Dublin… The Cougars ran into a buzz saw called the Blue Demons of Christiansburg. The Demons pounded out 16 hits enroute to a 10-1 victory over the homesteading Cougars.
Christiansburg (10-1) got three hits each from Ashton King and Nick Meadows. King also scored three runs and knocked in two. Meadows knocked in two and scored one. John Tuck was the starting and winning pitcher. He tossed four innings and gave up just two hits before being relieved by Corbin Vaught.
Pulaski Co. (5-6-1) could only produce four hits for the game. Those hits are credited to Grant Osteen, Andrew Lowe, Tyler Waddell and Camden Underwood. Their only run came in the bottom of the six as Osteen singled and stole second base. He moved up to third on a wild pitch and scored on Underwood ground out.
The Demons scored three runs in the first on two Cougar errors and then expanded their lead to 5-0 in the second. They then scored a single run in the fourth, three more in the fifth and one in the sixth for a 10-0 lead. Luke Durham, Alex Perkins and Alex Hylton all scored two runs each. All the Demon starters had at least one hit. They had six extra base hits and stole seven bases.
Cougar head coach Jared King remarked, ”They put a lot of pressure on us right from the start. They are a good ball club and hit the ball. I thought Anderson (Thomas) and Remington (Nathanael) pitched fairly well for us.“ Coach then said, ”It seemed like we were behind in the counts all game long. Christiansburg is playing at a very high level.“
Pulaski Co will be back at home tomorrow evening as they host the Spartans of Salem. First pitch is slated for 5 pm.
