FRANKLIN FURANCE — And the beat goes on.
The Green Bobcats used the pitching of brothers Tayte and Trevor Carver to help beat the Eastern Eagles on Thursday to remain unbeaten in the Southern Ohio Conference.
Green is now 8-2 overall and 5-0 in the SOC.
“Tayte pitched well, Tanner pitched well and it was a well-played ball game,” said Green coach Dan McDavid.
“Eastern has a pretty good team. We’re just glad to get another league win.”

Tyler Darnell singled and scored on Tayte Carver’s double off the fence. Hayden Whitis reached on a dropped fly ball as Carver scored.
Eastern tied the game in the fourth when they got all their hits.
Clay Martin singled, Parker Clemmons double for a run and Dalton Tomlison had an RBI single.
Green got what proved to be the winning run in the bottom of the inning with two outs when Tanner Kimbler, Darnell and Tayte Carver all singled.
