The chilling account of murder, which included the line, “It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window,” was resounding in my head as Pat I wafted off to sleep. Haley The ﬁrst noise awakened us about Contributing 12:45 a.m. It sounded like a faint columnist dog bark, but we knew that wasn’t possible since animals weren’t allowed in the low-priced motel, even with a cash deposit. The second time we heard a commotion it was about 1:30 in the morning; a man and woman next door were shouting and banging their door. Aggravated and still sleepy, I got up to call the front desk when I heard the man in the next room tell a woman he could stuff “him” into the trunk of the car, and no one would ever be the wiser. We knew we shouldn’t be eavesdropping, but this conversation sounded serious. “Do you think we should call the police?” Brenda asked breathlessly. “Shh! I want to hear what they are saying,” as I pressed my ear up against the thin wall separating rooms 102 and 104. Then, I heard the woman ask the man why he didn’t dress “him” in clothes and sneak out to the car. “Be quiet!” the man snapped back in a harsh, threatening voice. “You’ll wake everyone up.” Little did they know, Brenda and I were now wide awake. The couple kept talking and we kept listening, until ﬁnally they decided they were going to take “him” to the car and leave before someone called the police. We heard the woman say she was going back to bed, but the man insisted they were leaving and leaving then. “I’m going to walk up to the lobby and see if I can get a look at the couple in case the police want a description,” I said. “Please don’t,” Brenda replied. “They might stuff you in the trunk, too.” The clock struck two when I left the room and cautiously walked to the front desk. I looked at the clerk sleeping at the desk with her head in her hands. I didn’t disturb her. I opened the front door of the motel quietly and walked out into the parking lot to get a closer look. I stood back and watched, dead quiet. The big man came out of the room ﬁrst. He walked outside to a blue Chevrolet sedan sitting in a handicapped parking space near the back door of the motel. He looked around both sides of the car, then pulled a cell phone out of his back pocket and dialed a number. Within a minute, he put the phone back inside his pocket, leaning back against the car, lighting an unﬁltered Camel cigarette, as he threw the empty pack into a trash container. He acted like he was waiting on someone. The man was preoccupied with his cigarette and didn’t see or hear me. Without warning, my cell phone rang. It was Brenda. “Are you OK, honey?” she asked nervously. “Yes. Let’s get off the phone before this guy hears me,” I whispered to her. “I’m ﬁne.” As I walked back toward the front of the motel the back door opened and a blonde woman walked out with “him” over her shoulder — it was dressed in a black hoodie, and wrapped in a large, blue blanket. I carefully slipped behind a parked car to get a better look. Just as the woman approached the man in the sedan, I heard a loud bark, and the blanket started to move — I saw the head of a poodle pop-up from the blanket and then I heard several sharp barks. I heard the man tell the woman they wouldn’t have to put “him” in the trunk after all. The three of them, the man and woman in front, and the poodle in the backseat of the car, pulled out of the parking lot onto the busy highway. The man had lowered the back window enough that the poodle soon had its head outside the window, barking and smelling the air as dogs sometimes do. I walked back into the motel and asked the now awakened clerk if dogs were allowed inside the motel. She simply shook her head and pointed to a big, red sign that said, “No Dogs!” When I returned to our room, Brenda asked me what had happened. She wanted to know if they had a body. “There was a body alright, but it was a poodle who was very much alive,” I said. “Anyway, it made for an exciting evening. Wasn’t that blonde woman pretty?” Brenda asked. “Just ask the bishop,” I said, as I dialed the front desk for a wake-up call. She never answered. THEIR VIEW When a best friend dies Have you ever had a friend whom you could tell the most intimate secrets of your life? I’m not speaking of these couples who say that their spouses are their best friends. Many of us would concede that this is an impossibility. Could those claiming their spouses are their best friends tell them that they ﬁnd another person sexy, amazingly attractive, and that they dream about a special time with that person. Absolutely not as this would damage their current relationship. They might share their fears and their uncertainties with their spouses — if the spouse is patient, empathetic, willing to listen. Research in communication shows that many American men are not. Women, on the other hand, tend to be listeners, so as women, we turn to other women. Even so, we have few best friends. And one of mine is Dr. Karen LaRoe Williams. When I met Karen, her husband Joe had recently been killed in a single-car crash returning home from work. With two small children Karen had major decisions to make, and with the ﬁnancial and emotional support of her in-laws, Joe and Harriet West, she enrolled at diagnosed with Urbana College.

