The Owen County High School baseball team did something last week they did not do all of last year.
The Rebels knocked off the Wildcats of Henry County to pick up their first win in district play this season.
Things did not get off to a great start April 25.

The score remained 3-0 until the bottom of the third when Stone Osborne belted a home run to right-center field to cut the deficit to 3-1. It was the fifth long ball of the season for Osborne.
