  • Freshmen whip North Hardin and...

    The LaRue County freshman baseball team hosted an invitational last weekend in Hodgenville blanking both North Hardin and Marion County. The Hawks’ only loss was to Male High School.

    In the six-inning format, LaRue’s game with North Hardin was called 10-0 in four innings because of the mercy rule. The Hawks benefited from the aggressive pitching of Kyle Meredith who threw a two-hit shutout.

    Freshman Stephen Carter was 1-1 with two walks complimented by teammate Jesse Johnson who was 3-3 at the plate scoring three runs.