When Karen was ﬁrst in September of 2016, I thought of Karen. I knew I’d be no good on a farm: I’d be the one to sit and read as I’ve never had any luck with even a simple tomato plant, and my cooking skills are dreadful. Karen was the farm girl, knew all about it from her parents’ farm in southeastern Ohio although she had long ago given up plowing and fertilizing for designer suits and fancy shoes. She pictured herself as a stately woman, going to the pond to feed the ducks, supervising farm workers because she knew exactly when to plant and when to reap. She took great pride in her physical strength; her knowledge of the natural world. In spite of the best medical care and an attentive, intelligent, loving husband, Karen’s decline continued, and she continued to resist by ﬁshing, boating, exercising, golﬁng traveling and gardening. The end is near now and our conversations have gone from unintelligible words to silence. May Karen rest in peace. As my secrets, my fears, my doubts go with her; may I come to peace with losing her.

Quartus continued life in Syracuse where he mined coal, cut wood, worked his farm, and carried on civic activities and church duties until 1860 when he died from a stroke. According to The Old Brick by Myrtle Bridgeman-Dunn, At this time, [Quartus’ wife Rebecca] assumed the management of his business and the land. Rebecca Newell-Bridgeman was noted for being a very gifted and talented woman in her day, and was never known to waiver under difﬁculties. She was fortunate enough to have the assistance of a ﬁne [African-American] family, the Johnsons, whose house was located on the corner of her property. Quartus and Rebecca had six children. Their oldest, Zelda Bridgeman, married John Blair, superintendent of the Syracuse Coal and Salt Works. He also was a prosperous land holder in Meigs County, who was very active in local and school affairs. Emory Bridgeman graduated from Duff’s College in Pittsburgh; upon graduation, he and his brother Austin enlisted in Company F of the 63rd Volunteer Infantry, which was organized in Marietta. Upon their departure from the Bridgeman homestead, Emory broke off a branch from a newly cut ailanthus tree and stuck it in the ground alongside the road remarking, “let it stand until I come back.” Unfortunately, the two brothers would never return. The Ohio 63rd served under Major General John Pope in Missouri as part of the Ohio Brigade in the Army of the Mississippi. While ﬁghting there, Emory became ill and was discharged.

On April 28, 1863, Confederate forces, under Brigadier-General Albert G. Jenkins, left from Hamlin, W.Va., heading to Pt. Pleasant, W.Va., planning to attack a federal fort. A skirmish ensued with federal troops at Hurricane Bridge who were camped on the west side of Hurricane Creek. This was the 13th (West) Virginia Volunteer Infantry under Colonel W. R. Brown. After ﬁve hours of ﬁring from both sides, Gen. Jenkins withdrew from the ﬁghting and continued up Hurricane Creek Road to the Kanawha River. Confederate command sent a request to Brown for him to surrender, yet Brown declined to surrender. ﬁve hours of ﬁghting occurred, where the Confederates surrounded the federal troops on three sides, using three nearby hills to shoot from, using riﬂes and sharpshooters. The Union infantry held their positions, incurring a small number of casualties (four dead, one of which was Emory Bridgeman) and three wounded. Jenkins withdrew his forces from the ﬁght and took cover behind the hills, then continued on his way up the Kanawha Valley. Austin Bridgeman continued in the 63rd Ohio Infantry after the discharge of his brother. At New Madrid, Missouri, the 63rd was brigaded with other Ohio regiments in what became known as the Ohio Brigade. It took part in all the operations resulting in the surrender of Island No. 10. In April 1862, the 63rd OVI joined Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck’s forces near Corinth, Mississippi. After the evacuation, it operated in Northern Alabama and participated in the battles of Iuka and Corinth in the army of William S. Rosecrans. Colonel Sprague was promoted to brigadier general, and Oscar L. Jackson assumed command of the regiment. During 1863, the 63rd operated mostly in Northern Alabama and Tennessee.

