Clarksville National 9-10’s no-hit in state tournament loss to Goodlettsville

Little League BaseballGoodlettsville, TN – Clarksville Nationals 9-10 year old baseball team ran into a buzz saw, July 15th in the Little League State Tournament at Moss-Wright Park, as they were no-hit by host team Goodlettsville National in a 17-0 loss.

Managing only four base runners in the contest, Clarksville National’s best chance of scoring came in the bottom of the first inning where it drew two of its four walks in the game.

After a strikeout, Collin Pedigo walked giving Clarksville National runners it first and third with one out.

But that would be as close as they would get to getting a run on the board, with Doughty getting tagged out at the plate on the front end of a double-steal attempt, while Patton Samuels popped up to third base to end the inning.

Cameron Greathouse and Caleb Bowman were the only other Clarksville National batters to reach base on walks in the second and fourth innings respectively.
