Chargers baseball blanked by North Posey Thursday By Mike Sandifar North Posey High School took advantage of a youthful Pike Central High School on the diamond Thursday to take a 12-0 Pocket Athletic Confer- ence (PAC) baseball encoun- ter in five innings to remain unbeaten in conference action. The host Vikings jumped out to a quick 6 -0 advantage after one inning, then anoth- er two runs in the bottom of the second frame and plated three more runs in the bot- tom of the third, before push- ing one run home in the bot- tom of the fourth. Leading 12-0 after the Char- gers batted in their half of the fifth inning, the Vikings did not go to the plate in the bot- tom of the fifth inning, due to the 10 -run rule. "I think time will show that North Posey just might be the best team in the PAC," said Charger Coach Jacob West- ern after the game, "They are skilled at every position, and they have outstanding pitch- ing—and as a team, they can really hit the baseball." The Vikings hammered out 10 hits in their four at bats, with senior Jaydyn Wehmer, freshman Easton Luigs, and sophomore Adyn Collins all getting two hits on the day. The Chargers came up with three hits in the contest, one each by junior Alex Clark, sophomore Isaac Burdett, sophomore Peyton Howald, and sophomore Jagar Dent. Freshman Jarod Farrar got credit for the win for the hosts. Farrar allowed just two hits, struck out four Chargers and did not walk a batter in his five innings. The Vikings did not make a fielding error behind the first-year performer. The victory gave North Posey a 4-4 overall record, including a perfect 3-0 PAC mark, while the loss left Pike Central at 0 -6 on the 2021 dia- mond campaign, including 0 - 3 in league play.