In May it joined Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign and shared in all the battles to the end of the campaign. In the autumn, the 63rd took part in Sherman’s March to the Sea. Unfortunately for Austin Bridgeman, he was taken prisoner at the Battle of Atlanta and spent seven months in the infamous Andersonville prison. At the end of the war, Austin was one of the prisoners released and was to be sent home via the steamboat Sultana. According to the Library of Congress, On April 23, 1865, the vessel docked in Vicksburg, Mississippi to address issues with the boiler during a routine journey from New Orleans. While in port, it was contracted by the U.S. Government to carry former Union prisoners of war from Confederate prisons, such as Andersonville and Cahaba, back into Northern territory. In order to fulﬁll the lucrative contract, J. Cass Mason, the Sultana’s captain, opted to patch the leaky boiler rather than complete more extensive and time-consuming repairs.

Although it was designed to only hold 376 persons, more than 2,000 Union troops were crowded onto the steamboat — more than ﬁve times its legal carrying capacity. Despite concerns of overloading from several ofﬁcers, Williams refused to divide the men, insisting that they travel on one vessel. The Sultana steamed north up the Mississippi, but the severe overcrowding and faster river current caused by the spring thaw put increased pressure on its newly patched boilers. Shortly after leav- ing Memphis, Tennessee on April 27th, the overstrained boilers exploded, blowing apart the center of the boat and starting an uncontrollable ﬁre. Many of those who were not killed immediately perished as they tried to swim to shore. Of the initial survivors, 200 later died from burns sustained during the incident. Records indicate that 1,800 men died, making the Sultana incident the deadliest maritime disaster in U.S. history. Lonnis Bridgeman married Artemesia Young, of Racine, and went on to take over the Syracuse coal and salt business that was started by Quartus. It was Lonnis who discovered that after salt had been extracted from water, bromine could be made. Lonnis was also a successful superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school in Syracuse and in later years, superintendent of the district of the State Sunday School Union. He died in 1908. Melinda Bridgeman, known as Lynda, was said to be “very frail all her life.” Although she died in 1867 at the age of 18, she was said to have had a love of music and ﬂowers.

