CC pitchers pitch no hitter

Central Catholic, Crawfordsville pitch no-hitters

By JCOnline

Tuesday was no-hitter day for three Lafayette area pitchers.

Central Catholic's Austin Munn and Andrew Hubertz combined on a no-hitter in the Knights' 10-1 victory over Tri-Central.

Cory Rice was nearly untouchable, striking out 14 in Crawfordsville's 9-0, five-inning home victory over Tri-West.

Munn (1-0) had seven strikeouts for the Class A No. 5 Knights (3-1), who broke out of an early season slump with nine hits. Hubertz struck out the side in the seventh.

Jake Churchill was 3-for-5 with an RBI. Brett Haan was 2-for-3 with three RBIs, including a two-run double in the fourth.

In the Crawfordsville victory, Rice (1-2) struck out the side in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. He induced a groundout by Matt Pope in the third inning after hitting Mitch Alexander with a pitch. Rice also walked a batter.

Chris Minks hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning for Crawfordsville (3-3, 1-0 Sagamore Conference).

CC vs Twin Lakes

CC squeezes out victory

The Knights are 2-1 despite scoring three runs this season. CC scored without a hit in the second inning off Twin Lakes pitcher Jordan Crabb.

Nick Stone reached on an error and went to third when Crabb's pickoff throw was wild. One out later, Trae Bobillo laid down a suicide squeeze bunt that scored Stone.

Haan (2-1) struck out nine.

Central Catholics 2011 Preview

By JCOnline:

Head coach: Tim Bordenet (304-104-1 in 12 seasons with Central Catholic; 329-140-1 in 14 seasons overall)

2010 results: 27-7 (10-0 Hoosier Heartland Conference)

Top hitters: Austin Munn, jr., OF/P (.366 avg., 24 runs, 3 HR, 29 RBIs); Brett Haan, sr., OF/P (.417, 5 runs); Devin Morgan, sr., C (.350, 8 runs, 7 RBIs); Jake Churchill, soph., SS (.313, 6 runs); Ryan DeBoy, soph., 1B (.250, 9 runs, 1 HR, 13 RBIs).

Top pitchers: Haan (7-2, 1.22 ERA, 46 IP, 50 SO); Munn (5-1, 3.05 ERA, 362/3 IP, 50 SO); Nick Stone, jr. (3-1, 3.36 ERA, 162/3 IP, 14 SO).

Outlook: Central Catholic, the preseason Class A No. 1, is trying to become the second team to win three straight state titles (Jasper, 1996-98). While ace Taylor Glaze graduated, Haan, Munn and Stone combined to go 15-4 last season. Danny Anthrop, the starting second baseman on last year's title team, will not play due to wrist surgery.

Hammered by Harrison

We lost to local foe Harrison tonight 8-1. CC must find some bats somewhere as we've scored only 2 runs between the 2 games, winning one of those tho. Ironically we scored our 1 run tonight in the 1st inning just as we did with Burlington, WI. That run was scored on an error.

Nick has not thrown in practice for 2 weeks but came in tonight for 3 2/3 innings I think. He gave up 4 runs, not all of those were earned runs tho. I think we had 3 errors in those innings. He threw a runner out while in left field on a drive into the gap, got the runner trying to stretch it to a double.

Lots of work to do for a 3peat!

Harrison's Richards two-hits CC

By Staff Reports
Vonn Richards threw a two-hitter and Harrison’s bats gave him plenty of support in a season-opening 8-1 victory over Central Catholic at Leming Field on Tuesday.

Richards walked one and struck out five, allowing only a double and a single to CC leadoff hitter Jake Churchill. He retired 11 straight batters from the third through the sixth innings and didn’t allow a hit after the third.

Harrison catcher Daniel Fleming went 3-for-4 with a double, scoring two runs and driving in two. Michael Carnahan went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and scored twice.
