The Bethlehem Eagles/Banshees will head out to face off against the Boyle County Rebels at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Bethlehem is headed out to face Boyle County after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Bethlehem blew past North Bullitt 14-4 on Tuesday. The Eagles/Banshees haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Emmalee Hettinger spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on six hits and racked up 12 Ks.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Finley Stone, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and four RBI. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in hits. The team also got some help courtesy of Amelia Lamkin, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Meanwhile, Boyle County had to endure a six-game losing streak dating back to last season, but that streak is no more. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Tates Creek 12-10. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.
Bethlehem skirted past Boyle County 6-4 when the teams last played back in April of 2024. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bethlehem since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
