The curtain raises
on many Baseball District Tournaments this
coming Saturday, May 15. But, some teams had the
chance to "send a message" last week.
At Chaffe, Andrew
Terhune cleared the bases with a double to right
field. This was the key hit of the Chaffee 5-3
win over Oran. The Red Devils raised their
record to 11-7 with the win behind ace, Andrew
Dooley. Dooley outdueled Frosh phenom, Cody
Moore of the Eagles in this well played game.
Oran takes a 13-7 record into the District
seeding meeting. Look for the rematch around
district title time.
Seeded #2 in their
own tournament and #2 for District behind the
N. Calloway Thunderbirds (15-6) just didn't sit
too well with the Fulton
Hornets. The Hornets (11-6) walloped the
Thunderbirds 7-1 in the Championship game of the
Fulton Tournament. Wilson Christensen tossed a
one-hitter and Cameron Krull's three hits
(including a round tripper) was all the offense
that the Hornets needed for the win. Stay tuned
for the District play.
TEAMS
SPRINTING TO THE SEASON FINALE.....
The
Rock Bridge Bruins
(17-2) traveled to Francis Howell on Saturday
night and pounded out an 11-7 win over the
Vikings. Max Byers hit two over the boards for
the Bruins and knocked home six runs in the win.
Ryan Phillips (5-0) stayed unblemished on the
year on the mound as he allowed three runs in
five innings.
In the ABC
Conference, Lutheran South
(16-7)has grabbed first place after a 4-1
win over Lutheran North (14-8). The Lancers have
now won seven of their last eight games
including a thrilling 1-0 shutout of Westminster
Christian Academy. Listen this exciting replay
on
www.prepcasts.com John Auble is the ace on
the mound with a 7-1 personal w-l record. His
sparkling 1.13 ERA is 43+ innings leads the
Lancer staff. Mike Krumm, hitting .426 has been
a very strong #2 hurler with a 4-2, 2.73 ERA.
Kaleb Schumer (.455) and Ben Eckrich (.400) are
other .400+ hitters for South.
The
Sturgeon Bulldogs
(11-2) were led by Garret Kelly on the mound and
at the plate in the 5-2 win over Higbee. Kelly
smashed a 3-run HR, had 9 strikeouts, just 2
walks and 6 hits in the win. The Bulldogs are
ranked #4 in Class 1 and looked primed for
District.
The
Hazelwood Central Hawks
(17-5)moved into a tie for first place in the
Suburban North with a 7-1 victory over the
Hazelwood West Wildcats(14-8). The win avenged
an earlier loss to the Wildcats and placed each
team with a 12-2 conference mark. Matt Dezort,
David Goering and Reggie Seay each had two hits
in the Hawk win. Haz Central has now won ten of
their last eleven games!
The
Harrisburg Bulldogs
chalked up two more wins this week and look
anxiously for District with their glossy 10-4
record. Keegan Petersen struck out 12 and
surrendered only 3 hits in the Bulldog 10-0 five
inning win over the California Pintos. Hitting
stars in this game were Zach Beringer (grand
slam) and Austin Heuer who was 3 for 3 with two
RBI's.
Going 9-0 in the
South Central AA Conference, the
Brentwood Eagles
(12-5) have won five of their last six games.

Park. Ryan Marshall (.535) and Kevin Smith

Festus
(17-6) downed
Windsor(16-8) 16-15 on Saturday.
Windsor fell behind early 6-2
after 1 inning, 13-9 after 3
innings but kept working hard.
The Owls took a 15-13 lead into
the bottom of the 7th. Festus
scored 3 to gain the wild winin
the final at bat. The hitting
stars for the Tigers were Shawn
Crump (2 of 4, 5 RBI's and a HR)
and Ryan Yuengel (3 of 4, 3RBI's
and HR).
In a game with 35 hits, 11
errors, a few walks,
John
Burroughs (12-6)
outlasted the Priory Rebels
(5-15) 17-16. JB scored 3 runs
in the top of the 7th to take a
17-11 onto the field needing
just three more outs for the
win. Priory plated five runs and
fell just short but provided
plenty of anxious moments for
the Bombers (very appropriate
nickname on this baseball game).
Hitting stars filled a galaxy!
PITCHING GEM OF THE WEEK !
Westran's
(13-3) Tyler Hunt struck out 16
on route to a 1-0 nail-biter
over Atlanta. The only run of
the game scored on a sac fly!
RALLY TIME (please turn your
hats around!)
The Hickman Kewpies (10-7)
scored six runs in the 7th to
topple the Jefferson Jays 8-7.
The Jays held a 5 run bulge
entering the final inning! Neil
Hansen blasted a key 3-run
double and
Jonathon
Litteken’s 2-run single
were the key blows for the
Kewpies.
Trailing 10-7 as the 7th inning
began,
Monroe City had a 3 run
walk off home run to send them
home an 11-10 victor over Knox
County. The hero was Shane
Williams in this see-saw game.
William's shot just kept
carrying. The left fielder
drifted back on the ball and
thought that he had it gauged
but (like the pink bunny), it
just kept going and going.
Shhhh...it's a secret !
Salisbury
is still unranked even
after hanging up a 10-0 win over
Slater. The Panthers are now
14-0! Austin Springer threw the
2-hitter and hung up 11 K's in
the victory. This Class 2 team
has really been a secret in
2010!!
