A fast start and a big third inning proved too much for Shelbyville to overcome Tuesday night, as Tullahoma rolled to an 11-5 win over the Eagles.

The Wildcats set the tone early with a four-run first inning, then broke the game open with five more runs in the third, building a cushion Shelbyville couldn’t erase.

Creek Wood – 2, Shelbyville Central – 1

Shelbyville did enough to win most nights, but one late swing proved the difference Friday evening as Creek Wood pushed across two runs in the bottom of the seventh to hand the Eagles a 2-1 loss in a tightly contested.

The Eagles carried a 1-0 lead into the final inning, but couldn’t find the final three outs as the Red Hawks capitalized on late opportunities to walk it off.

Shelbyville’s pitching staff was sharp for most of the night.

Kaleb Maillet set the tone with 4.2 scoreless innings, allowing just three hits while striking out five. Stephen Bobo followed with 1.1 innings of dominant relief, striking out four and keeping Creek Wood off the board to preserve the lead heading into the seventh. Blake Bone took the loss, giving up two runs on two hits while striking out one and walking three batters on 0.2 innings.

At the plate, Shelbyville pieced together steady offense but struggled to deliver the big hit. Bone and Bobo each collected two hits, while Elijah Westbrooks added a pair of hits of his own. Miles McCullough scored the Eagles lone run, and Bone drove in the team’s only RBI.

Shelbyville (20-6, 4-2), returns to action Monday with a road trip to Cookeville to open a key district series before hosting the Cavaliers on Tuesday. Both games are scheduled for 6:00 P.M.
