Javier Echevarria had a difficult time putting his performance into words.

The primarily Spanish-speaking sophomore pitcher from North Hardin doesn’t speak very much English, but his catcher and coach had no problem describing his effort Thursday.

Echevarria threw a complete-game shutout with 11 strikeouts and added a solo home run to cap North Hardin’s 8-0 victory over 17th District rival John Hardin.

Central Hardin senior Gabe Hogan seemed to be right in the middle of the action Thursday night, while fellow senior Drew Harrington kept preventing the Elizabethtown Panthers from getting anything going.

Hogan went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, Harrington tossed another shutout and the newly top-ranked Bruins rolled to a 5-0 victory over Elizabethtown in a 17th District game on Ron Myers Field at Panther Baseball Park.
