Jon Reed channeled his inner Neil Walker Monday night at Patrick Ramsey Field.Much like the Pittsburgh Pirate second baseman who opened play in Major League Baseball Monday with a walk-off home run, Reed was the hero for the Warren County High School baseball team when he blasted a game-winning home run over the left-field fence to lift the Pioneers past Stone Memorial 7-5. Reed’s homer was the culmination of a six-run seventh inning for Warren County as the team improved its overall record to 7-7 and evened its District 6-AAA record at 3-3.The Pioneers, who lost 13-11 to the Panthers in the preseason District 6-AAA tournament, looked destined to fall again in district play when the seventh inning started with Stone Memorial leading 5-1. To that point, Warren County had collected five hits, but produced only one run courtesy of a RBI single by freshman Isaac Golden in the fifth inning.Golden was the lead-off batter in the bottom of the seventh, but he struck out as the Pioneers were left two outs away from another district loss.
