Gavin Carter tossed a complete game four-hitter and Clayton Leeth hit an inside the park home run to help lead Lincolnview over Wayne Trace 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leeth\u2019s round tripper was a solo shot to center in the first inning. He also had an RBI single in the sixth that plated Carter and gave the Lancers some breathing room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview\u2019s remaining run came in the second, when Evan Miller stole home, and Wayne Trace\u2019s lone score came in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to allowing just four hits, Carter struck out eight Raider batters and walked just two. He also had a hit, as did Carson Fox, Jared Kesler and Kyle Hamilton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers (3-2) will play at Delphos Jefferson at 6 p.m. today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shawnee 8 Van Wert 5<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shawnee jumped out to a 3-1 first inning lead, led 8-1 in the top of the fourth, then held on for 8-5 win over host Van Wert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trailing 3-0, Van Wert’s Kaiden Bates scored on a fielder\u2019s choice in the first, then the Cougars added a pair of runs in the fourth, when Owen Treece doubled home Bates and Jacob Place, then Turner Witten singled in Treece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Wert (5-5) scored again in the fifth when Blaze Bolenbaugh\u2019s RBI single plated Joshua Reichert to make it 8-5. The Cougars managed to load the bases with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, but a strikeout ended the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethan Rupert pitched the first three innings and allowed eight runs (two earned) on seven hits with three strikeouts. Reichert pitched two innings and allow one hit and struck out one, and Witten pitched the final two innings and recorded three strikeouts, one hit and one walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van Wert committed five errors in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cougars will play at Delphos St. John\u2019s on Monday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
