He will be in right field or left field, I'm sorry. Batting eighth will be Brevin Dale. He will be DH for Dominic Medougal, who will be the pitcher. And batting ninth will be Cooper Pick. I'm sorry, you need to go back and listen to that interview. That was very informative. Very good one. I appreciate Jeff Lafavre coming on and visiting with us about what's going on with Caleb and the opportunities that are ahead for him. And he's, you know, you missed it. I know you'll go back and listen to it, but he's heading to the draft combine down in Arizona June 22nd through the 27th. Major League Draft is July 11th and 12th. And he's he's gonna go down and you know basically find out where he where he falls and what's going on down there. And there's 300 kids that are down there. Most of them are already down there because their baseball season's done. Iowa's the only state that plays in the summer, so that's part of the reason Caleb's taking the break is so he can get his mind right, his body right, uh work on some things that he needs to work on and do the best that he can do when he's down there.

SPEAKER_07 1:55

You know, uh getting seventh playing left field, number nine, Jacob Jennery.

SPEAKER_09 2:03

Actually, I was actually talking to his wife after that there and got a lot of that same information um that Jeff was to Mr. and Mr. Kennedy. And here's the thing I mean Caleb Caleb is a is a great looking, not just a pitcher, but a good ball player. He's six foot six, six foot seven. You can't teach that Mike, and he's throwing in the mid-90s. Uh uh with the chance of obviously to throw even harder. And obviously he is he has uh attracted several professional scouts, if not all of the teams, have been to a game this year that he has started and pitched and that we have called. And and we've noted that. I mean, the minute he goes out of the game, the place clears out, and uh we may never see that again, to be quite honest with you.

SPEAKER_06 2:58

Yeah, it's it's been a nice thing to see, it really has.

SPEAKER_09 3:02

And the other thing about that, Mike, and I know we're getting ready to start here, is that if you're another player and you see these scouts there, what a great opportunity for you. Because you don't know the connections that those scouts have with colleges, uh, you know, and other pro teams. And they might come looking, I've heard this several times, they come looking at one guy, and and somebody else has a terrific name and it catches their eye, and that's how a lot of guys get drafted.

SPEAKER_06 3:33

Yeah, absolutely, and that's uh you know, him having uh Caleb on the team is it's a benefit for many reasons. He's a great teammate, great kid, but it it gives exposure to some of these kids that wouldn't normally get that exposure. Tommy Carroll steps in to lead off for the Crusaders. First pitch in there for a ball, one ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 3:52

Well, talking to Tommy Carroll's dad here. Boom. G many rip that Tommy gets hold of another one.

SPEAKER_06 4:00

It's over the left fielder's or center fielder's head. Carroll in with a double.

SPEAKER_09 4:05

He is absolutely zoned in tonight, and he is ripping the ball. And that's not even his bat, Mike. His last bat, he broke his bat in half. So he's using somebody else's bat now, and he's still stroking it.

SPEAKER_06 4:22

Nice job there by Carroll to lead off with the double. That'll bring Erickson to the plate.

SPEAKER_07 4:26

Catcher number 12, Peyton Erickson.

SPEAKER_06 4:29

So Healing with the chance to make some noise here right away in game number two. I gotta get rid of some of these papers, John. I got way too many. That pitch in there for strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 4:51

That beautiful pitch. Uh got the outside corner. I mean, what a great, great situation. Guy on second base here, first inning.

SPEAKER_06 5:03

McDougal delivers. That pitch fouled out of play. No balls, two strikes to Erickson. JJ Hope, do up next.

SPEAKER_09 5:11

Yeah, I think Payton was look looking for that curveball that he threw him. And uh good job keeping his weight back, but uh McDougal throws him a fastball, so he's a little behind on it. Hit a foul off to the right side.

SPEAKER_06 5:30

Checks the runner at second, deals to the plate. Swinging a miss, strike three. Strikeout number one. First out of the inning for the Crusaders. That'll bring JJ Hope to the plate. Chaner do up next.

SPEAKER_07 5:44

JJ Hope.

SPEAKER_09 5:51

I'm hoping you brought that uh stash of gum from the last one. I I'm out. I thought I had another piece in my pocket here, Mike, and I'm out.

SPEAKER_06 6:04

Here's the pitch. High for ball one, one ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 6:09

Yeah, McDougal comes with that uh, he's not necessarily over the top. He's got kind of about uh about a half up release on the ball, kind of over by his shoulders.

SPEAKER_06 6:20

Brody Shaner does do up next. Here's the pitch. Bounces in there for ball two, two balls, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 6:41

Does not does not get fooled very often, does not strike out very often.

SPEAKER_06 6:46

Bitch, that hit him. Man, that thing second time he's been hit tonight.

SPEAKER_09 6:54

As loud as that sounded, that don't that's that thing hit bone because that was loud.

SPEAKER_06 7:01

Puts runners at first and second with one out. Bring Shaner to the plate. And that wind is really whipping that flag out in center field.

SPEAKER_07 7:08

Brody, Shaner.

SPEAKER_09 7:11

I'm sure Grandma's listening back home on the radio, and your grandson, he's doing okay. He's just fine over there at first base.

