Placeholder Image
Any thoughts of the Warren County High School baseball team’s season ending Saturday in the opening round of the District 6-AAA tournament ended about the time Chayse Frye’s first-inning home run went over of the fence.Frye’s long ball started an offensive onslaught by the Pioneers that would help the team take out the Rhea County Eagles 11-1 in five innings at Patrick Ramsey Field.Knowing it was a win-or-go-home game, Warren County jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Frye’s homer was a catalyst, as was a seven-run second inning for the Pioneers.Frye stepped to the plate with two outs and Park Hilliard standing at second base following a walk and stolen base. The big lefty worked the count to 2-2 against Michael Garrison before jumping on the fifth pitch.
