Meanwhile, Washington County narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past East Jessamine 3-2. That's two games straight that the Commanders have won by just one run.
Camden Abell made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out six batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits (and not a single walk). He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Washington County is 2-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 1-2 otherwise. Abell was also big at the plate, going 3-for-6 with one double and one RBI. That RBI marked the first that he brought in this season.
Abell wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Andrew Mackin, who went 1-for-5 with one stolen base and one RBI. That stolen base was Mackin's first of the season.
The victory made it two in a row for Hart County and bumps their season record up to 2-3-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Washington County, the victory got them back to even at 3-3.
