CREEKSIDE WINS TO KEEP CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES ALIVE

/in , /by

STRUTHERS, OH- Creekside Fitness and the Astro Falcons battled for game 3 in the Youngstown Class B championship on Tuesday night. Astro was one win away from the sweep, but Creekside extends the series for one more night.

Creekside brought the sticks early and often in the win or go home scenario, scoring 1 run in the first and plating 3 more in the third inning on a double by Colin Marinpetro. The Astro Falcons would come right back to cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second, scoring runs on a double by Tyler Armstrong, followed by an RBI triple to the wall by Ty Stecko.

Creekside led 4-2 heading into the fifth inning, until they would add 2 more runs to take a 6-2 lead. The offense clicked tonight for Creekside, putting up 10 hits and scoring 6 runs to beat Astro in game 3, 6-2. Creekside Fitness starting pitcher Braden Ziegler was phenomenal, tossing a complete game 3 hit performance, while picking up the victory to keep Creekside alive. The Astro Falcons look to bounce back and win tomorrow in game 4 of the championship series. First pitch from Bob Cene Park is slated for 7 P.M. You can catch the live stream on YSNLive.com.

THE FIVE BEST SITES TO STREAM BASEBALL ON YOUR LAPTOP

Baseball is one of the most favorite sports, especially in the USA and Canada. People love watching or streaming MLB and college baseball. But, if someone does not live in North America, you will find fewer to no options for live streaming.

 

But, if you are keen to stream these games and want to know about some reliable websites, you are at the right place. I will tell you about the seven best websites that I use to watch live baseball.

 

1) USTV GO

 

If you are looking for a website that can give you live streaming options without too many ads, this might be the best option. It is a website with a simple user interface and fewer ads than its competitors.

VIPRow Sports has about 715,000 monthly visitors, and it does give you too many ads. You might want to use a VPN for a better experience.

 

3) SportSurge

 

SportSurge would be on the top of the list, but in recent times you can only find its mirror and proxies. You might get more ads because of it. However, you won’t get any ads while you see the live streaming.

 

4) MLB.TV

 

MLB.TV is not a free website. But if you are willing to pay, this is one of the best websites to watch Baseball. You get HD streaming through the website and the app. Here are some of its features,

It is one of the best conference networks. You get to see dozens of games on this network every year.

 

2) Atlantic Coast Conference(ACC)

SIEGFRIED IS A LOUISVILLE SLUGGER

/in /by

LOUISVILLE OH- The Louisville Leopards Baseball Team has been on one heck of a run, starting way back in April with this 2022 edition of The Leopards.

Part of the success that Louisville has been able to accomplish this season is due to the work and production of a large number of upperclassmen in the program. One of those names being the junior slugger in Karson Siegfried.  You may have seen Siegfried’s cannon fire off some runners trying to take an extra bag, as he is one of the better defensive catchers around the area. On top of that, he has to help manage and maintain a very good group of Leopards pitchers.  If you have not noticed Siegfried’s defense, perhaps he has raised some eyebrows with a bat in his hand. Firstly, breaking the single season record in Louisville for doubles, as the junior cranked over a baker’s dozen two-baggers to accomplish the feat.  In recent memory, you may recall The 2022 District Championship, hosted in Louisville, but acting as the away team versus The Marlington Dukes. When Siegfried showed his strength, belting a two-run shot over the fence. A shot that put Louisville up in the first and they never looked back, winning 2-0 over Marlington.

But just in case you have not had the opportunity to catch the Louisville Slugger himself, you will have an opportunity on Thursday, June 2nd as Louisville takes on Hunting Valley University School in a Regional Semi-Final matchup.  Having trouble waiting that long? Don’t worry, we got you covered! As the Running Point boys got a chance to know Karson SIegfriend on and off the field. Be sure to check out this EXCLUSIVE interview, brought to you by YSN.

BOARDMAN, OH- To count the Spartans out of the AAC Baseball Championship chase would have been a mistake.  An oversight for many around the area gave just enough bulletin board material to the Spartans to shock the world.

Griffin Widrig had all the right stuff on Wednesday for the Spartans, allowing zero runs and besting Austintown-Fitch by a score of 1-0

The pitching was strong on both sides. Widrig struck out seven, while Jack Knight sat down five.

A single by Carter Owens in the fourth inning was big for Austintown-Fitch, getting their first hit of the contest.

Widrig was on the hill for Boardman for the entirety. The right-hander surrendered zero runs on four hits over seven innings, striking out seven and walking zero.

Jack Knight was on the mound for Austintown-Fitch. The hurler went an impressive six innings, allowing one run on four hits and striking out five.

Stephen Conti went 2-for-2 at the plate to lead Boardman offensively.  Seth Cervello was 1-1 with a walk.  Caleb Satterfield was one of three but scored the only run of the ball game.

Fitch’s four singles came from Carson Fuller, Dom Perry, Branden Stephenson, and Owens.

Boardman (12-11-1) now look to put a bow on the regular season against Poland at home on Thursday, while Fitch (17-5) will take on Howland Thursday, and South Range Friday at the Nest.

SOUTH RANGE DESTROYS DEVILS

/in /by

CANFIELD, OH- Take every comparison you’ve seen or heard about this year’s South Range Football Team, and throw it aside.

All because we’re just now beginning to understand that we have yet to scratch the surface on the talent this Raider team is capable of showcasing.  Especially after flexing their muscles in a 49-6 performance in Week 12 over Crestwood Saturday Night.

Thrive, and advance.

The Raiders started the party just over three minutes in when Connor Jones dashed into the endzone from 2 yards out to give the Raiders the lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

From there, it was Dylan Dominguez finding paydirt twice- the first carry from 25 yards out, and the second punched in from 3 yards away.  Dominguez would finish with 139 yards on 14 carries, and add in an impressive one-handed reception for 27 yards out of the backfield.  Other rushing leaders for the Raiders consisted of Landon Moore with 41 yards, Billy Skripac with 34 yards, Jake Starkey’s 26, Connor Jones’ 25, and Ethan Zinz’s 20 yards.

The Raiders as a team finished with 517 yards of total offense, including 314 of them coming on the ground.

Skripac continued to be the most efficient quarterback in the area’s recent memory- completing 9 of 11 passes for 185 yards and 2 scores.  Tristan Toy provided Raider fans a glimpse of the future with a beautiful touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to Brady Crumbacher from 18 yards out in the left corner of the endzone.

Leading the receiving corps for South Range on the night was Shane Lindstrom, who continued to dazzle those in attendance each time he touched the football.  South Range’s best-kept secret, Ayden Leon went 3/3 on targets converting them for 56 yards and a touchdown.  Connor Jones hauled in a 45-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter continuing to showcase his versatility in the up-tempo Raider offense.

The lone highlight for Crestwood came in the fourth quarter when Ethan Strahan picked off an errant pass from Tristan Toy and returned it to the house, and ending the scoreless streak for South Range’s defense over the last 3 weeks.

With the victory, South Range will line up to play Garaway next Saturday night at 7pm at a location yet to be determined at the time of writing.  YSN will again be streaming the game as part of their Power Play Package at $9.99.

As always, you can stay up to date with all the information on South Range on YSNLive.com
