  • BASEBALL: Bearcats look to move on after Spencer rolls

    TAYLORSVILLE – About all Anderson County could do was tip their hats to Spencer County and move on last Friday.

    The Bears took advantage of seven Anderson walks, another hit batter and two Anderson errors to post an 11-1 five-inning win in a game rescheduled from a day earlier because of rain.

    Spencer collected only seven hits – just one of those for extra bases, but waited out Anderson starter Brandon Eliadis for seven walks to notch its first win over the Bearcats since 2009.

  • BASEBALL: Four Western Hills pitchers deflate Bearcats

    FRANKFORT – The walk from the right field corner back to the Anderson County dugout was slow and painful last Tuesday.

    “They are a little deflated right now,” Bearcat baseball coach L.W. Barnes said following the team meeting to discuss a 5-0 loss at Western Hills.  “We had been playing really good baseball and then didn't get the job done today.”

    Cotton, Anderson's starting pitcher, gave up two earned runs – one of those might have been a bit of a fluke – and six hits over four innings.

  • COLUMN: No home field advantage for Bearcat baseball

    You have heard of the home field advantage, but what about the home field non-advantage?

    That is the case for several Anderson County High School sports teams right now. If you want to put the most positive spin on things, it's not good.

    Truthfully, it is an embarrassment to the programs, the school and Anderson County.

    If you have been following Bearcat baseball this spring, you know that as of April 16, Anderson has not had a home baseball game yet. That is over a month since the start of the 2013 season.
