  (The Kilbourne roster had no positions for the players.) (Great job by Kilbourne for having their stats up on Maxpreps.com.) Tonight Worthington Kilbourn (5-10) was supposed to host Dublin Scioto (6-1), but weather-related field conditions forced the game to be moved to Scioto. Scioto jumped out in front 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning on a sac fly from Lyla Magnussen A single by Maria Wasko later in the inning gave the Irish a 3-0 lead. An error in the 2nd inning put the home team up 4-0. The game would be blown open in the fourth with Scioto erupting for 9 runs to go up 13-0.

  First, I have to say thank you to Whetstone Head Coach Tim Broske for the hospitality and allowing me to shoot pictures from the dugout. 2nd, it was great to speak with Coach Bell, who is helping out with the East Tigers baseball team. My first baseball game of the season took me to Whetstone High School to watch the Braves open their season against Columbus City League. for East Tigers Through two innings this game was locked at zero; the thing that stuck out the most was Whetstone freshman pitcher Lex Beson had struck out all six batters he had faced. He would run that streak to seven in a row to start the third. In the bottom of the third, Jonas Conn would swipe two bases and then score on a passed ball to give the Braves the 1-0 lead. The Tigers would close the door before any more damage was done. Whetstone would go off in the fourth inning. Liam Shea would single in a run to make this a 2-0 game; he would take 2nd base on an error. Dallas Adler would single to make this a 3...

  (First, thank you, Raiders, for having your stats and roster up on MAXPREPS.COM.) 2ND Lakewood has no roster or stats up for the game on MaxPreps.) I traveled to Reynoldsburg for my third softball game of the 2025 season, where the Raiders (0-2) came in with blowout losses to Hamilton Township (20-3) and to Hillard Davidson (18-1). For the Lakewood Lancers (2-0) with wins over Newark (7-5) and Bexley (17-1). In the top half of the first #13, Lakewood hit a hard shot for a single to drive in a run, making this a 1-0 game. #13 would go 4-4 at the plate and drive in two when all was said and done. #16 for the Lancers would blast a bomb to make this a 2-0 game still in the first. #16 would blast two homers in this one. Her second shot was a three-run bomb. #23 made it 3-0 with a single. The Lancers would lead 5-0 after two innings with #13 and #16 driving in runs on hard-hit balls. #13 also would earn the win in this one by going the distance. I spoke with #13's father during the gam...

My second softball game of the year took me to Whetstone High School in Columbus, Ohio, where the Braves hosted the Panthers from Linden McKinley. Whestone (1-0) comes in off of their 18-2 thrashing of the Northland Vikings, while the Panthers were playing their first game of the year. The Panthers dressed nine players and ended with just eight. 55 Brave fans showed up for this contest played in the cold. 48 fans looked to be for the Braves, with the Panthers having 6, and there was me, a neutral fan. A six-run first inning for the Braves put this one away early. The Braves tacked on nine in the second, with two in the third and one in the fourth, which was their last at-bat. To be honest, the Braves could have won 60 or 70 to zero if their coach had won with class and made sure his ladies did not embarrass the Panthers. Using the Whetstone stats that are up on Maxpreps (thank you, Braves, for getting the stats up as fast as you did). Jillian Nelson, Avery Bair, and Kiara Heizman comb...

  (I COULD NOT FIND A LAKEWOOD ROSTER ONLINE.) Softball season kicked off this afternoon in Hebron, Ohio, with the Lakewood Lancers hosting the Newark Wildcats. It was cold and windy at times, but these two schools still found a way to put up a combined 18 hits and 11 runs. Both teams had a chance to score in the first as they both had two on with two out, but pitching and defense stood tall, allowing zero runs. The Lancers took a 2-0 lead in the 2nd inning with #8 scoring on a wild pitch or a passed ball, as I am not sure how it was officially ruled. #23 made it 2-0 with a fielder choice groundout. Karma Wells made it 2-1 with an RBI in the third inning. According to the Newark stats, she would go 3-3 on the day, score a run, and swipe a base. The girl should cause problems for teams all season long, especially with her bat control and speed. In the fourth inning, the Wildcats looked poised to blow the game open; they had two on with zero out, but a strikeout followed by a line dr...