SPEAKER_06 7:21

Hope Grandpa's recovering well from his heart surgery.

SPEAKER_09 7:24

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 7:26

Shout out to Andy Osborne's mom listening up outside of Faustoria, Iowa. First pitch in there for a ball. One ball, no strikes. We've just had we've had good fortune of having really good people to talk to between games this year. We've had Coach Osborne, Jeff Lafavre, we had the gas wins. Yeah. We've just we've been very fortunate. Healing's very fortunate to have those families keep things going and keep keep the program strong.

SPEAKER_09 7:58

Yeah, I think we had Pat Herbst uh still like to get Sean on here uh for the girls' soccer. Sean Mansfield. Nice swing. Hit hard back up the middle. That's gonna score.

SPEAKER_06 8:13

That will score Carroll from second. Oh man. And JJ Hope from first. Wow. Crusaders score two runs on the basis clearing double by Shaner. That will bring up Dylan Knapp. Crusaders lead early in this one, two to nothing, top of the first. One out, Shaner at second.

SPEAKER_09 8:36

Yeah, great job by Shaner keeping his weight back, taking that thing to right field, right center.

SPEAKER_07 8:41

Score on the double, bringing up number 22, Dylan Knapp.

SPEAKER_06 8:50

Dylan fouls that one off.

SPEAKER_09 8:52

Yeah, jumped on that first pitch. I like seeing that. I was talking to his dad in between games, and we were talking about that first pitch, you know, sometimes being the best one is that one there was no exception.

SPEAKER_06 9:09

Foul's that second pitch off. No balls, two strikes to Dylan.

SPEAKER_09 9:12

Yeah, he's just missing it. Just missing it. And we saw this in the first game.

SPEAKER_06 9:36

Wind up in the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 9:38

That one.

SPEAKER_04 9:39

Dylan hits that one. Could be.

SPEAKER_06 9:43

Say goodnight to it, folks. That's a two-run home run for Dylan Knapp. That brings a score four to nothing in top of the first inning for the Crusaders. Second home run home run of the night for Crusader baseball. Tommy Carroll had one in the first game.

SPEAKER_06 10:01

He got it up and he got it up, folks.

SPEAKER_09 10:04

You know. And I was just saying to his dad, I said, how important was that for Dylan in his last about the first game? I said to rip that to get his confidence back, and once he does, he smokes this one.

SPEAKER_06 10:19

Well, I think I think he's earned the right to not be called Dilly anymore. And I'm gonna call him Dylan the rest of the way.

SPEAKER_09 10:25

Yeah, you know, and that was to the to the deeper part of the field, too. That was left center.

SPEAKER_06 10:32

Yeah, the outfielders took a couple steps and that was it. Here's the pitch. Gasman steps in. That first pitch, no balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 10:41

Yeah, our girls are leading 6-4 behind us, and and they had a uh gigantic home run by uh uh the Cleary girl for Healand.

SPEAKER_06 10:50

Here's the pitch, bounces in there for ball one, one ball, one strike. Hayden Lafaver do up next. There's one out. Healan leads four to nothing here in the top of the first. Here's the pitch. And there for strike two, one ball, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 11:10

Yeah, that's a that's a tough one. That's a good that's a good high school strike, and but it that's a hard one to catch up with. It's kind of up there by your up there by the midsection.

SPEAKER_06 11:19

Here's the pitch. Pitch high in there, two balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 11:24

So were you interviewing uh Jeff? Did he did he talk about uh his son Noah breaking his nose on his birthday?

SPEAKER_06 11:31

No, he did not. We didn't we didn't get to that. He Nathan gets caught looking for strikeout number two of the inning for Lamar's pitching. That's two down.

SPEAKER_09 11:45

Yeah, I think Nathan was looking for a curve on that one and grooming that fastball right up the knees.

SPEAKER_06 11:51

Brings Aiden Lefavre to the plate. Number 18, Aiden LaFaver. Beckett Blatford would be due up next. Should young Mr. LaFavre extend the inning. Here's the pitch. Low for ball one, one ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 12:15

Yeah, I got a chance to see that umpire in between games, too. And what a nice job the first guy did. And this guy here's got hit. Looks like he's got his zone. Nice hit.

SPEAKER_06 12:25

Hits sharply down third baseman. He falls down trying to make the play, able to make the throw over. That'll retire the side for the Crusaders. They push four runs across on the strength of Dylan Knapp's two-run home run. We're through one half inning. Crusaders lead four to nothing. We'll be back in one minute.

And now back to your Crusader Sports on your Catholic radio station.

SPEAKER_06 13:54

We're back in Lamar's, bottom of the first inning. I'm Mike Skaggs, joined by Breyercliffe Hall of Famer John Tritz. Teams are batting 237 against him. He's given up 18 hits, six runs, five of those have been earned. He's walked four, hit two batters, and struck out 17. He's got a 1.84 ERA. He will face Clary, Copperude, and Peters to start off the bottom of the first for the Bulldogs. And you know, Clary, it's it it'd be nice to have him on our team. We can't say enough things about him. He did a great job pitching both times. He's faced Keelan this year, kept his team in the game, uh, just wasn't able to work it to where he could get the win. But he's a good solid player, and he's just a sophomore.