The Southern baseball team is headed back to the Division IV district tournament for the second time in the last three seasons, as the second-seeded Tornadoes claimed the program’s 22nd sectional title with a 6-5 victory over seventh-seeded Coal Grove on Tuesday at Star Mill Park. Southern (15-7) trailed 1-0 after the top of the ﬁrst inning, but evened the score as Billy Harmon drove in Gage Shuler in the bottom half. Shuler scored on an error in the bottom of the third to give the Tornadoes their ﬁrst lead, but the Hornets took a 4-2 advantage after a threerun ﬁfth frame. The Purple and Gold tied the game by the end of the sixth, as Shuler scored on an error in the ﬁfth and then Will Wickline singled home Ryan Acree in the following frame. Coal Grove reestablished its advantage with a run in the top of the seventh, but back-to-back RBI singles by Harmon and Jensen Anderson in the bottom half gave Southern the 6-5 victory. Anderson was the winning pitcher in one inning of relief work for SHS, striking out one batter, walking two, and giving up an unearned run and a hit. Harmon threw the ﬁrst six innings for the victors, striking out 14 batters, and surrendering four runs, one earned, on six hits and three walks. Shuler led the Tornado offense, going 2-for-3 with four runs scored. Acree and Noah Diddle both singled once and scored once in the win, Harmon singled once and drove in two runs, while Wickline and Anderson each added a single and an RBI to the winning cause. Ben Compliment and Tait Matney were both 2-for-4 with two runs scored to lead the guests at the plate. Both teams committed a trio of errors, and CGHS left 10 runners on base, twice as many as SHS. The Tornadoes will face third-seeded Green in the Division IV district semiﬁnal at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at VA Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

For now, the Lady Falcons are only concerned about reestablishing a winning streak over the next few days. It took eight innings, but the Wahama softball team suffered its ﬁrst loss since late March on Tuesday night during a 7-2 setback to visiting Sherman in the opening game of the Class A Region IV championships held in Mason County. The host Lady Falcons (27-2) built a quick 2-0 advantage in the bottom half of the ﬁrst, but a trio of singles and an error allowed the Lady Tide (29-4) to plate a pair of runs in the top of the fourth — tying the contest at two apiece. Despite numerous chances on both sides, the score remained deadlocked at two through the end of seven innings of regulation. SHS, however, put together six hits and also beneﬁted from an error in the top half of the eighth, which resulted in ﬁve runs and a commanding 7-2 cushion entering the home half of the eighth. WHS received a leadoff double from Tanner King, who was eventually thrown out at third during a pivotal double play that resulted in the ﬁrst two outs of the frame. The hosts followed with a 1-3 groundout to wrap up the ﬁnal ﬁve-run outcome. The win allows Sherman to take a 1-0 advantage in the bestof-three series, which shifts to Boone County By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — Another championship for an already packed trophy case. The Eastern baseball team earned the program’s 22nd sectional title — its ﬁfth straight and 14th in the last 15 seasons — on Tuesday at its home ﬁeld, as the top-seeded Eagles defeated ninth-seeded Miller by a 9-1 ﬁnal. Eastern (20-3) — which claimed victories of 13-3 and 10-0 over the Falcons (6-15) in the regular season — broke the scoreless tie on Tuesday in the bottom of the ﬁrst inning, as Blake Newland crossed the plate on a wild pitch. Next, Matthew Blanchard scored on an error, then Colton Reynolds tripled home Conner Ridenour and proceeded to score on a single from Ryan Harbour. Miller got a run back in the top of the third inning, but consecutive RBI sac-ﬂies from Reynolds and Harbour gave the hosts a 6-1 lead in the bottom of the frame. A two-run single by Nate Durst in the fourth and an RBI double from Blanchard in the sixth capped off the Eagles’ 9-1 triumph. Blanchard was the winning pitcher in a complete game on the hill for the hosts, striking out seven and allowing one earned run on four hits and six walks. Bartley took the loss on the mound for Miller. Leading the Eagles at the plate, Durst was 2-for-4 with a run scored and two runs batted in. Reynolds doubled once, scored once and drove in two runs for the victors, while Newland and Ridenour both doubled once and scored twice. Blanchard and Bruce Hawley both doubled once and scored once in the win, with Blanchard also picking up an RBI. Harbour contributed a single and two RBIs to the winning cause, while Isaiah Fish chipped in with a run. Cox led the MHS offense, going 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Dutiel and Vollmer both had one hit in the contest, with Dutiel earning an RBI. Neither team committed an error and Miller left nine runners on base, ﬁve more than EHS. The Eagles — with back-to-back 20-win seasons for the ﬁrst time in program history — head into the district tournament with three consecutive victories, as they ﬁnished off a 15-1 Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division championship season with a 7-6 victory over Waterford on Friday.

