JCHS wins big (04/23/08)

Josh Ludy hit another home run. Nick Pryor saw his first pitching action of the year. And the Patriots bounced back from their first loss in a big way.

The efforts from the pair of seniors came in the Jay County High School baseball team's 13-0, five-inning slaughter of the visiting Union City Indians.

Ludy's home run was the 19th of the season for the Patirots (8-1), who set a school record with 27 in 2007. They still have 18 regular-season games on the schedule this year, putting them on pace to hit nearly 50 homers this year.
