BUCYRUS — Carey, Mohawk and Wynford all qualified multiple athletes for regionals in the completion of the Division III district track and field meet Saturday at Bucyrus. The top four finishers in each event qualify for this week’s regional competition.

SHELBY — Four inches. That is approximately how far Lucas first baseman Liz Yirga’s game ending flyout came from tying the Division IV district final between the Mohawk and Lucas softball teams on Friday at Shelby. With the Warriors leading by four runs, starting pitcher Hannah Jordan retired the first two batters, but Erica Westfield hit an infield single and Frankie Depue reached on an error at third to bring up Morgan Spitler, who belted a two-run triple to deep left center.

FINDLAY — If Carey could have kept it a close game going into the bottom of the seventh, it might have a chance for yet another dramatic comeback. But the Blue Devils’ mistakes finally caught up to them in a seven-run seventh inning as North Baltimore gave itself plenty of cushion to knock off the top-seeded and state No. 2 team, 10-3, in a Division IV district final Friday at the Findlay Marathon Diamonds.

OAK HARBOR — Upper Sandusky qualified two more athletes for regionals, giving it three total. The Rams’ Kenedi Hayden and Hannah Gier both advance from Division II district competition Friday at Oak Harbor, joining Dylan Ham, who earned his regional spot on the first day of the meet Wednesday.

SHELBY — The ability to execute small ball and clutch hitting have been two elements of the Wynford baseball team’s success the last two weeks. During Thursday’s Division III district semifinal versus Galion, the Royals successfully executed in both areas as the No. 10 seeded Royals upset the No. 1 seed Galion, 6-5, at Shelby.

FINDLAY — Starting with the first batter, things simply did not go well for the Carey softball team Thursday. Makenna Ray lined the second pitch of the game down the right field line for a home run, sparking a four-run first inning and leading North Baltimore to a 9-2 victory against Carey in a Division IV district final Thursday at the Findlay Marathon Diamonds.

BUCYRUS — Several local athletes punched their tickets to regional competition during the first day of Division III track and field competition Thursday at Bucyrus. In girls competition, Carey’s Lilly Adkins and Dana Worst in the discus, Wynford’s Lainey Holman in the high jump and Mohawk’s Taeylor Mullholand in the high jump and the 3200 relay team all had top-four finishes to qualify for next week’s regionals.

FINDLAY — Riverdale’s Taylor Bacon and Tayler Ashburn qualified for regionals on the first day of Division III district track and field competition Thursday at Findlay.

FINDLAY — Coming into Wednesday’s Division IV district semifinal against Riverdale, Carey sophomore Reece Mullholand had never hit a game-winner. But with the game tied in the bottom of the seventh inning, he was given the opportunity to do just that.

GALION — When Mohawk put a run on the board in the fourth inning, it seemed like it could be just what it needed to lead to a victory Wednesday in a Division IV district semifinal game at Galion’s Heise Park. But South Central used an infield hit and a walk to spark a three-run bottom of the fourth on its way to a 6-1 victory.
