Trigg County concluded play in the Chop House Classic by splitting their two games Friday in Kingsport, Tenn.
The Wildcats dropped their opener to Seymour, Tenn. 6-0 but rallied to beat Unicoi County, Tenn. 4-3. It was their second win in as many days over Unicoi County thanks to a reshuffling of the Friday schedule in a successful attempt to beat incoming rain.

Trigg got two back when Micah Brown singled ahead of a Trevor Cortner RBI single. Nick Ahart, who reached on a fielder’s choice, scored the second run on a Unicoi error.
