Madisonville Pirates 15, Fulton Railroaders 4

Tradewater put it all together in a 15-4 victory over Fulton at home Monday evening, as starter and winner Dillon Endecott threw six innings of 4 hit ball, with just one earned run and 6 strikeouts. He received able relief assistance from Chad Cox and closer Corey Ames.

The Pirates produced two big innings, with seven runs in the second, and five in the eighth, on a night that saw them rap 15 hits. Cody Hyden had a big home run, was 2-3; Blake Massey was 2-4 with 2 ribbies; and Buddy Elgin produced 2 ribbies, with a 4-5 night.

Pirate right-fielder Joe Black came up big as well, with a 3-5 night and 2 ribbies, and provided some fireworks, going all the way around the bases following his bunt, that produced a throw-away, allowing Joe to go...go...go...all the way home..... and Logan Leverett had trifecta RBI's.

The Pirates now float down to Fulton to meet a band of angry Roaders, Tuesday night.
