INSIDE THE PARK HOMERUN.

That’s 4.3 speed folks.

Tyler Fryman whacks one to right center and rounds the bases. There’s speed and then there’s next level speed.

Beechwood 5, West Jessamine 0 here in the top of the 7th.

Beechwood @BeechwoodTigers scored its 2 runs in the 4th after a brief squirrel stoppage. It ran in from left center and toward the Beechwood dugout. Rally Squirrel? 🤔 🐿️ @KHSAA State ⚾️ Tournament 1st Rd.

West Jessamine @WJColtsBaseball escaped the possibility of a big inning in the 4th when Kellen Dziki turned this squeeze play pop up into a double play. Colts trail 2-0. Now going T5 @KHSAA State ⚾️ Tournament 1st Rd

[Jared Peck @HLpreps]

Beechwood @BeechwoodTigers on the board after a leadoff single by Sawyer Carlisle. A couple of botched pickoff plays put runners in scoring position. One set up this Zach True RBI single. Another teed up another RBI hit for Jackson Mando. Tigers up 2-0 M4. @KHSAA State ⚾️ 1st Rd

[Evan Dennison @EvanDennison1]

Mid 3rd: Beechwood 0, West Jessamine 0

Luke Brauch with a leadoff single and is sacrificed over to second, but a pair of groundouts to short ends the frame.
