Greene County dropped to 9-20 on the high school baseball season with a 12-2 loss in five innings by the 10-run rule to Carroll High on Friday night at Allensworth Field in Jefferson. The Tigers are 13-14 and they won both meetings this season with Greene County.

The Rams led 1-0 just three batters into the bottom of the first after Austin Delp reached on an error, a bunt single by Tyler Teeples and a Nick Breon run scoring double. A strikeout, a missed squeeze bunt resulting in an out, and a ground ball to the pitcher, ended the threat, and it was all Carroll after that. The Tigers put four on the board in the second, two in the third, five in the fourth and one in the fifth. The second run for Greene County came in the fourth on a Breon leadoff double and a Joe Anderson RBI two-base hit.

Carroll had 11 hits and one error, while Greene County had four hits and five errors. Spots five through eight in the Tigers’s batting order were especially troublesome with those batters collecting eight hits, getting on base 12 times and scoring nine runs.

Brent Riley took the pitching loss after going the first 3-2/3 innings on the mound. David Richter went the final 1-1/3. Six of Carroll’s runs were earned.

The contest was the last at home for Greene County seniors Anderson, Austin Delp, Clay Smith, and Richter. The regular season for Coach John Hupp’s Rams continues on Monday with a game vs. Bondurant-Farrar in Bondurant.
