Cougars drop twin bill to West Rebels, slip to 0-2 in district play

By Jake Monday, Voice of the Cougars

KNOXVILLE, TN (WLAF) – Campbell County started district play 0-2 after dropping a twin bill on Wednesday on the road against West.

It was all the West Rebels show Wednesday night for a pair of makeup games from the snow Monday and freezing temperatures Tuesday. Game one’s final was 10-0 and game two of the doubleheader ended at 15-0; both victories for the Rebels.

The Cougars fought the freezing temperatures and tough pitching from their opposition. They tallied only a few hits in the first bout and were a combined no-hit in the second.

The pitching for CC through both games saw productive innings from Rylan Rice and Riley Gunter before West was able to tag them both for crooked numbers and big innings, respectively.
