The Neelyville Tigers entered the game with a 20-1 record and are ranked #1 in the Missouri Class 2 rankings.
Neelyville seemed confident to beat Dexter with a 9-14 record on the season. To their surprise the Bearcats were able to load the bases several times scoring 10 runs total for the afternoon.
The Tigers scored 4 runs in the first two innings, but the Bearcats proved to be stronger. Logan Northern scored the first run in the 3rd inning for the Bearcats on a hit by Brad Potts.
The Bearcats were able to even the score 4 to 4 in the the 4th. By the 5th inning it was tied again 5 to 5. Five more runs in the 5th gave the Bearcats the momentum to keep on hitting! The Tigers didn't know what hit them. The Tigers never scored again and it was 10 - 5 Bearcats game!
Chase Young #3 was able to step up to the plate and bat. Unfortunately he did not get a hit, but way to go Chase! It's been a tough year for him with his basketball injury and not being able to play baseball. He is healing extremely well and will be back at the plate soon.
The crowd was on their feet cheering for Clarence Riddle who stood at the plate and took a few swings. Great kid and a great ball player. Way to go Clarence!
Final Score 10 - 5. What a great game for the Seniors of 2013!