SPEAKER_09 14:47

So really it plays on the same AAU team as Dylan M, by the way. Oh, okay. So those two are are very very much uh acquainted and know of each other and and friends and play together, and and uh yeah, he's a nice looking athlete, Mike. Shortstop, yeah, it's fast um hits the ball.

SPEAKER_06 15:12

Lafaver deals. First pitch just outside for ball one, one ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 15:18

And we need the same thing from Aiden that we got from Dylan. We just need him to be solid, be competitive, and and let our defense do you know do the work.

SPEAKER_06 15:27

That pitch in there for a strike, one ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 15:30

Well, it is really for our shortstop and third baseman, they're gonna have problems here with that. Sun is right in their eyes.

SPEAKER_06 15:35

Yeah, they're both holding their gloves up in front of their faces to block the sun out. Pitch outside for ball two, two balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 15:42

It's kind of a weird time of the day with that shadow you know in between the mound and home.

SPEAKER_06 15:49

Wind up in the pitch. And that hit him. Tried to throw a curved ball that didn't didn't break. Clary down at first base on the hit by pitch. That'll bring Copperude to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 16:03

Yeah, Aiden's trying to find his zone here. Had a little little trouble finding the stretch zone there. I mean he's not missing by much. Yeah, like you said, that's a curveball just didn't break.

SPEAKER_06 16:16

Copper steps in from the left side. That first pitch in there for a strike.

SPEAKER_09 16:19

There you go.

SPEAKER_06 16:20

No balls, one strike to Copperude. Peters to follow.

SPEAKER_09 16:23

And that's how you respond right there. Come back. That first one in.

SPEAKER_06 16:31

Aiden deals. Pitch high for ball one. One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 16:42

You really got to keep your eye on Cleary over there.

SPEAKER_06 16:45

Aiden works quickly, swing and a miss. One ball, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 16:51

Yeah, we got a solid defense out here, you know, and his job, you know, uh let them put the ball to the bat and let our defense make a play.

SPEAKER_06 17:01

Here's the pitch. Just low. Two balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 17:06

Nice pitch. I don't mind that.

SPEAKER_06 17:08

Bottom of the first inning, Crusaders lead four to nothing. Dylan Knapp with the two-run home run in the top of the first to aid the scoring. Here's the pitch by Aiden. Just outside. Three balls, two strikes. Clary at first. Peters do up next.

SPEAKER_09 17:27

Yeah, he's got he's got such a really, really good slider. And uh just missed on the outside corner. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 17:36

Clary goes. That pitch ball four.

SPEAKER_10 17:38

Yeah, doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_06 17:41

So a hit by pitch and a walk. First two batters for the Bulldogs. Puts runners at first and second with no outs. Peters steps in.

SPEAKER_07 17:52

Second baseman. Great. Peters.

SPEAKER_09 17:58

Gonna force out any base here.

SPEAKER_06 18:03

Here's the pitch by Lefaver. Pitch fouled off out of play for strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 18:10

Yeah, the thing with Peters, he likes that he likes that high strike, and he'll go for it. That first pitch with Aiden had he's right there up there by the numbers, caught him on the fist.

SPEAKER_06 18:24

LeFaver deals. Nice. Swing and a miss. Fooled him on that one. No balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 18:30

That's that change up curve slider he does, and he throw it to the right to the outside corner, Major Chase.

SPEAKER_06 18:36

Yeah, he does have a really good breaking ball.

SPEAKER_09 18:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:44

Looks in, winds up, here's the pitch. Fouled weakly down the third baseline. Lamar's coach makes a good one-handed stab. Showing everybody the proper technique on how to do it. Peter steps back in. Favor checks the runner at second. Comes to the plate. That ball hit out to right field. And they know about Nathan Gaswin's arm. They don't try to now score from second base. That'll load the bases. Bases full of bulldogs. McGinnis steps in. And this is a young man who can tie this game up with one swing of the bat.

SPEAKER_09 19:28

Absolutely. We saw his power in the first game. You know, then this is a big test for the young man for Aiden. He's in a jam. He's got bases loaded, no outs. You know, we don't need that lead runner. I mean, just let our defense do the work. We've got to force out any base here.

SPEAKER_06 19:49

Wind up in the pitch. Outside for ball one, one ball, no strikes. Reaganetter would be due up next.

SPEAKER_09 20:06

Yeah, we've got third baseman's coming in. I think we're going home here.

SPEAKER_06 20:09

Here's the pitch. Anything just missed for ball two. Two balls, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 20:13

Anything on uh first and third. I think we're coming home first.

SPEAKER_06 20:17

Let's see an old-fashioned triple play on this one. That'd be good.

SPEAKER_09 20:23

Cut himself in a little behind here.

SPEAKER_06 20:27

Favor deals to the plate. That ball hit.

SPEAKER_09 20:31

Oh, he didn't see it.

SPEAKER_06 20:32

Out to Dylan and center. He wasn't. He didn't see it.

SPEAKER_09 20:36

Oh. No.

SPEAKER_06 20:40

That'll score Clary.

SPEAKER_09 20:43

He makes that catch 10 out of 10. He didn't see it.

