The Tigers were able to jump out to an early 1-0 lead after Huntt surrendered a solo homerun.  He was able to limit the damage to only that and escaped the inning.  The Lions went down quietly again in the second.

Campbellsville threatened to extend their lead in the third, but Huntt was able to strand two runners.  The Lions could not put anything together to score.

The Tigers were able to scratch another run across in the top of the fourth.  The new score was 2-0.  The Lions' bats stayed silent.