Sherman in Hartford, W.Va. on Wednesday night at 6 p.m. Wahama needs to win that contest to force an all-decisive Game 3 back in Hartford on Thursday evening at 6 p.m. The Lady Falcons opened up a two-run advantage in the bottom of the ﬁrst as Maddy VanMatre received a two-out walk and later scored on a double by Tanner King to right-center. King eventually crossed home plate on an error that allowed Lauren Noble to reach safely for a 2-0 edge. Wahama ended up stranding runners at second and third in the bottom of the fourth, then left the bases loaded with two away in the sixth. WHS also had runners at second and third with one away in the sixth frame. Sherman ended its scoring drought in the top half of the fourth as Hailea Skeens, Chelsea Thompson and Sydnee Ferrell provided three consecutive singles with one away. Skeens scored on the Ferrell single to make it a 2-1 contest. With runners at second and third, a return throw to the pitcher missed its mark and allowed Chelsea Thompson to come home on the error — ultimately knotting things up at two apiece. The Maroon and Gold — who stranded runners in scoring position in both the third and sixth innings — took their ﬁrst lead of the game after back-to-back doubles from Autumn Thompson and Haylee Clendenin resulted in Thompson scoring for a 3-2 edge. A passed ball moved Clendenin to third, then Skeens singled to left as Clendenin came home for a 4-2 cushion with one away. Autumn Thompson and Ferrell followed with consecutive singles, with Ferrell’s safety bringing in Skeens for a 5-2 edge. An error on the Ferrell hit also allowed Autumn Thompson to come around and score for a 6-2 contest. Ferrell later scored on a single by Zoie Hess to wrap up the ﬁve-run outcome. Sherman outhit the hosts by a 10-7 overall margin and also committed only one of the four errors in the contest. Wahama stranded seven runners on base, while the guests left ﬁve on the bags. Autumn Thompson was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one earned run, seven hits and three walks over eight innings while striking out ﬁve. Hannah Rose took the loss for WHS after surrendering six earned runs, 10 hits and two walks over eight frames while fanning two. Rose and King paced the Lady Falcons with two hits apiece, followed by Noble, Emma Gibbs and Victoria VanMatre with a safety apiece. King also accounted for the hosts’ lone RBI. Skeens led SHS with three hits, with Ferrell and Chelsea Thompson adding two safeties apiece to the winning cause. Clendenin, Hess and Autumn Thompson also had a hit each for the Lady Tide, while Ferrell knocked in a game-high two RBIs.

That may be changing very soon. The Pelicans bucked seriously long odds Tuesday night, winning the NBA draft lottery and the right to have the ﬁrst chance at selecting the former Duke star next month — and potentially pairing him with Anthony Davis, in what would immediately become one of the league’s most intriguing frontcourt duos. “I don’t believe the universe makes mistakes,” said David Grifﬁn, who is barely a month into his tenure as New Orleans’ executive vice president of basketball operations. “I just think we have something special going on.” Grifﬁn doesn’t play the lottery, unless the jackpot is one of those billion-dollar-type enormous ones. Maybe he should. The pingpong balls seem to bounce his way a lot. Grifﬁn was with Cleveland when the Cavaliers won the lottery in 2011, 2013 and 2014. And now it’s the Pelicans, his new employer, which has struck lottery gold. They deﬁed the odds to do it; the Pelicans entered the lottery with a 6% chance of winning the No. 1 pick for the June 20 draft. So now, instead of going into a summer where they may have traded Davis — the player New Orleans got when it won the lottery in 2012, the player who was openly disgruntled this season — the Pelicans have a chance at becoming much better, and fast. “This just jump-starts the process,” Grifﬁn said. “It’ll be harder for me to mess it up than it would have been before this.” Memphis will choose second, New York third and the Los Angeles Lakers will pick fourth. The Pelicans, Grizzlies and Lakers all moved up to get a top-four spot; New York, Phoenix and Cleveland had the best odds of winning the lottery at 14% each, and none of those clubs even got a top-two pick. The lottery had a new format this year, one that the league hoped would even the playing ﬁeld in a number of ways and