Saturday Results & another close NO-NO in BA!

The Baseball team continued winning today sweeping a doubleheader from East Noble. It wasn't the offense but defense and great pitching that won the games. In game 1 - Andrew Robinson was ONE STRIKE FROM A No-HITTER. That is the second ALMOST No Hitter this week. He gave up a single in the top of the 7th with a full count. Weber gave up a single and we won a close game 2-1. In game #2 Andrew led offensively going 2-2 and a "PLETHORA" of pitchers got the win. Kylan LaMotte started the game. He was relieved by Noah Follett, Brett Schendel and James Weber  who all pitched an inning.  The offense was good enough to get a 4-2 win.  

The Lady Railroader Track team had a great day at Churubusco and the Turtle Town Track Invitational and finished a very strong third. We missed 2nd by 5 points and the 2nd place team scored 7 in the pole vault. Jordyn Knott was the MVP for the 3rd year in a row. She won the High Jump, Long Jump, and 300 Hurdles. She was ahead of 2nd place by 8 point! Laura Moynahan got 2 3rd place finishes as did Ariel McCoy. Ariel ran her best 2mile time ever (12:31). Laura threw her best shot (34-6) and our 4x800 relay team was great with a time of 11:04 for 3rd place. Other placers were Brandi Dawson, Bailey Sutton, Rachel Hood, and Lyndsey Gibson. Great Job Coaches and Athletes!

The Boys track team traveled to Goshen for the Goshen Relays. Todd Frickey (100m) and Robert Deventer (Discus) both finished 2nd. Not a great day for the boys track team. The 4x100 team got 5th in their heat, Jaron Somers got 4th in his heat and the team got 15th overall with 32 points.

The Softball team lost their second game at the Showdown this afternoon getting defeated by Dekalb 6-5. The Lady Railroaders were up 5-1 early in the game. They lost 12-2 to Lakewood Park in the 3rd game of the tournament. Here are Coach Bishop's comments:


"DeKalb v.s. Garrett Our offense scored 3 times in the 2nd and 2 times in the 3rd inning and shut down after that striking out 14 times. Sturges pitched 5 2/3 giving up 4 hits hitting 2 batters and walking 2 and those hurt her a little, otherwise pitched a nice game. Yarian came in with 2 outs in the 6th in relief of Macy after 3 runs had scored. With the game tied at 5 entering the bottom of 7th  they pushed across a run to beat us 6-5
. It was a game where we just didn't compete at the plate throughout the game and it ended up costing us. Yarian was charged with the loss. Annessa Smith & Emily Sommers had doubles and Amber Poing had a triple driving in 2 runs. The 2nd game v.s. LP was dominated by them as the cruised once again thru this SHOWDOWN winning by the 10 rule every game and have won their last 9 contests easily. Their travel team is very good. Annessa Smith had 2 hits leading us with only 4 hits total. DePew had a triple. We committed 3 errors which didn't help the cause any."