SPEAKER_06 20:48

McKinnis with the RBI single. Crusaders lead 4-1. There's still no outs here in the bottom of the first. That'll bring Reaganator to the plate.

SPEAKER_07 20:57

First baseman number six, Ben Reaganator.

SPEAKER_09 21:02

Boy, we need an out here.

SPEAKER_06 21:09

Here's the pitch. Foul back. Yeah. Strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 21:15

That was a good pitch.

SPEAKER_06 21:16

Tolson is due up next.

SPEAKER_09 21:18

Came inside on him up there by the up there by the fist.

SPEAKER_06 21:30

Wind up by LeFavre and the pitch. In there for strike two. No balls, two strikes. Bases loaded with bulldogs. No outs. Healing leads four to one, bottom of the first inning.

SPEAKER_09 21:45

Yeah, this is this is a huge bat.

SPEAKER_06 21:48

Lafavre steps off.

SPEAKER_09 21:50

I mean, we we really need to get him and then force force ourselves in a situation, get one out the bases loaded, then we can go up the middle.

SPEAKER_06 22:00

Favor with the wind up and the pitch. Good morning, good afternoon, and good night. Strikeout number one for Caleb Aiden LeFaver. Out number one. Base is still loaded. Tolson steps in.

SPEAKER_09 22:12

Yeah, caught the black on the outside corner, Mike. Beautiful job, framing by Peyton on the outside corner and getting that call. That was huge out. Huge.

SPEAKER_06 22:23

Now you get back to double play depth. Yeah. Get that double play and get out of this inning, only giving up one run.

SPEAKER_09 22:28

It's like we're still coming home on the corners. Shortstop second base are at regular depth.

SPEAKER_06 22:35

Here's the pitch. Just misses for ball one. One ball, no strikes. I was playing third base. I'd I'd play up there too, so I didn't have to stand and look into that sun.

SPEAKER_09 22:45

Man, that is that is absolutely wicked. These guys.

SPEAKER_06 22:52

Here's the pitch by Aiden. Nice. Fouled off. One ball, one strike. Jennery do up next.

SPEAKER_09 22:59

I mean, they got sunglasses on and they're still got their hands over their eyes.

SPEAKER_06 23:07

Yeah, right field's the only place that doesn't have to worry about it.

SPEAKER_09 23:11

No.

SPEAKER_06 23:14

Here's the pitch. Dylan found a strip of shade out in the outfield in center field, so he's able to get out of it. Two balls, one strike, one out. Base is full of bulldogs.

SPEAKER_09 23:28

Yeah, you can't lose him here. Gotta come back at him.

SPEAKER_06 23:33

Here's the pitch. In there for strike two. Two balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 23:38

Good job on that outside corner. Great job painting the corner. Here we go. He's gonna come in the inside. Lined up by Aiden.

SPEAKER_06 23:52

Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 23:54

Hey, who was looking?

SPEAKER_06 23:56

Fouled off. Count stays. Two balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 23:58

He was looking for a curveball there. And that was just a uh stick my bat out uh to uh not get the call third strike.

SPEAKER_06 24:06

Yeah, that that's a hope I can make some type of contact swing there.

SPEAKER_09 24:09

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 24:18

Wind up and the pitch. Popped up. Aiden Lefaver comes in, makes the play.

SPEAKER_09 24:25

That's good job. Out number two. Good job by Peyton. Uh that's normally his ball, but with this win, he immediately took his off and says to the young man to Aiden, that's yours, take it.

SPEAKER_06 24:39

Jennery steps in with two outs, bases loaded. Crusaders lead four to one in the bottom of the first.

SPEAKER_07 24:47

Yeah, Aiden's starting to get in his zone. Finding those corners.

SPEAKER_06 25:14

Deals. That's it. Out to short left field. One run will score. Two runs will score. That makes a score four to three here in the bottom of the first inning. Lamar still has runners at first and second with two outs.

SPEAKER_09 25:34

That's the second time Dylan. Dylan had no clue where that ball was. He's losing that thing off the off the barrel. And that sun is it's just got to be the sun. I mean, he just it's going right up right up into it.

SPEAKER_07 25:48

Now batting for the Bulldogs. Number 12, Revan Dale.

SPEAKER_09 25:53

I don't think he would have had a shot at that, but but still.

SPEAKER_06 25:56

Here's the pitch. In there for strike one. No balls, one strike. Lamar's has pushed three runs across after Healing pushed four across in their half of the inning. It's four to three, bottom of the first. Pitch fouled off strike two. No balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 26:19

Yeah, and this is where Aiden, I mean, this is where you learn. I mean, you gotta compete here, get out of this inning, and and keep the damage minimized, and uh just come back and and uh see if our offense can get going and then come back and and compete hard the next inning.

SPEAKER_06 26:36

Here's the pitch. There we go. Fouled off again. Just missed a semi heading down the street.

SPEAKER_09 26:44

I tried to do that inside curve ball here. Bring that thing on the inside corner. He's he's right up on the plate.

SPEAKER_06 26:55

Hayden takes a long look in, he comes set, checks the runner at second. Deals to the plate, bounces in there for a ball, one ball, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 27:04

Yeah, he he tried sneaking that curve ball in and just got it in the dirt a little bit.

