Disappointing week
for Rebels
By

The Owen County baseball
team did not repeat as All “A” Champs for the 8th
Region. The Rebels fell to Carroll County 2-1 on Thursday in Owenton.
Both teams battled the elements and it took its toll on both offenses.
Owen County managed only three hits in the game while Michael
Ogden limited the Panthers to just two base runners through the
first six innings. Each of the runners ended up being picked off
base by Ogden.
The only scoring in the game came in the seventh inning. Carroll
County was able to push across both runs on just two hits. One
run scored on a Rebel error and the other scored when a Panther
was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The Rebels were able
to score a run in the bottom of the seventh on a Carroll County
error. It was not enough.
“We just didn’t hit,” said Coach Robert Osborne.
He talked about the cold weather, but said it was cold for both
teams. Owen County managed to get the lead-off hitter on base
in both the first and third innings, but neither runner made it
past second base.
Owen County opened up last week by defeating Grant County 8-0
on April 9. Jared Perkins hit his second grand slam of the season
in the fourth inning to break the game open. Perkins also had
an RBI double in the first inning to get the scoring started.
The senior also scored three runs. Trey Lenear was the winning
pitcher. Lenear pitched the first five innings striking out eight
and allowing one hit. Michael Ogden pitched the final two innings
allowing no hits and striking out three.
The Rebels traveled to Anderson County on April 10 where they
were defeated 13-3. Anderson County scored four runs in both the
first and second innings and then closed out the game by scoring
four runs in the bottom of the fifth. Perkins continued his solid
season at the plate by hitting a two-run double in the third inning.
Matt Harris drove in the Rebels’ other run.
Owen County now has five wins on the season with two losses. The
Rebels will be in action at Williamstown at 5 p.m. on Thursday
and at home on Saturday when they battle Henry County.

Raiders were not polite guests. Trimble County defeated Owen County
7-0.

five more runs in the third. All five runs crossed the plate after
the Lady Rebels had recorded two outs. The Lady Raiders added
another run in the fifth inning.
Owen County was held to three hits. Jensen Wainscott and Cassie
Hamilton singled to begin the third inning but the Lady Rebels
were unable to drive them home. Hamilton added another single

on the season.
