2 innings pitched. He was up against Hardin County and has quite the history against that squad, as he also had a great game the last time he faced them back in March of 2024. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with two or fewer hits. This season, Downen has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 3.63 over 17.1 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.372/0.471/0.698 with 13 runs and just as many RBI, plus 12 stolen bases.
Coming up, Downen and Gallatin County will challenge Galatia/Thompsonville at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Downen had to take a loss the last time the two teams duked it out, losing their game back in March 3-1. If he drops another game like that, the outcome could be different this time around.
