HAMILTON/ELLISTOWN – Hamilton pitcher Trinity Jones has had a dominant season, but not even she could slow down East Union’s vaunted offense.
The Urchins’ five-run fourth inning propelled them to a 9-5 win over Hamilton on the road in Game 1 of their Class 2A semifinal series. Contributions throughout the lineup kept the Urchins’ lineup rolling on Thursday.
