Redhounds remain red-hot, capture seventh win in a row

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — They might be playing in a different state but the Corbin Redhounds continue to remain red-hot. 

Cody Philpot’s squad ran its season-best win streak to seven games on Tuesday, delivering Muhlenberg County a 10-4 loss.

Corbin (9-2) trailed 1-0 until the third inning when the Redhounds played two runs to take a 2-1 edge.

Philpot’s squad added five runs in the fourth inning, pushing its advantage to 7-1, and never looked back.

Bradric Helton turned in a perfect 2-for-2 effort at the plate while connecting with a home run, and a double. He drove in two runs, and scored twice.

Helton also notched the win in the mound, scattering two hits while striking out 11 batters.

“Bradric battled some adversity on the mound and threw really well,” Philpot said. “Walker had a good day at the plate, and as a team, we executed much better today offensively. The goal is to improve daily, win or lose, and so far, I think we’re doing that.”

Walker Landrum had three hits, finishing with two RbI while scoring once. Clayton Botner finished with a hit, two RBI, and a run scored while Cooper McCauley delivered a hit, and scored once. Noah Cima had a double and scored once while Mikey Neal connected with a run-scoring hit. Kade Elam drove a run in while Cam Estep finished with a run scored.
