Trigg County's April swoon has carried over into May as the Wildcats were beaten 12-2 Monday at the Princeton VFW Park. The loss was Trigg's sixth in their last nine games and dropped their record to 11-12 on the season.
Caldwell scored five runs in the third inning, four in the fifth, and three more in the sixth inning to end it. However, Wildcat head coach Jackie Sholar wasn't around to see the final seven runs scored by the Tigers.
Sholar was ejected in the fourth inning for arguing a pickoff play at third base when he felt like the Wildcats made the play and should have been rewarded with the out call.
"It was the first time I had been kicked out of a game since Little League," Sholar said. As a result of the ejection, he will not be allowed to coach Trigg's game with Christian County today.
Trigg took a 1-0 lead when Jamey Guinn's fielder's choice grounder scored Donald Bush. Trigg added a run in the third inning when Guinn singled home Mitch Rogers. Then Caldwell began their onslaught.
Jake Pepper had three hits for Caldwell County and picked up the win on the mound, giving up seven hits in six innings. He didn't walk anyone and he didn't register a strikeout.
Donald Bush had two of Trigg County's seven hits.
Ben Dillingham hit a solo home run for the Tigers, who improve to 11-9 on the season.
Trigg County will host Christian County today at the Complex in a 5:30pm contest.