didn’t make all-out tanking a more enticing option to teams looking to maximize their chance at securing the No. 1 pick. The Knicks, Suns and Cavs didn’t have much interest in winning this season, with none winning more than 19 games. The ping-pong balls apparently weren’t interested in having them win the lottery, either. “I don’t think you should ever not play to win basketball games,” Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. “I don’t see where it would help you.” Cleveland will pick ﬁfth, followed by Phoenix, Chicago and Atlanta. Washington has the No. 9 pick, Atlanta goes again at 10 and Minnesota is at No. 11. Charlotte is next up, followed by Miami at 13 and Boston at 14. That pick was conveyed to the Celtics by Sacramento as part of an earlier trade. The Hawks felt they were big winners, too, after getting two top-10 picks. “There are always good players,” said Hawks guard Kevin Huerter, the No. 19 pick in last year’s draft and part of Atlanta’s contingent at the lottery. “Every team just has to go out and ﬁnd them.” UCF center Tacko Fall, the 7-foot-6 draft hopeful, played against Williamson in the second round of the NCAA tournament — a 77-76 Duke victory that went down to the very last moment, a game where Williamson scored 32 points. Fall was asked Tuesday who he would take with the No. 1 pick in this draft, and he did not hesitate for even a second before answering. “Zion,” Fall said. “He’s a once-in-a-generation player. I’d seen him on TV a lot, but when you play against this kid, you just see it. He’s different.” Murray State’s Ja Morant, projected by many as a strong candidate to be chosen No. 2 overall, was among the players in the audience viewing the proceedings. “I don’t have any reaction,” Morant said. “I was just excited to be here and be in the position that I’m in and just to see how it all played out. Honestly, I don’t know what number or where I’ll land. Obviously, whatever team drafts me, I’ll be happy to go there and bring it every night.” Williamson was one of three now-former Duke starters at the lottery — R.J. Barrett and Cam Reddish were among the invited players as well. Barrett and Reddish don’t know where they’re heading. Williamson now has a pretty good idea. Aided by a lucky tie that came from Cavaliers executive Jeff Cohen — the one Cohen wore for all three of Cleveland’s lottery wins, and one Grifﬁn insisted he get to use this year — along with an angel pin that belonged to his grandmother and the winning ping-pong ball combination of 7-4-12-13, Grifﬁn is already off to a ﬂying start in New Orleans. And maybe Davis will be more interested in staying now. “I don’t think it’ll play into it hugely,” Grifﬁn said. “If he was open-minded to believing that we could build a winner around him, he’s more openminded to it. … We’re going to build something that we hope everyone wants to be part of and I believed very strongly Anthony’s going to want to be part of that whether we win this or not. I think when you have elite talent, that tends to attract other truly elite talent.” Beilein: Leaving Michigan for Cavs is ‘right thing to do’ CHICAGO (AP) — Whether it was the right time to leave Michigan for the Cleveland Cavaliers, John Beilein wasn’t sure. One thing he had no doubt about was this: It was the right move to make. Beilein decided it was time to jump to the NBA and see if he can win on basketball’s biggest stage after molding winners at the college level for 41 years. “There’s never a good time to leave,” he said following the draft lottery in Chicago on Tuesday. “You can make a couple choices. You can leave too early or you can leave too late. You never know when to leave. This was an opportunity that has so much potential it was too difﬁcult to pass up.

We’ve got some guys with a lot of experience, especially with winning. I talked with all the players today. I feel a good karma right now. Last year, although it was difﬁcult for all, we all learned a lot. Everybody’s gonna grow from it and attack next year with a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of spirit, a lot of optimism.” Beilein sees big potential in a team with an All-Star forward in Love, promising point guard Collin Sexton, Larry Nance Jr. and Jordan Clarkson. The Cavaliers also have a chance to draft a potential cornerstone player after landing the No. 5 overall pick on Tuesday, not to mention another ﬁrst-rounder at No. 26 overall.

