Softball Spoilers

Wyoming softball finished the regular season with a non-conference game against Princeton, and their final conference game against the CHL winner, Reading.  At Princeton, Wyoming took an 8-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh, and walked away with an 8-6 victory.

The Cowboys saved their best game for last.  They played the season finale against the CHL undefeated leader, Reading on their Senior night.  However, it was our Wyoming seniors that shined.  Senior lead-off hitter Allison Golden had 2 hits, scored 2 runs, and had 2 RBIs in the first two innings.  That was more than enough for senior Madeline Juergens, who faced only six more batters than the minimum (for the whole game!); and after the first inning, didn’t face more than four batters in any one frame.  In fact, the high powered Reading offense managed just one hit and two walks from the second inning on.

Junior Reagan Raymer hit a milestone with her 100th career hit for Wyoming (she was 2 for 4 at the plate with 2 triples and an RBI).    Skyler Wolski was cleared from a possible concussion, and did a wonderful job behind the plate.  After falling behind 2-1 in the first, the second inning proved decisive.  Madeline singled and scored the tying run on a hard it ball by Emma Jacquemin; Shelby Fritz (reached on an error) and Michaela Fetter singled and then scored on a single by Ally.  With 2 outs, Sammi Campbell completed the scoring for the Cowboys with a single that scored Golden and Reilly Boss.  The Reading pitcher then faced only four batters above the minimum from the third inning on.  This was a great pitcher’s duel with excellent play in the field. The defense was spot on.  Boss and Shelby Fritz each had two of the last six outs; and each had to make running catches in the outfield.  Raymer had a 5-5-3 double play to end the first inning, and Ally caught two and had three assists at shortstop.  On one of those grounders, she held a runner at third while making the play to first.  That runner never did score, and the 6-2 lead held for the rest of the game.

Next up for the Cowboys is the post-season tournament; the 7th seeded Cowboys have to travel to Blanchester, the #6 seed on Tuesday.

Girls Lacrosse

From Coach Crawford:

Tuesday night the Cowboys hosted the Springboro Panthers, currently ranked in the Top 20 in the State of Ohio as reported by LaxPower.  The JV squad played well to a 4-4 tie as the final seconds of their game drew to a close on a Springboro goal.   The Varsity had a tough go losing 3 to 14.   However, a bright spot continues with the Cowboys' dominance at the draw out wrestling the Panthers 11 draw controls to 8.

Looking ahead, the Girls are seeded #9 in the OSLA South Central Division and will travel to face #8 Granville on Tuesday,May 17th.

Penultimate Game

From Coach White:

It was a great weekend for Wyoming Ultimate.

For the second year in a row, the boys from Wyoming’s Ultimate team placed third in the regional tournament Saturday to qualify for the State tournament.  Wyoming knocked off teams from Centerville, Moeller, and Lebanon before falling to eventual champion, Home School, and then crushing Mason to claim third place.  Seniors Joe White and Jaden Shapiro led the Jackrabbits all day, with Joe racking up 18 scoring throws and five goals caught and Jaden eight and two.  Senior Daniel Tighe had eight scoring grabs in the five games, while junior Nick Nance chipped in with five in his first call up from the JV squad.  The 12-team State tournament will be played in Versailles on June 4-5—and yes, that is graduation weekend!

The Jackrabbits returned to regular league co-ed play on Sunday, with the varsity topping Lebanon’s varsity 14-3, to raise their record to 5-1. Seniors Gus Bradley and Daniel Tighe led the scoring charge, each with two scoring throws and four goal catches.  On a blustery day, the Jackrabbits repeatedly shredded Lebanon’s zone D with impressive strings of completions in a good team offense concept, with senior Bailey Skidmore in particular putting on a “cutting to open space” clinic.  The varsity plays its final game Sunday at 4:45 at the Rec Center vs Home School in what should be a high level contest between two of the league’s top teams.

The JV dropped an 8-11 decision to Lebanon’s JV, falling to 2-4 on the year.

Softball Sees Success

The Cowboy Softball team went 3-2 in their last five league games.  On the 25th, the Cowboys scored a 7-4 victory at Finneytown behind a two-hitter by Madeline Juergens and a 2-run homerun by Skylar Wolski.  Michaela Fetter took over first base for a missing Emma Jacquemin, and recorded 8 put-outs.

In the second game, the Cowboys hosted Reading.  They jumped out to an early 6-1 lead thanks to a homerun by Sammy Campbell in the second inning.  The Reading offense took advantage of the second game without Emma as the Cowboys felt the strain of being in unfamiliar positions, and the Cowboys found themselves in their only blowout loss of the season.

The Cowboys rebounded in admirable fashion as they took on Deer Park.  Emma Melvin saw her first action of the season in the field, after returning from an injury.  They spotted Deer Park a 5-1 lead entering the bottom of the fifth; and after a shaky start, the return of Emma Jacquemin seemed to settle the defense.  Shelby Fritz was hit by pitch twice, and singled in the seventh to set the table for Ally Golden.  The seniors took over starting in the fifth.  MJ retired 9 of the last 10 batters she faced, and Ally Golden scored twice, then singled in the tying and winning runs (MJ was the winning run) with 2 outs in the bottom of the seventh for a 6-5 victory.  

The finale of the set against Finneytown was again a nail biter.  Reilly Boss scored the first two runs, while Regan Raymer scored the last two, including the game winner in the bottom of the seventh on a single by Sammy Campbell.

On May 4th, Wyoming visited Deer Park.  Although they came out offensively strong, scoring 4 runs in the top of the first, the defense was a little shaky in the bottom of the second, yielding 6 runs.  The absence of Skylar Wolski (probable concussion) was apparent.  Shelby filled in for Wolski behind the plate, but Wolski’s bat was also sorely missed.  The Cowboys again made the game exciting, as they scored four runs in the top of the sixth to pull within a run, 9-8.   After holding Deer Park scoreless in the sixth, the Cowboys left the tying run at third, and the go-ahead run at second.  With a 7-4 league record, the Cowboys are guaranteed a winning CHL season (the first for this senior class); and with just one league game left against Reading, could place anywhere from second to fourth.

The Cowboys will host Anderson on Saturday and that will be their Senior day.  The game starts at 1 o'clock.  We hope to see you there to support our Cowboys and to wish our Seniors luck in their future!

Thanks to Lisa Golden for the report.
