Big Numbers

Wednesday, April 9th, the Girls Softball team lost their home opener to Finneytown 19-8.  As we try to take the Pollyanna view of things, Lisa Golden offered up some encouraging statistical highlights.

Olivia Munneke - 3/3 and scored 2 runs
Erin Campbell - 2/3 (1 dbl) 1 run and 4 RBIs
Reagan Raymer: 3/3, scoring 1 run
Reilly Boss - who started the batting fest in the bottom of the 3rd and went 2/2 and scored 2 runs including the first one!

Today (Thursday, April 10th) would be a good day to travel with the Girls to Roger Bacon for their 4:30 game to cheer them on and help them turn those scores around.

Thanks to Skip Koesterman for the great pictures and passing along the Golden stats.

It's Good To Be Home Again

Debonair  DOBO, John Brown relayed the action from the Baseball teams home-opener against Finneytown.

The Cowboys won their home opener today against Finneytown 6-4. This was our first game played since returning from our Nashville trip and makes us an even 3-3 on the year, 1-0 in the CHL.  The game was a pitchers battle as it was 0-0 through 5 and a half innings until we broke it open with a 6 run 6th inning. Finneytown then battled back scoring 4 runs in the top of the seventh.  Casey Howell earned the save and Tucker Marty came in and got the save. Up next is at Finneytown April 10th