Conkey tossed a one-hit shutout against 12th-ranked TruettMcConnell (Ga.) University, while Hastings blanked Louisiana State University-Alexandria on two hits to send the RedStorm into the championship round of the NAIA Softball National Championship Opening Round’s Lawrenceville Bracket. Tuesday’s 1-0 win over second-seeded Truett-McConnell at the Grizzly Softball Complex and subsequent 3-0 triumph over LSUAlexandria, the bracket’s No. 3 seed, put Rio Grande (36-15) opposite of top-seeded - and eighth-ranked - Georgia Gwinnett College (4114) in Wednesday’s title matchup. Courtesy photo Rio Grande’s Michaela Criner slides in safely for the game’s lone run in a 1-0 win over Truett-McConnell (Ga.) during Tuesday’s play in the Lawrenceville Bracket of the NAIA Softball National Championship Opening Round in Lawrenceville, Ga. The RedStorm also defeated LSU-Alexandria to earn a berth in Wednesday’s title game. The fourth-seeded RedStorm, who fell to the Grizzlies in Monday’s opening round, would need a pair of wins over the tourney host to earn the program’s ﬁrst-ever trip to the NAIA World Series. Georgia Gwinnett, which held off LSUAlexandria, 8-6, in Tuesday’s winner bracket ﬁnal, needs just one win to secure its second straight Series berth. Wednesday’s championship ﬁrst ﬁnal is scheduled for a noon start. A second ﬁnal, if necessary, will begin 40 minutes after the conclusion of the opening contest. In Tuesday’s opener against Truett-McConnell, Conkey came within three outs of tossing a no-hitter. A clean, bloop single to right-center off the bat of Liz Bunton to begin the seventh inning ended her bid for history. Conkey, a senior righthander from Minford, Ohio, walked two and hit one batter while striking out three en route to her sixth shut- out of the season. Rio Grande scored the game’s lone run in the third inning when junior Michaela Criner (Bremen, OH) reached on a one-out single, moved to second on a groundout and rode home on an opposite ﬁeld single to left by freshman Taylor Webb (Willow Wood, OH). Criner ﬁnished with three of the RedStorm’s seven hits in the win. Karley Hobbs (29-4) started and took the loss for Truett-McConnell, which ﬁnished its season at 42-11. Hobbs allowed seven hits and two walks in a complete game effort. She was the losing pitcher in each of the Bears’ two outings in the tourney - both 1-0 losses. Hastings, a sophomore right-hander from Commercial Point, Ohio, took a no-hitter into the sixth inning against LSU-Alexandria. Despite the lack of a hit, the Generals (3416) failed to cash in on scoring opportunities by stranding runners in scoring position in both the second and third innings. Rio also left runners in scoring position in the ﬁrst and third innings before ﬁnally getting on the scoreboard in the ﬁfth inning. Sophomore Cammy Hesson (Point Pleasant, WV) led off with a walk and scored on a triple to left-center by Criner, who became the ﬁrst player in the country to reach double-ﬁgures in all three extra-base hit categories. LSU-A starter Abbey McMillan was lifted in favor of Ryleigh Rutherford, who coaxed junior Lexi Philen (Tallmadge, OH) into a routine grounder to second base against a drawn- in inﬁeld, but the ball was booted for an error allowing Criner to score. Webb then bunter Philen into scoring position and Conkey followed with an RBI single to center. Bailey McCleary led off the sixth with a clean single to left to end Hastings’ no-hit bid, but was forced at second on a ﬁelder’s choice grounder to short by Alexis Hagan. A throwing error on the same play and a subsequent ﬂyout allowed Hagan to reach third, but the scoring threat died when Emily Daniel grounded out to shortstop. The Generals’ ﬁnal hit came on a one-out single by Haylee Tidwell in the seventh, but Hastings retired the next two batters on a groundout and a liner to a leaping Philen at second base to close things out. Hastings walked just one and struck out only one in tossing her fourth shutout of the year. Philen added a triple in the winning effort. McMillian suffered the loss for LSU-A, allowing four hits, three walks and two runs over fourplus innings. