Harrodsburg

HARRODSBURG - Lincoln County coach Brad McNew knew he could not beat Mercer County with just one or two pitchers. So the Patriots used a pitcher an inning for the first seven innings Friday, and took advantage of an eighth inning Mercer County error to pull off a 6-5 upset win over the No. 24 Titans. “It's respect to Mercer County. You look at what they've done this year, they've put up a lot of runs. When we left Pulaski County last night (after a 2-0 loss) I told the coaches on the bus, we'll throw the house tonight and see what happens,” McNew said.

Betty Royalty , 68, of Harrodsburg, died today. Arrangements are pending Alexander & Royalty Funeral Home, Harrodsburg.
