The Ohio Valley League regrettably must announce that the Muhlenberg County Stallions have withdrawn from the postseason championship tournament. While regrettable, following Muhlenberg's competitive season, this is the honorable and right decision ahead of the playoffs.

 

The Muhlenberg County Stallions were forced to make this decision due to player departures over the last three weeks.  Multiple players have left due to injury, recalls to their schools for some activity, or other personal reasons. The combination of these departures in such a short time created an untenable situation, especially on the remaining pitchers.   The team would have been able to play their game Thursday but they would have risked injury due to severe overuse of the remaining pitchers in a weekend series. Plus, they would not have had pitchers available next week if they won the first series.  Given their pitchers are already near their use limits, it would not have been a good representation of baseball or our League to try to play on.    

 

Again, the league regrets this announcement but we believe that this is the right decision. With this decision, Muhlenberg County forfeits the Play-In game against the Madisonville Miners and the Miners will advance to the first round to play the Henderson Flash, beginning on Friday, July 30th at Park Field.
