Trigg County lost a doubleheader Saturday, losing both games at Union County.
Trigg lost to Union County 6-5 in the first game and 14-0 to Owensboro in the second game.
The loss to Union County overshadowed an unassisted triple play turned by Wildcat shortstop Donald Bush, who caught a line drive, tagged the runner before he got back to second base, and applied the tag to the runner from first base who was running on the pitch.
Trigg County scored three times in the seventh inning to tie the game at 5-5. Bush had an RBI double, and Jamey Guinn followed with an RBI single to force the tie.
Union County (11-16) scored their winning run in the bottom of the seventh after two were out. Two errors and two singles plated the winning run for the Braves.
Trigg outhit Union 12-7 but committed four errors on the day.
R.J. Sholar had two singles and a double, while Guinn, Bush, and Mitch Rogers each had two hits for the Wildcats.
Will Stagner took the loss on the mound for the Wildcats.
In the second game, also played at Union County, Owensboro scored six times in the first inning and six more in the fourth to win 14-0.
"It just wasn't a good day for us. We're going backward instead of forward," said Wildcat head coach Jackie Sholar. "Our defense is killing us right now. We've been working on it, but it just hasn't been coming around."
Trigg had four more errors against Owensboro after a four-error output earlier in the day against Union County.
The Wildcats were held to three hits on the afternoon -- singles by Mitch Rogers, Donald Bush, and R.J. Sholar.
The Wildcats fell to 11-15 with the loss and will host Dawson Springs for Senior Night Monday at the Complex.
