Should be announcing a coach here this week.

The crusaders had 3 of their starters out during this game. (Mitch Kuebbing,center fielder. Dylan Bryant, shortstop. Kevin Peddicord, third base.) Their first 2 pitchers were both sophomores who have no varsity experience. There last pitcher is a senior who is not a pitcher. Congrats to St. Henry on their victory against Scott today 12-4

any 10th graders that potentially could have a positive impact on their team?

The ninth region tournament starts Monday and rain seems like it has potential to rain Monday's games out. Will Freedom's turf field help?

Schaber started. Then in the fifth knoebal came in. Then Bryant, freshman, relieved him.

St. Henry improves their record to 11-13 after Saturday.

Final.

bottom 7th, bases loaded, two outs, full count.. Runners are goin on the pitch. St. Henry's batter hits a walk off single that scores the guy from first. A great win for St. Henry

Does anybody think the fields will be playable tomorrow?

Coach DeVita. Coach Terrell was out of town for the weekend.

Murphy started for Rebels but came out due to an injury in the second inning. Stanley pitched all the way through the sixth and not sure who closed it for Boone. Rouse started for the Crusaders then Seifreid came in in the 5th

who pitched?

Great game to both teams! Zerhusen for St. Henry and Meyer for Newport Central Catholic both threw 7 innings.

Sorry I accidentally hit a button and it submitted my recap of the game before I was done so I will continue where I left off. The Thoroughbreds end up scoring off a dropped fly ball hit to the St. Henry center fielder and the crusaders couldn't get the job done in the bottom of the eight.

Well, top of the seventh the Crusaders go out on the field with a 5-3 lead. Then the first hitter gets a single. Next guy gets walked. So it's a guy on first and second. The hitter lays down a sacrifice bunt. Now it's second and third with 2 outs. The hitter gets down 1-2 and the next pitch is a fastball from Zerhusen on the outside corner of the plate that could of ended the game. But nope, the umpire calls it a ball. Next pitch, the hitter hits a rope to left field that ties the game up. The Crusaders get out of it and go bat It's the bottom of the 7th and the Crusaders are at the top of their lineup. Conley grounds out. Bryant walks then steals. Miller strikes out. Bryant advances on a wild pitch. Peddicord battles long and hard fouling off multiple foul balls, but didn't get the job done. He ends up with a fly out to the center fielder.
