If old-school pitching duels are what you like, then Patrick Ramsey Field was not the place for you Thursday night. Warren County and Tullahoma took part in a slugfest, combining for 21 runs and 28 hits.At the end, it came down to the Pioneers’ pitching battling out of a number of late jams to preserve an 11-10 win over the Wildcats to end a five-game losing streak.Warren County (5-10) found itself down by as many as three runs twice in the early innings, but always came back with an answer.By the time junior Connor Dixon stepped on the mound though, Tullahoma was threatening to take back the lead in the bottom of the seventh.Dixon was given the chore of relieving Derek Brumley in the seventh with the bases loaded and one out with the Pioneers leading 11-9.Coach Joey Haston’s closer looked shaky when he faced his first batter, giving up a walk to make it 11-10.Dixon regained his composure however, striking out the next batter looking to get his team one out away from a big win.Dixon got the final out, but not before the entire fanbase held its collective breath. Dixon’s 0-1 pitch to Justice Sheffield was hit on a line into right field.