We are back heading to the top of the second inning. Healing will send Beckett Blatchford Chase Beck and Tommy Carroll to the plate. So I mean what's he gonna say?

SPEAKER_09 29:14

Well, if he gets it up today, there's no way he can tell us it wasn't wind-aided and if he actually clovers it.

SPEAKER_06 29:21

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_09 29:24

Let's hope we can do that tonight.

SPEAKER_06 29:26

Here's the pitch. High and outside. One ball, one strike. Here's the pitch. In there, strike two. One ball, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 29:48

Yeah, you gotta be gotta be really, you can't be real selective here on the third one here. Gotta protect the plate.

SPEAKER_06 29:57

And the pitch. Nice. Ropes that over the first baseman's head. That's gonna be a double. He is gonna go for two. And he is gonna get in there. There we go. A double to lead off the inning by Beckett Blatchford. Backs up the home run last night with the double in the varsity game.

SPEAKER_09 30:16

He reached out. That ball was on the outside of the plate, Mike. And far outside.

SPEAKER_06 30:22

He was you said don't be selective, and he was just trying to make contact, and he did. He put it down that that first baseline.

SPEAKER_09 30:28

How he got that ball down the first baseline where that pitch was is incredible.

SPEAKER_07 30:33

Second baseman, number 13.

SPEAKER_06 30:34

And I think the Richter scale was going off a little bit as he was rounding first, headed to second. Beck steps in.

SPEAKER_09 30:41

Yeah, that's definitely a rumbling double there. That's awesome. Good job, Mr. Young Man.

SPEAKER_06 30:47

Here's the pitch. That pitch high. One ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 30:55

Yeah, Chase. Chase had some nice contact in that first game. Had nice rope in between left, left, and right and center.

SPEAKER_06 31:04

That pitch inside for ball two. Two balls, no strikes. Blatchford at second with the leadoff double.

SPEAKER_09 31:10

I'm about to put my long sleeve shirt on here. Start to get a little chilly with the sun going down.

SPEAKER_06 31:15

Yeah, that's that's why I brought one. I knew with that sun going down, it was gonna potentially get cold. Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_10 31:21

There we go. That's gotta score him.

SPEAKER_06 31:25

That's gonna score Blatchford from second. And Beck is headed for third. He's in there with the triple. RBI triple for Beck. That brings a score of five to three Crusaders. So there's no outs here in the top of the second.

SPEAKER_09 31:42

Absolutely great running by Beck. I mean, they were uh they did not get a good relay in, and he saw that and he took off.

SPEAKER_06 31:55

Makes a score of five to three Crusaders here in the top of the second. There are no outs. Beck at third base with the RBI triple, and that brings Carroll to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 32:09

We got something going on here.

SPEAKER_06 32:11

Coach talking to the umpire, and I don't know what uh I think they're probably asking about possible runner in or first baseman interference over on as he tried to round first.

SPEAKER_09 32:22

Yeah, I think I think you're right. Well, let's see if whoa he's out. Who's he calling out?

SPEAKER_07 32:30

He now batting left fielder, number eight. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 32:36

I'm missing Beck is we don't know what he what the reason is, but Beck is out, so there is one out in the inning. That brings Tommy Carroll to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 32:45

Well, either either they're calling interference or they're saying he missed the base. We'll get a we'll get a see if we can get some kind of uh clarity on that.

SPEAKER_06 32:58

Here's the pitch in there for a strike. One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 33:03

I'm looking to see if okay.

SPEAKER_05 33:12

Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 33:14

There it's that could be lined out into the gap.

SPEAKER_06 33:16

That could be up against the fence. That is the second double of the game for Tommy Carroll. He is on second with one out, and that will bring Peyton Erickson to the plate, hit by pitch this last time up.

SPEAKER_09 33:32

Well, maybe he needs to break his bat more often, Mike. Maybe so.

SPEAKER_06 33:35

He should have been using the this other bat all along.

SPEAKER_09 33:38

I don't know. The home run was a shot, so Tommy Carroll was a big thing.

SPEAKER_06 33:44

Is that like uh the natural wonder boy? He broke his bat now.

SPEAKER_09 33:48

Yeah. Yeah, something like that. That's okay.

SPEAKER_05 33:57

Here's the pitch to Peyton.

SPEAKER_09 33:58

Oh, Peyton wanted that. Get once you don't know here.

SPEAKER_06 34:03

Clary makes the catch out at shortstop for out number two. That will bring JJ Hope to the plate. He was hit by pitch his first time. Erickson struck out. So that'll bring Hope to the plate.

SPEAKER_07 34:20

Shortstop, number five, JJ Hope.

SPEAKER_06 34:30

I have to thank Leah Knapps. She brought John and I a hot dog between games and brought me a lemonade.

SPEAKER_09 34:36

Oh, was that Leah? I was wondering who brought those hot dogs over. That was Leah.

SPEAKER_06 34:41

You're hot dog after.

SPEAKER_09 34:42

Well, did you eat my second?

SPEAKER_06 34:45

No, I I took it over and gave it to Jeff.

SPEAKER_09 34:48

I still got one more bob dog in here, Mike.

