Lady Bearcats slip by Lafayette
Anderson County, ranked 11th statewide, slipped past No. 13 Lafayette, 4-2, Monday night in Lexington.
The Lady Bearcats plated three runs – two unearned – in the second inning then held on for the win. Karrah Bottoms delivered the big hit, a two-run single that scored Kritty Morrow and courtesy runner K.K. Fitzpatrick. Brooke Collins, who had singled, came on to score on an error.
Anderson added another run in the sixth when Morrow got caught in a rundown between first and second, but prolonged things long enough for Fitzpatrick to score again.

Poor defense wastes strong pitching performance
No. 10 Scott County ends Lady Bearcat win string at 12
Errors, both mental and physical, cost the 11th-ranked Anderson County softball team as No. 10 Scott County posted a 2-1 win over the Lady Bearcats last Thursday in Georgetown.
Anderson pitcher Courtney Turpin gave up just four hits and struck out seven.
“We made three errors in the first inning and Scott scored a run,” Anderson coach Brian Glass said. Scott scored again in the third on a dropped fly ball.
The Anderson bats had a difficult time too, getting only two hits, a pair of doubles from Chelsea Bright.

THE SPORTS BUZZ for May 7: Who are the best baseball players and teams in Anderson County history?
Several times during the current baseball season, I have had discussions about the best players to take the diamond in Anderson County history. This sports buzz is simple: Who are the best you have seen? And who are the best opponent's you have seen?
From this corner, picking the best Anderson baseball players is difficult. There have been no true superstars to come through Anderson County, although one, Matt McWilliams, appeared to be heading that way until arm problems ended his career.

Lefty goes distance as Bearcats beat regional foe; hot Brown burns Owen
DeLong dominates Rebels
Kyle DeLong wasn’t overpowering. Owen County just couldn’t hit him Friday night.
The junior left-hander scattered five hits and struck out nine as homestanding Anderson County routed its regional rival, 9-1.
DeLong gave up an unearned run in the first, then was in complete control the rest of the way. At one point he retired 10 straight batters and did not issue a walk as he went the distance for the newly-ranked Bearcats.
