Rebels on a roll

It was another week of good baseball for the Owen County High School Rebels. The Rebels won two more games to extend their winning streak to seven before finally losing a game on Saturday in the NCKC Tournament.
The Rebels began the week May 9 with a trip to Eminence to take on the Warriors.
Owen County would have little trouble picking up win number 14 as they won 14-3 in six innings. It was the third-straight win where the Rebels were able to close out the game in less than the regulation seven innings.
Owen County would return home on May 10 for a home game against Gallatin County in the NCKC Tournament.
On this night, the Rebels would need extra innings to dispatch of the Wildcats as they won 5-4 in nine innings. The win would extend the winning streak to seven games making it the longest such streak since 2006 when the Rebels run of nine-straight games early in the season.
Saturday, the streak would come to an end as Henry County would defeat Owen County 6-5 in the NCKC Tournament.
The loss would drop Owen County to 15-10 on the season.
The Rebels will look to begin another streak as they travel to Frankfort on Thursday before closing out the regular season on Monday by hosting Villa Madonna.
