The Pleasant Home Eagles fell behind in the first inning, but battled back to knock off Monroe County 14-4 on Tuesday night in Pleasant Home.

In the top of the first inning, Pleasant Home starting pitcher Walt Weaver got two quick outs before a walk and a single led to a Monroe County run.

The Eagles got two quick outs to start the bottom of the first inning before Joe Gibbs got things going with a double to left field.

Garrett Barton followed with an infield single, and then Aaron Warthen put the Eagles up 2-1 with a two-run double to right.

Mason Kelley replaced Weaver on the mound in the top of the second inning and after giving up a leadoff single, Kelley struck out the next three batters.

However before the third strikeout, an error on a third on a steal attempt allowed Monroe County to tie the game 2-2.

Justin Gibbs singled in the bottom of the second inning and later came around to score on a double steal to put the Eagles up 3-2.

In the bottom of the third inning, Joe Gibbs reached first with his second hit and his courtesy runner J Hawkins moved up to third when Barton reached on an error by the Monroe County second baseman.