SPEAKER_06 34:50

Jeff looked like he was gonna gnaw his arm off over there. He didn't get dinner, so here's the pitch. Fouled off by JJ. One ball, one strike. Leah went and got blankets for everybody except you and I, John. She brought sweatshirts, blankets.

SPEAKER_09 35:08

Well, I got a coat and long pants, but you know, of course, they're in my vehicle. Why would you bring them over?

SPEAKER_06 35:17

Here's the pitch. Nice. JJ hits that outside shortstop. Clary's gonna, he's gonna feel that. Still a close play at first base, but JJ is out. So the Crusaders push another run across in the top of the second. We'll go to the bottom of the second. They'd lead this one five to three. We'll be back in one minute.

SPEAKER_00 35:35

In the top of the second, he was Paul's life advocates is honored to announce the actor Jim Cavizel will be the keynote speaker at our November 21st Christmas Gala at the Iowa Events Center.

SPEAKER_19 36:46

And now back to your Crusader Sports on your Catholic radio station.

SPEAKER_06 36:53

Welcome back, everybody. We are in Lamar's game number two. The Crusaders won game one, eight to three. They lead this one five to three. We're going to the bottom of the second. Lamar's will send Pick, Clary, and Kaparoo to the plate to face Aiden Lafavre.

SPEAKER_09 37:10

Oh wait, we need uh, I mean, Aiden needs to go out here, Mike, and he needs to just pretend like we got a 0-0 ball game, start crash. He didn't throw bad in the first inning. They had a couple that got out into center field.

SPEAKER_07 37:25

Number seven, Cooper.

SPEAKER_09 37:26

The one for sure Dylan just he just didn't see, and it just bounced in front of him. I don't think he would have got to the second one, but first pitch to pick, fouled off.

SPEAKER_06 37:36

No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 37:37

But I think that I think that sun's finally going down here, and it's out of these guys as maybe the third baseman's about the only one that's that still has it a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 37:46

The favor deals to the plate. That hit out. Gaswin rumbles over, gets under it, makes the catch.

SPEAKER_09 37:54

Absolute great jump by Gaswin.

SPEAKER_06 37:58

Flyout to the right fielder by pick for out number one. That'll bring Clary to the plate. In the softball game behind us, the Crusaders lead 7-5 in the bottom of the sixth inning.

SPEAKER_09 38:09

Yeah, that's been a good game over there.

SPEAKER_07 38:12

Shortstop, number two, Gavin, Clary.

SPEAKER_06 38:15

I just I can't say enough good things about this Clary kid, not because he's my wife's relative, but this kid can play ball.

SPEAKER_08 38:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:23

Oh, he got fooled on that one. Swing and a miss for strike one. You know, I think that's the that's the first bad thing we've seen him do.

SPEAKER_09 38:32

Well, he's looking for a fastball there and got fooled on the curve. And you know, I he came up with the idea that at uh his first at bat uh Aiden threw him a fastball for a strike.

SPEAKER_06 38:46

That fouled off down the first baseline.

SPEAKER_09 38:48

But you're right, Mike. He he's uh he's solid.

SPEAKER_06 38:53

That landed right about where Ethan Erickson tried to run through the fence last year to catch a foul ball.

SPEAKER_08 38:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 39:00

I was wondering if they'd get it replaced by the time we got back up here. Kathy LaFaver up against the net, getting some pictures here of Aiden pitching. Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. Good morning, good afternoon, and good night. Strikeout out number two. That will bring Kaparoo to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 39:21

So that's a great job by Peyton. That ball in the dirt looked like it was in the dirt, but he actually got his glove under it. And what you do is you get that ball up and you show the umpire so he doesn't have to make that throw first.

SPEAKER_06 39:35

First pitch bounces in there for ball one, one ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 39:39

Yeah, sometimes you can really sell that, even if it hits the dirt. You can sell that that you caught it.

SPEAKER_06 39:46

Seven to six behind us in the softball game now. That ball's popped up. JJ Hope heading out to try to make the play. Boy. And he goes way out there. That is out number three. No runs for the Bulldogs in the bottom of the second. In the bottom of the second. We will head to the top of the third. Crusaders lead five to three. We will be back in one minute.

SPEAKER_09 41:37

That's gonna come down to the wire over there.

SPEAKER_06 41:41

I think every baseball and softball game should be like this.

SPEAKER_09 41:45

That's kind of crazy how close these fields are together.

SPEAKER_06 41:51

Schayner steps in. Healan will meet Harlan at Bishop Mueller Field at 4 o'clock. Pre-game 345. Swing and a miss by Brody on that one. One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 42:15

Yeah, a little over anxious on that swing. Kind of knew what he was was gonna get and just ahead of him.

SPEAKER_06 42:29

Breaking the action so Coach Sitzman can get over to the first base coaching box. Here's the pitch. In there for strike two. One ball, two strikes. Dylan nap due up.

SPEAKER_09 42:48

Anything close here, you gotta be going.

SPEAKER_06 42:50

Here's the pitch. Just missed. Ball two. Two balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 42:55

Oh, he wanted that one. Catcher turned around and says, uh, Mr. Umpire, sir. Did I? Where was that, please?

SPEAKER_06 43:05

Holmes for the poor, sir. Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. Struck him out. Shaner goes down on strikes. One out. Brings Dylan Knapp. Homer did his first time up.

