Kilgore dropped a 3-2 loss in 10 innings at home here at Driller Park (above) to Carthage on Friday night. The Diamond 'Dogs have just two games left in the 2024 regular season before the UIL Class 4A playoffs begin, and they're both against Spring Hill: at home Tuesday, then at Spring Hill on Friday.