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. Top-ranked Fire pulls away from RedStorm By Randy Payton lead before limiting the RedStorm to just one hit over the ﬁnal eight MACON, Ga. — Top- frames en route to a 7-2 victory in the winranked Southeastern (Fla.) University spotted ner’s bracket ﬁnal of the NAIA Baseball National the University of Rio Championship Opening Grande a ﬁrst inning For Ohio Valley Publishing Round Macon Bracket, Tuesday afternoon, at historic Luther Williams Field. The top-seeded Fire improved to 50-10 with the win and earned a berth in Wednesday’s championship ﬁrst ﬁnal of the double-elimination tournament at 2:30 p.m. Rio Grande, the tourney’s No. 3 seed, slipped to 39-20 with the loss and will face secondseeded - and 10th-ranked - Middle Georgia State in Wednesday’s 11 a.m. loser’s bracket ﬁnal with the winner advancing to the title game. The host Knights, who fell to the RedStorm in Monday’s ﬁrst round, remained alive with elimination wins over No. 4 seed Huntington (Ind.) and ﬁfth-seeded University of British Columbia in Tuesday’s other games. Southeastern took a 1-0 lead in the ﬁrst inning when Manuel Mesa opened the game with an inﬁeld single, stole second, moved to third on single by Dominic Anagnos and scored when Ivan Nunez grounded into a double play. Rio Grande gained the lead with a two-our rally in the bottom of the inning. Senior David Rodriguez (Santo Domingo, D.R.) singled and moved to second on an error before scoring moments later on a double by senior Michael Rodriguez (Santo Domingo, D.R.). Junior Eli Daniels (Minford, OH) followed with a walk, setting the stage for a run-scoring single by freshman Gustavo Nava (Barranquilla, Columbia) which made it 2-1. However, the RedStorm managed just one hit and advanced only two runners beyond ﬁrst base the rest of the way. Freshman Brandon Pritchard (Janesville, OH) singled with one out in the second and eventually reached second base on a two-out wild pitch, while David Rodriguez walked with one out in the ﬁfth and moved to second when Daniels was hit by a pitch with two outs. Neither moved any further. Meanwhile, Rio junior starter Zach Kendall (Troy, OH) did his best to maintain the RedStorm’s early advantage against an offense which ranks either ﬁrst or second nationally in nine different categories. The lead held up until the Fire pushed across three runs in the ﬁfth to take the lead for good. Consecutive one-out hits by Adam DeLaCruz, Willie Estrada and Mesa knotted the score at 2-2, while an inﬁeld hit by Nunez broke the deadlock and an error later in the frame pushed the Southeastern lead to 4-2. That’s how things stayed until the ninth, when the Fire parlayed three hits and another Rio error into a second three-run inning which squashed any hopes of the RedStorm rallying for a stunning win. Estrada opened the inning with a single and was replaced by pinchrunner Alec Thomas, who moved to third when Mesa reached on an error. Kendall was lifted in favor of freshman Victor Feliz (Santo Domingo, D.R.), who promptly walked Anagnos to load the bases. A single by Nunez made it 5-2 and a ground-rule double off the bat of pinch-hitter Dan Valerio plated two more runs to set the ﬁnal score. Kendall suffered the loss for Rio Grande, allowing 13 hits and six runs - only three of which were earned over eight-plus innings. Kevin Long started and got the win for Southeastern, allowing four hits and two runs over seven innings. He also walked four and struck out six. Heibert Romero struck out one in two scoreless innings of relief to get a save. Nunez and Estrada both had three hits to lead the Fire offensively, while Mesa and Mike Taylor, Jr. contributed two hits in each in a 15-hit attack.
