Bell County’s impressive start to the season continued on Friday when the team traveled to LMU’s Lamar Hennon Field to play a doubleheader against Hancock County and Jellico, Tennessee.

Neither game was particularly close as the Bobcats eased their way to victory over both teams by a combined score of 22-4. The two victories extends Bell County’s current winning streak to six games.

Game 1: Bell County 9, Jellico 1

The Bobcats jumped out to a six-run lead early against Jellico and coasted to a 9-1 victory in five innings.

It was a good day at the plate for Bell County as the team finished with eight hits. Antonio Zachery led the Bobcats going 2-for-2 with four RBIs and one run. Jacob Smith tallied two runs and two RBIs on two hits. DJ Estes and Jordan Wombles also finished the day with two runs.
