Troy's pitching (with Andrew Helman, above), makes the Trojans a favorite come tournament play in two weeks. But for those who wonder who some of the other teams are that have impressed (softball and baseball), we share in today's inside feature.
The Buckeyes issues exposed for the second game in a row...Iowa strafes OSU pitching for 19 hits and 15 runs...Bucks' offense held to just six hits in 15-3 loss.
It wasn't easy...Staked to an early lead Troy struggled on the mound, to keep Piqua at arm's length, and got a little twisted before it was over. In the end they succeeded, taking Friday's Miami Valley League showdown between the two rivals, 5-4.
Tied 3-3 in the top of the seventh, Kendra Clune (far left) touches home plate with the scoreboard as a backdrop...her dramatic three-run homer shocked everyone and lifted Coldwater past #2-ranked Minster in a MAC thriller, 6-3.
