Patriot grad helps win title
Kyle Selvey hadn’t had a plate appearance all season.
When he finally got his chance, he made the most of the opportunity.
Selvey, a 2014 Jay County High School graduate, got his first hit of the season and scored twice in helping the Huntington University baseball team to the Crossroads League tournament championship Wednesday.
The junior went 1-for-2 against Goshen College in the tournament semifinal on Tuesday, as the Foresters (33-11, 22-5 CL) defeated the Maple Leafs 21-1. Top-seeded Huntington then went on to beat Marian 15-3 in the tournament final.
Selvey scored once in an 11-1 win Saturday in the tournament opener against Bethel, and added another run in a 6-5 victory over Mount Vernon Nazarene on Monday in the quarterfinal. Both were registered as a courtesy runner.
Selvey and the Foresters earned an automatic bid to the NAIA National Tournament.
