  • Trimble drops rival game in final inning

    Trimble County Coach Walter McHargue lamented that his team couldn’t hold border rival Carroll County after the Lady Raiders let a three-run advantage evaporate and fell 8-7 in Carrollton Friday.

    Carroll lost to Trimble three times last year, twice during the regular season and during the All-A tournament, by a combined run total of 24-5. 

    Trimble opened the game with a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Carroll roared out of the gate in the bottom of the third to take a 4-1 lead.

    The outdoor temperature was almost better suited for a hockey match-up than a baseball game when the Carroll County Panthers came to do battle with the Trimble County Raiders on the baseball diamond Thursday.

    Spectators who braved the cold either snuggled in blankets on the aluminum bleachers or huddled by their car heaters as the boys of spring held a frost fest.
