Carrollton baseball caps off successful diamond season It’s been quite a season for the Carrollton baseball team. As sophomores, this year’s sen-
iors had just two wins. This year, they will end with no less than 16 victories.
Senior Mason Voulgares got his first start of the season last week in a conference game against Salem at Carrollton.
“The seniors have come a long way since they were sophomores,” said head coach Butch Wood. “I am just so proud of them. They have displayed great leadership, have never given up and have shown great leadership to the younger kids. They are going to be missed.” The Warriors began tournament play last week in the Division II sectional at Vaccaro Field in Steubenville, where they pulled out a 6-5 win over Indian Creek in their opening game last Wednesday. The Warriors made the most of their seven hits in the game, Tyler Krantz had a hit and two RBI for the Warriors, while Jeremiah Lowery recorded two hits, a RBI and a run scored. Adam Warner, Andrew Collins, Storm Mohn and Mirko Dobrijevic also had singles for Carrollton. Carrollton struck first with a run in the bottom of the first. Indian Creek came back in the top of the second and plated two runs for a 21 advantage. Carrollton tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the second and took the lead for good by scoring two runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings. Creek held a brief 3-2 lead in the third inning and added its final two in the sixth. Lowery was on the mound for the Warriors and went the distance. He gave up 10 hits, five runs and walked five. Last Saturday in the sectional championship game, the Warriors fell to Harrison Central 8-7 in a 12inning marathon. (Continued on B-2)
