No. 4 Braves, Jay Co. end in tie (05/28/04)
Local Roundup
Another ranked team coaxed another outstanding effort from the Jay County baseball team.
The Patriots, who defeated top 10 teams Blackford and Northeastern on consecutive days two weeks ago, met up with the Class 3A No. 4 Bellmont Braves Thursday. They didn’t pull off a third win, but played very well in a 4-4 tie which was called in the top of the sixth inning because of lightning.
Jay County (17-9-1) trailed 3-0 after the top of the first inning, and scored once in the bottom of the frame. Bellmont, which was 21-4 entering the final week of the season, got the run back in the top of the fourth for a 4-1 advantage.
The Patriots scored three times in the bottom of the second with the tying run coming in on a steal of home by Heath Williams. The teams traded zeroes over the next three innings before lightning stopped the contest.
Williams finished the game with one hit, one RBI and four stolen bases. Chad Keen had a pair of hits and two RBIs, and Nathan Miller also had a hit.
Josh Atkinson entered in the second inning in relief of Mike Smith and tossed four scoreless innings. He allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out three.
The sophomore has been outstanding in limited action this year, posting a 2-0 record. He has dropped his ERA to 0.65, and has allowed just 12 hits while striking out 14 batters in 212/3 innings.
Sectional play begins Monday with Jay County playing a rematch against Class 3A No. 6 Blackford at Tipton at 1 p.m.
Jay tops Centerville
The Jay County Summer Swim Team got its season under way Thursday with an 808-197 stomping of the Centerville Aquatic Club. Jay County won every relay, and took first place in 51 out of 62 individual events.
Mary Hudson and Wiley Young combined to dominate the 9-10-year-old division, each winning three events. Hudson was first in the girls backstroke, breaststroke and short freestyle, and Young won the boys long freestyle, butterfly and individual medley.
Zane Shreve picked up three wins in the 8-and-under boys division in the butterfly, individual medley and breaststroke, and Alysha Miller won the 11-12-year-old girls long freestyle, butterfly and individual medley. Sam Miller was first in the 13-14-year-old boys long freestyle, individual medley and breaststroke, and Cori Vormohr jumped up a division to win the 15-and-older 50-yard freestyle, individual medley and breaststroke.
Adding two wins apiece for Jay County were Annie Vormohr, Sok Vormohr, Emilee Miller, Michelle Landfair, Aaron Hudson and Ivy Simons.
