Barons top Warriors in key MOAC clash

0

Evan Ulrich had a big day at the plate and Ben Atiyeh more than held up his end of the bargain on the mound as the Buckeye Valley baseball team rallied for a key MOAC win over host Ontario — the defending league champ — Tuesday afternoon.

Ulrich, who finished 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored, evened things at two, sparking a four-run fifth inning with a two-run single to left.

Fletcher Holquist followed Ulrich’s hit with a sacrifice fly to give the Barons a lead they never relinquished. Atiyeh then doubled home Ulrich to cap the big inning and Ulrich added a little insurance with an RBI double in the sixth.

Atiyeh and the defense behind him took care of the rest. He allowed just two runs on four hits while striking out four and walking three in the complete-game win.

SOFTBALL

Arielle Brown broke a 5-all tie with a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to lift Big Walnut to a 6-5 non-league win over host Worthington Kilbourne Tuesday afternoon.

Molly Sharpe, who also homered in the win, and Alyssa Tarney had two RBI apiece while Autumn Imhoff picked up the win in the circle.
