SOUTH RANGE EDGES URSULINE AT CENE

/in /by

STRUTHERS, OH- In one of the most anticipated games of the season, it was a battle of who could show less to the other team.  With both teams looking for a rematch with more at stake next week, South Range Coach Hanek and Ursuline Coach Weymer both wanted the win- but neither wanted to show their cards or give the other team even the slightest of advantages.

That said, the Raiders defeated Ursuline 3-1 on Friday after taking the lead late in the game. The game was tied at one with the Raiders batting in the top of the fifth when South Range Senior Jared Bajerski drew a walk, scoring one run.

Nolan Shannon was impressive and led the Raiders to victory on the hill. He lasted seven innings, allowing four hits and one run while striking out four.

Jonah Kirchner took the loss for Ursuline. He went six innings, allowing four runs on six hits and striking out three.

Josh Stear led Raiders with two hits in three at-bats. The Raiders was sure-handed and didn’t commit a single error. Brandon Mikos made the most plays with eight.

IRISH BURNS FIRELANDS IN EXTRA FRAMES

/in /by

STRUTHERS, OH- The Cardiac Kids have returned.  This time they’re wearing green and gold.

The Ursuline Irish have a flair for the dramatic, and they posted up another walk-off winner on Saturday night in game two of their doubleheader at the Bob Cene High School Tournament winning 7-6 over Firelands.

Freshman Brady Shannon would do the honors as he roped a pitch into right-center field to score the runner, and end the game.  Shannon would finish the game 2-4 for the Irish.  Also contributing a .500 night was this week’s Baird Brothers Big Dog of the Valley, Vince Armeni, who went 2-4 and accounted for two runs.

On the bump, Glenn Griswold started, and worked 4 2/3 innings for the Coach Weymer, walking 4 and striking out 6.  While Dan Yoder came in to shut things down, giving up no earned runs and fanned 6 batters.

The Irish were set to play Benedictine on Sunday before play was postponed due to weather.  Cene Park is working toward a possible makeup date for the final games of the tournament.
