WCHS takes walk-off win
Reed's home run powers Pioneers past Panthers
Placeholder Image
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.
