Crittenden County fell behind early and lost 13-1 to defending champion Christian County in Monday's Second Region Tournament quarterfinal matchup at Morganfield.

Despite the loss, the Rockets went 18-17, were close to setting a school record in wins this season and had one of the team's few winning seasons since 1980. Senior Payton Riley was also close to the school record in stolen bases.
