The Lanesville Lady Eagles eked out a big 3-2 victory over the North Harrison Lady Cats at Lanesville Monday afternoon (May 4) in varsity softball action. In the most recent coaches’ poll, Lanesville was ranked no. 12 in Class 1A, and in Class 3A, North Harrison was ranked no. 15. Lanesville started off scoring in the bottom of the 1st inning, when Ashley Schoen hit a round trip solo shot over the left center field fence. North Harrison took a brief 2-1 lead in the top of the 2nd inning, when Sasha Grangier and Alyssa McAfee both singled safely for the Lady Cats. A bit later, Kristin Hoehn scored a North Harrison runner with a successful bunt. Then Lady Cats’ pitcher Courtney Crone scored another runner with a ground out. The Lady Eagles didn’t sit still in the bottom of the 2nd frame. Drawing a walk for the Lady Eagles was Elizabeth Sacasas, and Kari McCormick managed to single in a close play at first base. An error gave Sacasas a chance to score and tie the game up at 2-2, and Erin Dorgay later scored the winning run on a routine ground out. Neither team managed to score the remaining five innings of play.

The Lanesville girls’ tennis squad won a 3-2 decision over the team from Henryville Thursday at the Lanesville courts. The match was not a Southern Athletic Conference match; the match between the two schools on April 15 was the official conference match. Incidentally, Lanesville won that match 3-2 as well. Caroline Turcotte, normally Lanesville’s no. 1 singles player, was ill, so instead LeAnne Myers played in the no. 1 position. Henryville’s Casey Guernsey defeated Myers at no. 1 singles, 7-6, 7-5. The line up was switched around at several other positions as well.

Borden drops 4-3 decision to CAI on road in baseball

Borden fell behind early in a game at Christian Academy Indiana (CAI) Tuesday, May 5, but mounted a comeback that ultimately fell short, and ended up losing 4-3 in a look at two Class 1A sectional opponents about three weeks before the sectional. CAI had scored lone runs in the bottom of the 1st and 3rd innings, but it wasn’t until the bottom of the 5th frame that the Warriors really did the damage to the Braves. CAI loaded the bases with one out, when two more CAI runs went across home plate. Borden answered with three runs in the top of the 6th inning. Kamm Thompson led off with a double, and then stole third base. Ethan Little then pop flied to first base for the first out. Drake Potts then singled in Thompson. Dylan Martin then hit a two-RBI home run to get the Braves within one run. As it turns out, they were unable to make it up, and the Warriors took the contest. Borden coach Brian Agnew was glad to see the team attempt to come back, but he wished it had been a little bit bigger come back.