SPEAKER_09 43:23

Yeah, he got all of that.

SPEAKER_07 43:27

Center fielder, number 22, Dylan Knapp.

SPEAKER_09 43:31

Yeah, that first at bat. Yeah, I mean, he he really stroked that.

SPEAKER_05 43:35

Here's the first pitch to Dylan.

SPEAKER_09 43:37

For it again. He got to get on first base. That's coming back in. Oh.

SPEAKER_06 43:42

Pops out to the first baseman. For out number two. That will bring Nathan Gaslin to the plate. He struck out looking his first time up.

SPEAKER_07 43:54

Right fielder. Number 25, Nathan Gaslin.

SPEAKER_06 44:01

We're gonna get to the bottom of the seventh in the softball game. We're gonna dual call here, John. Yeah. Here's the pitch. First pitch to Nathan in there for a strike. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 44:12

Yeah, that was a nice pitch. Inside corner.

SPEAKER_06 44:18

Here's a pitch.

SPEAKER_09 44:19

Boy, he just missed that one.

SPEAKER_06 44:21

That ball hit out to Clary. It's short.

SPEAKER_09 44:24

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 44:25

He makes the play for out number three. That will retire the Crusaders in the third. We go to the bottom of the third. Crusaders lead five to three. We'll be back in one minute.

SPEAKER_19 45:42

And now back to your Crusader Sports on your Catholic radio station.

SPEAKER_06 45:50

All right, we're back in Lamar's. We're going to try and experiment here, folks. In the softball game, Crusaders lead seven to six. They have runners on first and second in the top of the seventh with two outs. In the baseball game, Lamars will send Peters McInnes and Reaganitter to the plate here in the bottom of the third. Crusaders lead five to three. I think he only threw about seven or eight pitches.

SPEAKER_09 46:21

Which he needed to because he he threw about 37, I think, in the first inning. So that was a good inning to keep that pitch count down.

SPEAKER_06 46:29

First pitch by Lefaver. Bounces in there for a ball. One ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 46:34

Yeah, what we could do, Mike, is you could call the balls and strikes here. I could call them over there. And we could we could have a little fun here.

SPEAKER_06 46:43

We'll really confuse the people at home. Here's the pitch. Outside for ball two, two balls, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 46:51

Now he's got to come back, find the zone here, Aiden. Take a deep breath.

SPEAKER_06 46:56

Crusader softball team looking to add to their lead. They lead seven to six in the top of the seventh. Here's the pitch. Just misses. Ball three. Three balls, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 47:07

Yeah, Prett come back with that curveball, which has been kind of his go-to pitch when he needs a strike.

SPEAKER_06 47:14

Aiden with the wind up in the pitch. High for ball four. Peters walks to lead the inning off. That will bring McKinnonis to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 47:23

Good job by Peyton. Peyton needs to go out and talk to him, calm him down. And you know, and just say, you know what? No harm, no foul. Let's go after this guy. We got we got a force out at second. Let's let our defense do the job. Now batting.

SPEAKER_07 47:42

Catcher, number five, Brett. McGinnis.

SPEAKER_09 47:44

Yeah, it's a good hitter, too. You got a good hitter at the plate.

SPEAKER_06 47:55

Favor from the stretch, takes a long look in. He comes set, deals to the plate. That ball. Bounce Moravic at first. Throw to second to for the force out. McGuinness on with the fielder's choice. That will bring up Reaganetter. One out here in the inning.

SPEAKER_09 48:14

Yeah, great job by JJ to corral that ball. Ball into dirt. Good play by Moravik over there at first. Nice hard hit over there by McGuinness. First baseman.

SPEAKER_06 48:28

Healing softball, unable to push any runs across. They'll go to the bottom of the seventh inning with a seven-to-six lead. LaFaver deals. Okay. It's only fair. We've had two softballs over here tonight, so it's only fair that they get a baseball over there.

SPEAKER_09 48:47

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 48:48

No balls, one strike to count to Reaganitter. He will be followed by Tolson. Throw over to first.

SPEAKER_09 48:55

Yeah, I like that.

SPEAKER_06 48:57

McKinnis back in time.

SPEAKER_09 49:00

Yeah, you know, Aid's got that long delivery to home plate, so every now and then you got to keep those guys honest over it first so they don't get a huge jump on you. Nice.

SPEAKER_06 49:13

Pitch fouled off. No balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 49:15

Well, that's one thing he has really worked on since the first time I saw him, Mike, is his delivery and release from the uh stretch to home plate. Yeah, he's really quick in that up.

SPEAKER_06 49:32

Here's the pitch. Runner goes. Fouled off. McKinnis will head back to first. Count remains. No balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 49:43

Yeah, they had a hit and run on there. You know, and I and I like that move by Coach Cander, you know. A good opportunity. You got a you got a left-handed hitter here, which kind of kind of blocks the vision of your catcher. You know, he can't always see the guy jump when you got a left-handed hitter up.

SPEAKER_06 50:05

Here's the pitch by Aiden. Runner goes. Throw to second. Oh. Throw was high. McGuinness was able to slide in under the tag.

