Nice win for St. Henry. Very good game to watch. McMahon's big day lifts St. Henry High school roundup May 7, 2010 Junior Tommy McMahon's bases-loaded single cleared the bases to give St. Henry a 6-5 walk-off baseball victory over Conner Thursday. McMahon also earned the win.

Great news is Georgetown D3? Any word on Casey McDaniles?

That covers it. I like Sullivan but Key at Lloyd would be a nice fit too. He has done a good job at Lloyd.

What about Coach Dave Faust? Big time coach for a big time program.

Travis Miller St.Henry

Agree it does look that way. Beechwood should make it to the finals with I say the winner of the St.Henry and New Cath game making it to play them. This should be a very good game today between St.Henry and New Cath.

Good win for the CRU here is a recap from Cincinnati.com Crusaders get off to better start this season High school baseball: St. Henry 6, Campbell County 3 By Richard Skinner • Enquirer contributor • March 23, 2010 Comments (0) Recommend Print this page ShareThis Font size:AA The talk all preseason on the St. Henry baseball team was the need to get off to a better start this season than it did in 2009. The Crusaders are well on their way after getting six strong innings from senior right-hander Nick Knoebel and scoring four runs in bottom of the fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie in a 6-3 win over Campbell County on Tuesday. The victory not only spoiled the debut of new Campbell County coach Scott Schweitzer, but already has St. Henry halfway to the win total it posted through the first 21 games last season, when it started 2-19. "We're not going to go 0-18 before we win another one," said St. Henry coach Walt Terrell. "I think it's very important to get this win right off the bat, because we just weren't very good last year. They kind of needed to see we aren't going to go through what we went through last year." The Crusaders did end last season by going 5-2 and finishing as 34th District runner-up, which qualified them for the Ninth Region Tournament, but they were bounced out in the first round by Covington Catholic. Knoebel said the fast finish made this team believe it could be much improved over last season, especially with a chunk of players returning. "It just proved to us that we had what we needed to have to win games," Knoebel said. "We had so much potential last year to be good, but it seemed like we didn't have the focus and the drive. I think we're going to be all right this year." They certainly will be if the lineup stays as consistent top to bottom as it was on Tuesday. Last season St. Henry averaged just 3.2 runs per game and was held to two runs or less 17 times. It was the bottom of the lineup that started Tuesday's winning rally and the top to the middle that added to it. Junior Brennan Kling came off the bench as a pinch-hitter and promptly belted a double into right-center off Campbell County starter, and loser, Jonathan Rust. Senior first baseman Alex Thorburn, the No. 9 batter, laid down a perfect bunt single up the third base line to put runners at first and third. Left-handed hitting leadoff batter Jeremy Conley followed with a drag bunt up the first base line that Rust fielded and by the time he glanced at Kling to freeze him at third, Conley had beaten it out to load the bases. Freshman Dylan Bevant walked to force in one run to chase Rust. Senior shortstop Travis Miller, who went 3-for-3, then lined a single off an 0-2 pitch from reliever David Jenkins that was just past Campbell County shortstop Justin Iles to drive in two runs and sophomore third baseman Kevin Peddicord followed with a sacrifice fly, his second of the game, to make it 6-2. Miller's hit was the third one he had on an 0-2 pitch in the game. "Being down 0-2 doesn't worry me, I just look to put the ball in play," said Miller. "I was just trying to drive in a run somehow, even if it was a sacrifice fly, but he threw me a fastball right down the middle and I got a good swing on it. "It was really big for the bottom of the lineup to get things going and then it's up to us at the top to drive them in. I really think our offense will be better if we just focus on little things." Terrell said he plans to play more "small ball" this season. "We've done that in the past and everybody says we don't, but we haven't been very good at it to be flat out honest," he said. "It was tremendous. We're going to have to do more of that and if we don't we're going to be in trouble, but we have some younger kids who aren't afraid to swing the bats and last year that was a problem for us - guys just couldn't pull the trigger." Terrell said of Knoebel: "That's what he did for us last year, threw strikes and got people out." Peddicord pitched the seventh and allowed one run.

Congrats and great job

Faust is good. But even though they did not have height they did have a talented group of players. 14-11 is not coach of the year material. This team should have been better IMO.

One question did the Cru look for the tie or were they thinking win all the way with a 3 ?

Great job gryche and thanks for the updates. CRU you fought hard keep your heads up. To all the CRU seniors good job.
