/in /by

MASSILLON OH- It was a good old fashioned pitcher’s duel in Thursday’s Regional semifinal between South Range and Hawken. Neither team scored until the 5th inning. All the scoring actually came in that 5th as the Raiders struck for one in the top half, and Hawken answered with two in the bottom to secure the 2-1 victory.

South Range only managed 3 hits against Hawken’s pitching. Shane Lindstrom had a single and a RBI for the Raiders. Also getting hits were Corey Penick, and Logan Cormell.

Billy Skripac did everything he could on the mound for the Raiders. He struck out 8 and allowed just 2 runs on 5 hits.

South Range ends their impressive season with a 22-5 record, and owners of back to back district championships. Hawken advances to the regional final tomorrow against Waynedale.
