JV SOFTBALL DEFEATS WILLIAMSBURG

Congratulations to the jv softball team on their victory against Williamsburg 10-2. Great pitching was done by Rachel Zawacki with 8 strike-outs. Lindsay Slone starting off the hitting with 2 rbi's followed by Christin Smith's double and 1 rbi, Kelsey Kirschner's triple, Laura Sacco's 1 rbi and Michaela Nordyke's 1 rbi. Two great bunts were executed by Logan Smith and the catch of the day in right field. Good defensive plays were made by short stop April Schmidt, third baseman Hannah Slye, second baseman, Michaela Nordyke and first baseman, Samantha Mcdowell. The action player of the game was our catcher Kelsey Kirschner who stole 3 bases, got caught in 2 pickles, hit a single, double and triple, and after falling on her run to home drugged herself by her arms to get over the plate. Never a dull moment when Kelsey is leading the team.

VARSITY LIONS BASEBALL STANDS ALONE

Kevin Reid rounds third and scored on a throwing error after hitting a triple in the first inning of New Richmond's 16-2 win over Taft.

The Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area has only one remaining unbeaten team. The 13-0 Lions have continued their 2012 campaign without a blemish on their record. This week, the victims were the Taylor Yellowjackets (17 to 8), the Batavia Bulldogs (23 to 2), and the Taft Senators (16 to 2). A 16-run 1st inning against Cincinnati's 6th ranked Batavia highlighted a week filled with hot hitting, solid pitching, and tough defense. Next week is a huge week for the Lions, as they put their 4-0 league record on the line against Goshen and CNE. Come support this special team and see if they can continue to steamroll the competition.
