  • 19th DISTRICT SOFTBALL...

    SPRINGFIELD — They had to fight back on two different occasions after trailing 3-0 in the third inning and 5-4 in the sixth, but Nelson County found a way to pull out a 7-6 district semifinal victory Tuesday at Washington County on Tuesday to return to the 19th District title game.

    Washington County had scored a run in the top of the seventh and had runners on second and third with no outs, but Nelson pitcher Bailey Parsons was able to wriggle out of the jam.

  • 19th DISTRICT BASEBALL...

    SPRINGFIELD — Bethlehem came into the 19th District baseball tournament red-hot, winning five of its last six games.

    It’s a stretch of momentum that has carried over from 2012, with the defending district champion Eagles parlaying last season’s success into this year’s 27-win campaign, one of the most successful in school history.

    Still, Bethlehem coach Roger Robinson said his team feels like it hasn’t been getting the respect it deserves.

    SPRINGFIELD — Nelson County’s Jared Proctor struck out eight of the 15 batters he faced Tuesday, and delivered a key two-run double during a four-run fourth inning to break open their 19th District baseball semifinal with Bardstown on the way to an 8-0 win.

    “We came out here really focused,” Proctor said. “We knew what it would take to win this. My teammates were really into it.”

    Aaron Yarmuth fired a 6-under 65 on Saturday and that score held up through play on Sunday as the son of Louisville congressman John Yarmuth claimed top honors in last weekend’s Bourbon Open Golf Tournament at My Old Kentucky Home Golf Course.

    “It was a 65 that didn’t feel a lot differently than a 75,” he said on Monday. “It was just one of those rounds where the putts went in.”

  • 19th DISTRICT BASEBALL...

    SPRINGFIELD — Bardstown captured its school-record 18th win Monday in the opening round of the 19th District baseball tournament in perhaps as nerve-wracking and thrilling a manner as possible.

    The Tigers got the scare of their lives from one-win Thomas Nelson, needing 11 innings to dispatch the upstart Generals, finally getting through with a 5-4 win on senior Lincoln Doan’s walk-off single. Doan also doubled and scored a run during a three-run fifth inning.

    SPRINGFIELD — Bardstown looked like it was in control of its first-round game Monday in the 19th District softball tournament.

    The Tigers had gotten to Thomas Nelson pitching for a run apiece in each of the first three innings and appeared to be cruising along behind veteran Haley Mattingly, who had allowed just one hit through the first four.
