Glasgow played a pair of games over the weekend in the 2A Baseball State Tournament. The Scotites opened with a 2-0 win over Johnson Central, then got knocked out with a 14-1 loss to Whitley County. Whitley beat LaRue County, 4-0, in the tournament title game.
Against Johnson Central, Glasgow scored both of its runs in the top of the fourth inning. Carter Hodges — who was the winning pitcher — hit a one-out single. Cooper Hatton entered to run for him and later raced to third on an error by the Golden Eagles’ pitcher. He later scored on a wild pitch during Thomas Glass’ at-bat. Glass eventually drew a walk.
Glass moved to second on a ground out by Landon Martin. He scored on a single by Huson Haynes.
That was all of the run support Hodges needed. He pitched a one-hitter through seven innings and struck out six. He walked two.
Huston Haynes led the Scotties at the plate with two hits. Glass, Hodges, and Steven Garrett each had a hit.
