Kade Cowan had a monster night in Floyd County last Tuesday as he torched Indian pitching with four hits and five RBIs. Cowan had two singles to go with a three-run homer in the third inning and a solo blast in the seventh.

The Trojans finished the game with 14 hits.

Genter finished 2 for 3 on the afternoon with a two-run single in the first inning. Garren Ramey was 3 for 4 with a pair of RBIs. Holt Roberts had a hit and drove in two. Bo Rhudy was 2 for 5 and scored three times. Nate Dunfee had a hit and scored three runs, while Tyler Forester also had a single.

Tanner Wilson was the beneficiary of the run support. He threw all seven innings, giving up two earned runs on five hits and three walks. He finished with eight strikeouts on the afternoon.

The Trojans followed up this past Thursday by blanking the Indians at home.

Rhudy launched a grand slam in the bottom of the first inning and Gordon Lee would never look back. The junior also gave up just three hits and a walk on the mound and struck out nine to get the shortened complete-game victory.

Garren Ramey drove in a run with a double in the bottom of the second and later scored on a two-run single by Roberts. Then in the fifth, Gordon Lee got a run home on an Indian error before Dunfee added a solo shot to end the game on the run rule.

Roberts, Ramey, Wilson and Cooper Jackson each went 2 for 3, while Aiden Goodwin picked up a single.

The Trojans polished off the sweep back in Floyd County on Friday night.

Wilson singled and scored on an error in the top of the second inning to put the visitors on top. One inning later, Ramey delivered an RBI-double and scored on a two-out single by Roberts.

Three more runs came home in the top of the fourth. Wilson and Jackson began the inning with singles, while an error set the table for Goodwin, who came through with an RBI-single. Ramey later drew a walk with the bases loaded and Rhudy brought in a run with a sacrifice fly.

A solo homer by Dunfee in the top of the sixth capped the scoring.

Goodwin started the game and pitched the first 4.2 innings. He allowed one unearned run on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts. Ramey threw the last 2.1 innings, surrendering one hit and striking out three.

Jackson and Cowan had three hits apiece, while Wilson and Ramey each added two as part of the Trojans’ 13-hit night.

Gordon Lee (7-7 overall) moved to 5-0 in region play. They were scheduled to participate in a tournament at Chattanooga Central, starting on Wednesday of this week.
