Champ bashes two more HRs
Riah Champ has been on fire.
That did not change Tuesday, when she hit a two-run, walk-off home run.
The Jay County High School softball team stayed undefeated, defeating the Eastbrook Panthers in six innings 21-11.
Champ sealed the deal with the walk-off home run. It was part of a day when she continued to mash at the plate, finishing 4-for-4 with four runs, four RBIs and two home runs.
Her efforts were part of an overall Patriot dominance that included an 11-run second inning. All but one of the inning’s 14 batters recorded a hit. The biggest came from Jaelynn Lykins, who smacked a two-RBI triple.
Six Patriots had multiple hits and all but two had two or more RBIs. Senior Brianna Zorn had her best game of the season with two doubles and four RBIs.
Mallory Winner earned her sixth win of the year, pitching 3 1/3 innings of relief. She gave up three earned runs on nine hits.
Track sweeps
BERNE — The Jay County boys and girls track teams both took first place Tuesday, beating conference rivals Adams Central and South Adams.
The boys team had 10 first-place finishes, leading them to 72 points and a 19-point victory over South Adams. The girls scored 65.5 points and beat South Adams by 1.5 points.
Sprint victories for the boys came from Garrett Hidy in the 100-meter dash (11.57 seconds) and Gabe Pinkerton in the 200 dash (25.05). Isaac Kunkler won both hurdles events with a times of 15.83 (110 hurdles) and 44.69 (300 hurdles).
In distance events, Brayden Collins took the 800 run (2.17.33) while Joseph Boggs won the 1,600 run (5.01.81). JCHS also won all three relays, and Adam Alig won high jump (5 feet, 4 inches).
The Patriots got three field-event victories from two girls — Gabi Bilbrey in shot put (37 feet, 10 inches) and discus (101 feet, 11 inches) and Morgan DeHoff in long jump (14 feet, 10.5 inches).
The girls also took the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.
U11 sweeps tourney
NOBLESVILLE — Jay County Baseball Club’s 11-and-younger team went 3-0 in the USSSA Bunny Bash Round Robin Tournament this past weekend.
Although they didn’t lose a game, they finished as the runners-up in the 11U A division because of a tiebreaker based off of run differential that put the Patriots one run behind first place.
Eli Homan led the team offensively with six hits, including two doubles and one triple.
Andrew Myers and Ryker Price notched wins in the tournament. Myers recorded two wins and 14 strikeouts over seven innings. Price struck out nine batters.
