2012 Osage Baseball This summer is looking good to Osage head baseball coach Mark Mohl, probably because he has nearly a dozen returning letter winners and several newcomers to learn from them. “We look to have another good year,” said Mohl. “We lost many good players from last year but have a good mix of returning players and newcomers.” Returning letter winners for the Green Devils include sophomore Trevor Haaland, senior Matt Bushbaum, senior Chris Weigle, senior Luke Hanke, junior Colin Barker, senior Josh Lackore, senior Ben Schwarting, senior Tanner Molitor, sophomore Chris Hanke, sophomore Nick Weigle and senior Garrett Spitz. “We have many great kids so it should be a fun year,” said Mohl. The Green Devils start off the 2012 season at home against North Butler this week.

Saint Ansgar baseball head coach of ten years, Devin Schwiesow, will be looking for the leadership of returning players to improve the offense of the Saints. “With most of our pitching staff and defensive starters returning,” said Schwiesow, “we look for these to be the strength of our team.” The Saints will see the return of All-Conference seniors Garrett Patterson (pitcher/first), Cael Halfman (pitcher/outfield), Cody Beaver (catcher/first), Jackson Steinberg (outfield), and junior Skyler Hulshizer (pitcher/outfield). Other returning letter winners for St. Ansgar include senior Riley Salz (outfield), junior Brandon Salz (outfield), sophomore Bret Williams (pitcher/shortstop), sophomore Sterling Adams (pitcher/third), and sophomore Sawyer Dalluge (outfield). “We have had great leadership out of our captains in the offseason,” said Schwiesow. “We hope that their leadership, and the work ethic of our younger athletes, pays off this summer.” St. Ansgar had a record of 12-2 in the Cornbowl Conference last year, placing second, and 19-12 overall. The Saints will host their first home game today (23rd) against the Crestwood Cadets.

Second-year head coach of the Saints, Katie Nielsen, will have a younger team for 2012, but not without experience. “We will definitely be a younger team with one senior and two juniors,” said Nielsen. “We will have some big shoes to fill with two players graduating and the late Ally Smith, who will be missed tremendously on defense and offense.” To help fill those shoes is returning letter winner and second team all conference infielder Lindy Mayer. Other returning letter winners include senior Lauren Wilde (first base), junior Michelle Hemann (second base), sophomore Paige Salz (third base, pitcher), sophomore Calli Hansen (outfield), sophomore Autumn Brigham (outfield), freshman Brianna Lowe (outfield), freshman Noelle Hulshizer (pitcher), freshman Natalie Halfman (pitcher, outfield), and freshman Melanie Gerbig (DP, pitcher). “The girls have really been working hard in the offseason to improve on pitching skills and hitting fundamentals,” said Nielsen. The Saints finished the 2011 season with a record of 7-7 in the Cornbowl Conference, tying for fourth place, and 14-14 overall. The Saints started their 2012 season on Tuesday against Osage and will have their next home game on June 1st against North Butler.
