Eldo 2 Butler 1

The game was scoreless through three innings with both Eldo and Adrian scoring one run each in the fourth inning.  Eldo was able to go up in the top half of the seventh inning to hold on 2-1 in the semi finals of the OHC tournament Saturday afternoon. Connor Bradley, Rylun Mays, Brett Alexander, and Cooper Greathouse lead the way offensively.  Karson Burley threw all seven innings to get the win.

Karson Burley was amazing on the mound for us today and was extremely efficient.  He was very focused, not allowing anything to bother him.  This was the best game that I have seen Karson throw in his three years as a Bulldog.  This was a big win for us, giving us a chance to play in the championship game.

Eldo 3  Warsaw 6

In the OHC Championship game Eldo came out with a two spot in the first inning leading two to one.  Warsaw added one run in the second inning to tie the game at two after two.  Eldo and Warsaw each scored a run in the third inning.  Warsaw was able to put up a three spot in the fifth holding on for a 6-3 game.

Eldo was led offensively by Brett Alexander, Karson Burley, and KanDyn Ewert.  Karson had two RBI with Ewert having one as well.  KanDyn threw the first three innings with Cooper Brown working into the fifth inning before Rylun Mays threw the final  inning and two thirds.

It was an extremely hard fought game from both sides.  I was so proud of the intensity and mental toughness displayed by all against a very good Warsaw team.  Rylun Mays was very zoned in tonight on the mound,  giving us a chance to win in the final two innings.  Things are really starting to click for Rylun the last three games.  His mental toughness has improved dramatically and has always had the ability to be successful.  I am very proud of his growth and look forward to what he will do for us the rest of the season!

Eldo finished second in the OHC tournament standings winning six of nine conference games.  Eldo is now 7-14 on the year with three regular season games left before district play.
