CENTRAL
CATHOLIC WINS THIRD BASEBALL CROWN
Lafayette Central
Catholic scored at least three runs in each of the first four innings and beat
Vincennes Rivet, 14-1, in Friday’s Class A state championship game.
It was the
eighth state championship overall for the school and third in baseball (2004,
2007). The team won its last 10 games of the season, outscored its six
tournament foes by a 60-6 margin and plated at least 13 runs in three of those
contests. Tim Bordenet, who doubles as the school’s athletic director, has
coached all three state championship teams.
The
second-ranked Knights (28-4) scored three runs each in the first and second
innings then added four in the third and four more in the fourth. Taylor Glaze,
who pitched the first five innings, combined with Brett Haan to throw a
one-hitter. Glaze (9-0) struck out nine of the 19 batters he faced.
CC’s Austin
Munn went 3-for-4, with two RBI and scored three runs. Dru Anthrop, Reed
Drysdale, Scott Windler and Cole Hruskovich each tallied two hits with Anthrop
and Drysdale knocking in three runs each.
Derek
Potter tallied Rivet’s (16-11) lone hit of the game in the third inning when he
singled to leftfield. Tyler Vieke added the Patriots’ lone run in the top of
the fourth scoring from third on a throwing error. He reached first on a
throwing error, moved to second on a walk and took third on a hit by pitch.
