Fourth PLace

The Corbin Redhounds ended their stay in Hilton Head with a 9-2 loss to the Wolfpack of Wolfson High School, Jacksonville, Fla.

The Redhounds opened the game with a double by lead off hitter Josh Coppock then didn’t get another hit until top of the seventh when the game was pretty much settled. Wolfson pitcher Tyler Angle retired the seven batters before Drew Farley drew a walk, but was thrown out trying to steal second. Angle struck out the next eight batters.

The Wolfpack broke open the game in the bottom of the fifth with five runs on three base hits, a fielder’s choice and two intentional walks. Wolfson added two runs in the bottom of the sixth for a 9-0 lead.

Corbin broke into the scoring column in the top of the seventh when Vinnie Hoover hit into an infield error. Trace Vorbeck followed with a triple down the left field line to get Hoover across the plate. Vorbeck scored on a double by Ben House.

The Redhounds will be back in action Monday when they meet the South Laurel Cardinals in a district game. The two teams will play Tuesday as well.
