SYRACUSE â Plymouthâs Pilgrims made it three in a row â this time a come from behind NLC win on the road at Wawasee (3-14) by an 11-6 final.
Falling behind early, the Pilgrims rallied late and a big three-run sixth â spurred by RBIs from Jacob Frantz, Justin Drudge and Blake Milliser â pushed them ahead to stay. A four-run seventh put the exclamation point on the win.
âWe got down 6-2 in the fourth. We battled. I thought we had some great at-bats where we battled early, were able to put some runs on,â said Plymouth head coach Ryan Wolfe. âI knew one run wasnât going to be enough there.â
LAKEVILLE â On a cold night in Lakeville, the Lancersâ bats matched the weather as they were only able to come away with one hit off Bremenâs Jacob Bennitt, losing 11-0.
Bennitt finished with nine strikeouts without walking a single batter in the shutout. The Bremen Lions came to play at the plate as well, starting the game with five runs in the first inning and cycling through the entire order.
PLYMOUTH â Plymouthâs girls tennis team started the Northern Lakes Conference Tournament with hopes of overtaking Northridge or at least Goshen after a third-place finish behind the two in round robin play. With two rounds of the NLC tourney now complete, the Lady Pilgrimsâ chances of doing so are all but defunct.
Plymouth went 2-2 on a cold Friday evening in Centennial Park following a 6-4 start over Wednesdayâs opening round and Thursdayâs abbreviated round.
CULVER â Two juniors on the Culver Girls Academy lacrosse team were selected to play in the U.S. Lacrosse Womenâs National Tournament.
