The Athens Bulldogs return to the diamond and on 970wath Thursday when they welcome the Zane Trace Pioneers to Rannow Field for the D2 sectional championship on The Plains. Nate Trainer pitched a 5 inning no hitter and Eli Kennedy was 4-for-4 at the plate as Athens downed Vinton County 10-0 in the semi-finals on Tuesday. Zane Trace meanwhile knocked off Gallia Academy 6-4 to pick up their 20th win of the season. Thursday’s sectional title game between Athens and Zane Trace and can be heard live on 970wath & 97.1FM or 970wath.com at 5:00.

Zane Trace used Farley(62 pitches) and Ison(90 pitches) on Tuesday. Even tho ZT used its ace they still have depth at pitching. Should be a good game

152 combined pitches???
Why?
Did the game go into extra innings?
That seems like a lot for a 7 inning game.

Not many called strikes from what I heard.

Yeah, surprised when I saw Ison struggled to throw strikes

Thanks for the info.

Be nice to get a little payback on the Pioneers, who just eliminated Athens a few months ago at the Convo. lol

ZT has won 11 of their last 13 games.
Also, fourth year in a row of 20 or more wins.
