Carsen Corzine struck out 9 and went the distance, as the Taylorville Tornadoes beat the Warrensburg Lathom Cardinals 6-0 in Taylorville on Monday night in a non-conference matchup. The Tornadoes got the scoring early as they put up two runs in the first inning courtesy of a base hit from Peyton DeMichael and Kenzley Heimsness.  Hope Kietzman helped score a run thanks a sacrifice, and the Tornadoes took a 2-0 lead into the second inning. 

The Cardinals got a runner to 3rd, in four seperate innings, but could not scrape across a run.  The Tornadoes finally broke the game open in the fifthth as they sent 8 to the plate and pushed four runs across the plate including four hits including a huge double from DeMichael and a base hit from Hope Kietzman that saw her standing at second after a wild throw to first to try to nail Carsen Corzine who scored on the play. The Cardinals finally got out of the inning but not before they found themselves down 6-0.

The game ended on a wild sequence, when a double from Krissy Wilber on a hot shot line drive down the third base, saw Wilber streak from first to second.  She crossed second and went to third but realized she wasn't going to make it--turned around and headed back to second but a great heads up throw from Hope Kietzman got her picked off second to end the game. 

Taylorville improves to 8-2.  Warrensburg Latham falls to 7-8.  Carsen Corzine was named the Nicole Patrick Country Financial Player of the Game.
