7th inning flash flood carries Pilgrims

April 19, 2013

By

PLYMOUTH — Floods, snow and a Plymouth win, it really doesn’t get any better in April.
While snow fell intermittently and every other baseball team in the NLC decided to take the night off, Plymouth’s Pilgrims and the Warsaw Tigers did everything they could to get their game in despite the conditions. At the end it was Plymouth with a flash flood of a seventh inning that was able to overcome Warsaw by a 4-3 final.
It was an unlikely finish made all the more dramatic as a young Plymouth team made a step towards learning how to win — especially over a talented, veteran Warsaw team.

Lady Pilgrims fall in frigid 5-inn. contest at Warsaw

April 19, 2013

WARSAW — After a week of what seemed like non-stop rain, Plymouth and Warsaw managed to salvage a five-inning softball game on Friday. Originally scheduled to be a home game for Plymouth, the field at Centennial Park was filled to the brim with 80 percent of the field underwater. Warsaw managed to get their field to be playable, but the weather continued to make conditions more difficult.

Embracing the challenge: Culver’s Budzinski takes walk-on role at Purdue

CULVER — Micah Budzinski isn’t one to back away from a challenge.
When the Culver Community football star first decided he wanted to play for Division I Purdue, it wasn’t because he was being offered a scholarship — as a recently accepted walk-on with the team, he’ll have to pay the full freight himself. And while Budzinski says he loves football, the four-year, three-sport standout says it wasn’t purely a love of the game that inspired him to walk on with the Boilermakers either.
Instead, he says it was an opportunity to test himself and to do something exceptional.

One inning rain of runs hurts Pilgrims

PLYMOUTH — Plymouth’s Pilgrims beat Mother Nature’s rain but couldn’t hold off Concord’s rain of runs as they fell in an NLC contest by a 12-0 final Wednesday.
While the final speaks of something different, the game really focused on one play — a third inning bunt that turned into a flood of runs that would put Plymouth behind the eight ball for the rest of the night — literally.

Lady Trojans survive John Glenn rally
John Glenn plated two runs in the top of the seventh, but it wasn’t enough to crawl back from an early five-run deficit, and Triton escaped the Falcons in a 7-6 Northern State Conference thriller in Bourbon Wednesday.
Glenn scored on a single by Holly Adams and an error in the fourth inning, a groundout by Brittany Snodgrass in the fifth inning, and a two-run error in the seventh inning. Still, Glenn couldn’t catch the Trojans.

When it’s a win over your bitter rival, it feels even better. And when it’s a complete shutout, it’s downright terrific.
