Fort softball shuts out Cavs
COLDWATER, Ohio — The Indians have their first conference win.
Fort Recovery High School’s softball team scored at least a run in the first six innings while shutting down the Cavalier offense in an 8-0 win over Coldwater on Thursday.
The Indians (9-8, 1-2 Midwest Athletic Conference) jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first and doubled the advantage one frame later. In the third and fifth innings Fort Recovery tacked on two runs, while also scoring once in the fourth and sixth frames as well.
Coldwater (5-8, 0-4 MAC) only managed five hits.
Chloey Grisez had two doubles and a pair of singles while driving in three runs. Brenna Homan doubled, singled twice and knocked in two RBIs, and Rachel Thien collected three singles.
Jackie Homan, Hannah Knapke, Macy Day and Aleigha Jenkins all had singles for the Tribe.
Jackie Homan struck out three in the complete-game effort.
Tribe falls to Cavs
FORT RECOVERY — The first-time champ had a tough time scoring against a team with 30 conference titles on Thursday as the Fort Recovery baseball team lost to the Coldwater Cavaliers 2-0 in a game shortened to five innings because of rain.
The Cavaliers (11-3, 5-0 Midwest Athletic Conference), who have more than three times as many MAC titles as any other team, scored the only run it needed in the first inning off Tribe pitcher Riley Post.
Coldwater, which took sole possession of first place in the MAC standings, added another run in the fifth inning, and pushed across another in the top of the sixth before the game was called. That third run ended up not counting because of the shortened game.
Fort Recovery (9-5, 4-1 MAC), which won its first conference championship last season, was not able to score off Coldwater’s Cole Frilling.
Game suspended
BERNE — The South Adams baseball team was beating Bluffton 3-2 before the game was halted in the bottom of the sixth inning Thursday because of rain.
The Allen County Athletic Conference opener for both teams will be picked up at a later, undetermined date.
Bluffton scored twice in the first inning before the Class 2A No. 5 Starfires cut the deficit in half in the fourth inning before taking the lead with two runs in the fifth inning.
Nic Stuber had two hits and a pair of RBIs, and Nick Miller also knocked in a run on a single.
Adam Besser started, allowing two earned runs on six hits in 2 1/3 innings. He struck out three and walked two. Older brother Grant relieved him and allowed one hit over 3 2/3 innings, and struck out 10 of the 11 outs he recorded.
Streak hits seven
BERNE — South Adams’ softball team won its seventh straight game on Thursday with a 9-2 win over the Bluffton Tigers.
The Class 2A No. 9 Starfires (9-1, 1-0 Allen County Athletic Conference) scored twice in each of the first two innings and led 5-2 at the end of the third. A run in the fifth and three more in the sixth resulted in the three-time defending ACAC champions getting enough cushion for the win.
Emilie Hammell finished with two doubles and an RBI. Jenna Myers doubled and drove in three runs, while Kayla LeFever also had a hit and two runs.
Anna Nussbaum, Jade Baker and Madi Smith all singled as well.
Nussbaum allowed four hits, including two solo home runs, while striking out 13 and walking one.

Marcus Gaerke, Christian Jones and Cole Muhlenkamp each singled for the Indians, who also got a pair of walks from Derek Locthefeld. Jones scored the lone run.
