Biggest Game In Years




Crittenden County High School's baseball team lost 1-0 to Murray High in the Class A Sectional Championship Friday at Gordon Guess Field in Marion. 

Murray senior pitcher Bradley Cobb struck out 10 and pitched a no-hitter while Crittenden's Alex Wood threw a 4-hitter. Murray scored an unearned run in the sixth after a couple of errors.

It was the biggest baseball game played in Marion in many years. Murray (15-7) will advance to the state championship series next week. The Tigers left Marion after the win and headed to Louisville where they will play three games Saturday in the Louisville Invitational Tournament.

Crittenden (6-12) had never reached the sectional finals of the Class A until Friday.
