Maysville Hands Trenton GRC Loss

Bulldogs Have Tying Run On Deck, But Wolverines Hold On

Madi Stillwell was insistent after her team finished at the bottom of the Cameron Tournament that her team could compete with any of the teams that were at the event.
On Thursday, Trenton fell 8-4 to the team that won the Cameron Tournament – the Maysville Wolverines. In a game that was close throughout the night, Trenton had the tying run in the on-deck circle when the game ended.
It turns out Stillwell wasn’t that far off with her feelings after the Cameron Tournament.
“Our girls fought hard and came up short,” Trump said after the loss to Maysville. “We made a couple of mental mistakes that cost us, but it was still a good ball game. Maysville won the Cameron Tournament so it was good to see we can compete with them and any team that was at Cameron.”
Trenton found itself in a precarious situation early on Thursday as Maysville put runners on second and third base with no one out in the top of the first inning. A lineout, popout and fly ball to left field would end the threat with no damage done, however.
Trenton wouldn’t be able to replicate that escape act all night, though. Maysville scored three runs in the top of the second and Trenton was chasing from that point on.
The Bulldogs plated two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings, the two in the fifth answering a run in the top of the frame by the Wolverines to tie the game at 4-4.Maysville’s second three-run inning of the night was a back-breaker, though, and an insurance run in the top of the seventh pushed the Wolverine lead to 8-4.
Trenton came back with one final shot. The Bulldogs put runners at second and third with two outs, but Maysville picked up the third out before Trenton could scratch any runs across.
Madi Moore was 2-for-4 at the plate with a run scored and two RBIs. Chandler Lynch was 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored and Gracyn Rongey and Teya Cooksey each had two hits as well. Morgan King drove in one run for Trenton.
Emma Roberts took the loss on the hill, allowing eight runs on 17 hits and three walks without a strikeout.
The loss was the first conference defeat of the year for the Bulldogs and dropped them to 1-1 in league play and 2-6 overall.
