The first of three scheduled meetings between Olentangy Liberty and Olentangy Orange, both ranked in the state's Top Ten in Division I, was everything anticipated Wednesday with Josh Stickel. Mason Onate and Liberty skipping away with a 3-2 victory. (PressPros Feature Photo by John Hulkenberg).
Fort Loramie righthander Maverick Grudich spun a gem from the mound Tuesday, and the Redskins collected enough hits in one big inning to seize control of the Shelby County League baseball standings over Russia...at least for now.
Ranked in the state's top 10, Covington (Division IV) raked 14 runs, 18 hits, and improved to 16 wins against 3 losses with an impressive Monday win over Versailles. Senior Meg Rogers (above) won her ninth game on the mound, and collected four hits in five at bats.
The crushing blow...Everyone watched as a three-run home run by Penn State's Bobby Marsh off Landon Beidelschies highlighted a 10-run fourth inning...the Nittany Lions then cruised to a weekend series sweep of Ohio State.
No one saw saw it coming like it has, but the Buckeyes' slide in the Big Ten baseball standings can probably be explained in simple human terms. Fear of failure is an enemy worse than Maryland or Michigan.
