Arbuckle notches win

About two weeks ago, Noah Arbuckle faltered and failed to get a decision for only the second time in his senior campaign.

He didn’t waste any time bouncing back.

Arbuckle, a 2020 Jay County High School graduate, gave up three runs to Marian to lead the Huntington University baseball team to a 13-3 win on Saturday.

The Huntington senior tossed the first five innings, while his offense supported him with 12 runs.

Of the three runs he gave up, only two were earned. The first run scored in the first inning on an error by the Foresters’ third baseman. The other runs crossed in the top of the fourth on a fielder’s choice and a single.

Arbuckle faced 23 batters in total, giving up six hits and two walks while striking out four batters.

Maddie Guggenbiller

FRHS — 2023

Came up clutch to drive in the winning run for the Defiance College softball team to take down Transylvania 5-4 in a nine-inning game.

The Fort Recovery High School graduate was the second batter to come to the plate in the top of the ninth inning. With one out and a provided runner on third, Guggenbiller smacked a double to center field. The hit drove drive in what would be the winning run.

In the fifth inning, Guggenbiller blasted a home run to left-center field to start the scoring.

Guggenbiller also went 1-for-3 in the first game of the double header.

Crosby Heniser

JCHS — 2022

Tossed 1 ⅓ innings for the Manchester University baseball team in a 10-0 loss to Heidelberg on Wednesday.

Heniser entered the game in the fourth inning after the Spartans were already down 4-0. He closed out the inning, but gave up four more in the fifth off of four hits and one walk.

Only two of the runs Heniser gave up were earned.

Sophie Pearson

FRHS — 2023

Scored a run as a pinch runner for the Thomas More University softball team in a 5-3 win over Kentucky Wesleyan on Saturday.

Pearson entered the game after a leadoff single by Emily Allphin in the sixth inning. She advanced to second on another single and then to third on a fly out.

A third hit in the inning scored Pearson to add an insurance run before the Saints closed out the game.
