Gallatin American Legion 12U 7
Smith County 12U 1
On Monday, June 29th, the 12U Area 2 Tournament began at the beautiful Jackie Underwood Memorial Field as Smith County hosted the Gallatin American Legion All Stars. A combination of timely hitting and solid pitching proved to be more than enough for Gallatin in this one.
Gallatin started the scoring with two in the first to take a 2-0 lead to the second. They then pushed across two more in the second to make it 4-0. Smith County cut it to 4-1 in the fourth when they pushed across a run, but once again Gallatin responded with a three run fifth to win the contest 7-1.
Gallatin pitcher Hayden Minor was phenomenal on the mound. The 12 year old righty tossed a complete game no hitter, striking out eight, and walking three.
Smith County pitcher Zeke Dillon was phenomenal as well he worked five innings, striking out nine, giving up three hits, and walking three.
Gallatin was led at the plate by James Mason who had two hits. Hayden Minor and Jay Adams followed Adams with one hit each. Minor blasted a big three run homer over the left field wall to seal the contest 7-1 in the fifth.
