THE REVENGERS: LADY REBS ELIMINATE SOUTHEAST

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- The Crestview Lady Rebels hosted a 4C’s Tournament earlier this year that featured Southeast and Girard, two of the teams that the Rebels would potentially see in the postseason.  During that tournament, the Rebels lost both games that accounted for nearly half the losses on the year.

On Thursday, the Lady Rebs got one of those wins back when it counted the most.

Crestview beat Southeast Ravenna 2-0 in Div III Sectional Finals behind great pitching and timely hitting.   Going into the bottom of the 4th scoreless Karsyn Moore would lead off the inning with a line drive single to left field, Later in the inning, Taylor Mellington would hit a line drive to the outfield scoring Moore from second to make it 1-0.  The next batter McKenna Schultz would then hit a shot to left center moving Mellington to third base, and Ashton Hughes would hit a ball to left field, making it 2-0.

That would be all the Lady Rebels would need.

Mellington led the team with 2 hits and an RBI, Hughes would have a hit and RBI.

For Southeast Prater would lead the Pirates with 2 hits.

Freshman, Kaedyn Sutton would pick up her 14th win of the season and held the Pirates down with 9 strikeouts. Crestview would improve too 20-5 on the season and will host LaBrae tonight for Senior Night at 5:00 pm.

WEST BRANCH SURVIVES SALEM’S LATE PUSH

/in /by

BELOIT, OH- The Quakers talked about coming out aggressive after seeing the Warriors no-hit a team on Tuesday. Bailee Thorn took the first pitch of the game right back up the middle to lead things off. The #2 hitter Elly Exline singled on the second pitch of her at-bat. With runners on 1st and 3rd, Exline attempted a steal and on the throw to second, Thorn aggressively went home to score the first run of the game. A three-run fourth inning would push West Branch to the victory. The Quakers wanted to stay aggressive on the bases but only had one other base runner after the first two hits of the game until 2 outs in the 7th inning.

Meg Rossero singled to right field in the 7th inning to extend her school record hitting streak to 19 games. Brooke Veglia and Elly Exline singled. Bailee Thorn had two singles.

On the defensive front, the Quakers didn’t commit an error and hustled on every attempt. Hayden Carner caught two foul balls and laid out on an attempt in front of the plate. Bailee Thorn went all out for a ball blooped down the left field line with a little push from the wind behind it. These girls played their hearts out defensively and in all aspects of the game. Hannah Kelm caught a line drive.

With a strong wind blowing out to center and left field it was very important for the upward movement to be crisp. Taylor Thorpe struck out 8 batters and other than a bunt out, 16 of the 17 outs were either K’s or infield pop up outs. Taylor Thorpe broke her single season (2018) school record of strikeouts as she’s reached 201 on the season.
