Five people were indicted on robbery charges following an armed home invasion that occurred last month. 

Michael D. Yocum, 22, of Springfield, Coty D. Franklin, 23, of Lebanon, Cory A. Burkhead, 24, of Springfield, Miranda N. Collins, 21, of Bardstown, and Timothy D. Bartley, 22, of Springfield, were all indicted on charges related to the incident. 

Evan Mattingly was 3 years old when he joined his first T-ball team. His father, Jim, was “a big baseball fan,” and with Evan’s older brother, Luke, set to play on their father’s team, Evan naturally wanted to join.

And from that point on, Evan was hooked on baseball.

“My dad got me into it, and I’ve loved it ever since,” he said.

After dominating the Bardstown Tigers by 20 runs in the teams’ first meeting, it seemed as if the Washington County Commanderettes would cruise to their 11th victory of the season in last week’s district matchup.

But it was the Tigers who controlled the game early on, taking an early 4-1 advantage through two innings.

The Rev. Cal Adams was living in Louisiana when he first heard about Washington County’s Bible Read-a-Thon, and he immediately became intrigued with the idea.

“I thought it was one of the greatest things I’d ever heard of,” Adams said, reflecting on when his father- and mother-in-law, Bobby and Kathy Gabhart, first told him about the annual event.
