(Softball)Johnstown Johnnies post a 3-2 win over the Lakewood Lancers


 

Today I made the drive from Planet Fitness in Gahanna to Johnstown High School to watch the Johnstown Johnnies battle the Lakewood Lancers. Johnstown, according to MaxPreps, came in with a 3-5 record overall and 203 in the tough Licking County League. The Lancers came in 12-1 overall and 5-1 in the Licking County League.

This was a tight game from the beginning to the end. The good for the Johnnies was they won the game while totaling just five hits. They committed just one error, while their two pitchers, Riley Stefanick and Lucia Kuhn, combined for zero wild pitches, giving up a total of just eight hits to a powerful Lancers lineup. Together they had 4 bases on balls and 7 strikeouts. The bad for the Lancers was two wild pitches and an error that led to Johnstown's first run. In the final two innings, the Lancers left five runners on base, and in that time, they scored just one run.

The Lancers opened the scoring in the top half of the first on an RBI double by Jacie Montie. Johnstown tied it with a walk, two wild pitches, and a fielder's choice groundout by Brooklyn Wood. Johnstown went up 3-1 in the third on an error by Brianna Hoisington, followed a short time later by a fielder's choice ground out by Addy Zak. A single by Lucia Kuhn made it 3-1. The Lancers would load the base in the sixth inning but score just one run on a Hoisington.

Leading the Johnnies with two hits was Kuhn. For the Lancers, Hoisington and Ashlyn Carder had two hits apiece. Montie had the only extra-base hit of the game.

Semi Pro: Columbus Fire 8 Port City Spartans 0 (Game called in the third because of fighting)

Image
  Yesterday I drove to Portsmouth and met up with my friend Bill Norman after dinner at The Portsmouth Brewing Company before driving over to Spartan Stadium to watch the semi-pro football game and watch the Port City Spartans host the Columbus Fire. I have been to over 1,500 football games, or close to that amount, and I can say none of them prepared me for what I ended up seeing. The stadium had one set of lights that did not work at all that I had seen before (Jackson State University). One pole had a light missing, and another pole had one single light that did not work at all on the visitor's side, making the field dark. I saw a fan on the Spartans side of the field standing with the players vaping, and I saw a player setting on the bench for most of the game also vaping. The game itself was stopped once when the refs walked off the field for what one player on the Spartans said was because a Columbus player said something about going after the ref with a gun. Then a fight bro...

How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play? I have been playing football for 11 years. Football clicked as soon as I put the pads on; there’s something about it that I can’t get enough of. I’d say the reason I continue to play is my love for the game. Who or what got you interested in playing footb...
