8 Years Ago Today – June 16, 2017


Simon Kenton punches its ticket to the KHSAA State Baseball Championship Game with a gritty 5-2 win over Marion County. Locked in a 2-2 battle in the bottom of the sixth, Joey Ponder delivers a clutch, perfectly placed bunt down the third base line, bringing home Brayden Trattles with the go-ahead run. The unranked Pioneers continue their underdog run and will now face #4-ranked Pleasure Ridge Park in the state finals tomorrow.
