Worth County's machine pitch kids were off to a hot start, winning two and dropping one, to King City which consists of eight and nine year old boys. Most machine pitch teams in the area have eight year olds and play both boys and girls. Worth County played King City tough, but fell short in the end. Northeast Nodaway won their first two games this year with nearly the entire second grade class, 16 players, participating. That will give the Bluejays hope for the future sometime down the road. They came in undefeated, but Worth County got off to a hot start Wednesday and got the 10-3 win.
In Worth County's five run first, Luke Riley, Kade Adams, Alayna Roush, Ira Fletchall, and Ellie Maudlin all got singles, while Thiel Dalton got a double that brought in two. For NEN, Beckam Kennard got the final out when he tagged a runner out at third base.
The Bluejays tried to rally back in the second. Reece Thummel gave one a long ride down the right field line just foul before he got a base hit. Newton Adwell beat out a scratch hit, and Cambry Allen and Ryker Moore drove in runs to cut it to 5-3. Jasmine Garnett scalded one hard, but right at Tiger first baseman Kade Adams, who stepped on first to preserve the Tiger lead.
Sophia Combs, Like Riley, and Kade Adams all got hits in the Tiger second as Worth County extended its lead to 7-3. Bluejay first baseman Mason Olson stepped on first ahead of Alayna Roush to get the Bluejays out of the inning.
Northeast looked like it was making noise in the third as Payton Norman got a two out single and Beckam Kennard hit an apparent hit into center field. But center fielder Sophia Combs came racing in from center, charged the ball, and beat Norman to the bag for the third out to keep Northeast scoreless.
Thiel Dalton got the hit of the day for the Tigers, a double into the gap in right center, to lead off the Tiger third. That opened up the floodgates as Ira Fletchall, Ellie Maudlin, Elaina Moad, Sophia Combs, and Hudson DeBord all got hits to make it 10-3.
