University of Kentucky announces Summer Baseball Camp schedule
There will be four separate Wildcat Baseball Camps, which are open to all children enrolled in first through eighth grades.
There will be both full-day and half-day camp options offering the opportunity for each camper to develop his baseball skills in a fun and positive learning experience.
The UK staff will teach each player baseball fundamentals, drill work specifically designed to improve each camper’s offensive and defensive skills, and also simulated game situations.

Max Ferguson, Chris O’Neal and Ryan Smiley combined for five innings of shut out pitching as the Harrison County Thorobreds beat the Paris Greyhounds 13-0, Friday on the Hilltop.  
Ferguson went the first three innings allowing two base hits, hitting one batter and striking out two.  O’Neal pitched the fourth inning striking out one and Smiley hurled the fifth also striking out one Greyhound.  

Before I get into my thoughts for the upcoming Major League Baseball season, I have two opening comments. First is congratulations to Gary Philpott for being selected to the Kentucky Prep Softball Hall of Fame.  
Philpott will be inducted in mid-June during the 22nd annual East-West All Star weekend. Philpott is a pitching guru and has helped many players both in Harrison County and in other parts of central Kentucky.  
He is among six people who will be inducted on this weekend, including Bourbon County’s Tony Sosbe.