SPEAKER_09 50:15

Yeah, great job getting rid of the ball by Peyton. Just a little high. Uh JJ had to jump up in the air. Try to bring that tag down.

SPEAKER_06 50:24

One ball, two strikes. Tolson do up next. Here's the pitch pile of favor.

SPEAKER_09 50:35

Yeah. Got him.

SPEAKER_06 50:37

Swing and a miss. Strike three. That's out number two. That will bring Tolson to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 50:45

Yeah, it's a good waist pitch.

SPEAKER_06 50:49

In the softball game, Lamars leads off the bottom of the seventh with a double. They've got a runner on second base with no outs. Crusaders lead that one seven to six. Baseball game. Healing leads five to three. We're in the bottom of the third. Here's the pitch. Nice curve. In there for strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 51:13

Yeah, that that's that curveball slider on the inside corner, Mike. That uh he he throws it so well and he can place it. That's a tough pitch to hit.

SPEAKER_05 51:29

Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_06 51:31

The ball hit out to JJ Hope. It's short. Makes the play. Over to first. Out number three. That will retire the side. No runs for the Bulldogs. In the bottom of the third. We'll keep it here so we can keep up with the softball game over here. It is seven to six. Lady Crusaders. One out for Lamar's. They've got a runner at second base.

SPEAKER_07 51:52

Crusaders in the top of the fourth will be Lefer. Blastford and pitch count for Le Favor.

SPEAKER_06 51:58

Here's that. I can't give as good a play by play on the softball because I don't know any of the girls. But you can do some sponsors as we're going along here, John.

SPEAKER_09 52:09

Yeah, I'm going to throw some sponsors in here to get caught up here, Mike. Neil Pfeiffer, KOC insurance agent, McGrib inspection, People's Bank of Sioux City, Prime Bank, Queen of Peace, Trinity Heights, Rooley Family Chiropractic, Shram Electric, Security National Bank, Service Master of Sioux Land, Sioux Body Shop, Sioux City Musketeers, Sioux City Sprinkler, Sioux City Symphony and Orchestra, Sneaky's Chicken, Soho, Kitchen and Bar, St. Augustine Indian Mission, and Staber Meets, and Sunnybrook Dental. Thank you for sponsoring Bishop Healan Baseball and Catholic Radio.

SPEAKER_06 53:03

One ball, two strikes to the batter in the softball game, one out runner at second. Healan leads. That ball hit sharply back up the middle. They're gonna send her from second to throw home. Oh, she decides against it and goes back. Lamars now has runners at second and third in the softball game. Healan leads seven to six. There's one out in the bottom of the seven. Aiden LeFavre. Now back to baseball. Aiden LeFavre leads off for Healan here in the top of the fourth. Crusaders lead five to three. Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 53:35

Nice pitch.

SPEAKER_06 53:36

In there for strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 53:38

That was a nice pitch by the Lamars kid here. Right at the uh right at the knees. Tough pitch for Aiden to catch up to.

SPEAKER_06 53:46

Blatchford to follow and then Beck.

SPEAKER_09 53:48

He roped that one.

SPEAKER_06 53:49

That ball hit over the third baseman's head out into left field. LeFavre singles. That'll bring Blatchford to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 53:58

Good job by Aiden. He really turned. He turned. That's the best I've seen him turn on the ball this year, Mike. And he roped that thing down the left field line.

SPEAKER_06 54:06

He did a nice job. Calgeese going into pinch run for LeFavor.

SPEAKER_09 54:15

Yeah, Beckett uh got Beckett up. He roped that ball down the right field line. He was last at bat.

SPEAKER_06 54:27

Guinness takes a long look in. Checks runner at first. Here's the pitch. Fouled off by Blatchford. Strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 54:34

Yeah, I think he was he was going for that uh that home run to make it a JV varsity uh duo. On the old home home run threat. Yeah that's uh we go.

SPEAKER_06 54:58

Bounces that out to the second baseman.

SPEAKER_04 55:01

Oh whoa, Blatchford got down the line on that one, was just out. Boy, not by much.

SPEAKER_06 55:12

For out number one, that brings Beck to the plate. He'll be followed by Carroll. It is seven to six in the softball game. Two balls, two strikes, one out. Runners at second and third for Lamar's.

SPEAKER_07 55:25

Second baseman, number 13, Chase Beck.

SPEAKER_09 55:30

Yeah, Chase has been really swinging the bat well here in this doubleheader. Like to see him continue it here, get this run in.

SPEAKER_05 55:38

There's a pitch.

SPEAKER_09 55:39

There, another one.

SPEAKER_06 55:41

Hartball hit out to the gap between center and left. Geezy scores for second.

SPEAKER_09 55:46

The outfielder. He's going for three.

SPEAKER_06 55:49

And he's going for three. Let's hope he touched all the bases this time. So I guess he's got a triple and a single.

SPEAKER_09 55:59

I mean, he is stroking the ball, Mike. That's almost identical to what he did the first time up.

SPEAKER_06 56:06

That pushes Geeesey across, makes the score six to three. And that will bring Tommy Carroll to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 56:18

And we know, and Tommy's just smoked the ball his first two at bats. Left fielder number eight.

SPEAKER_07 56:24

Tommy Carroll.

SPEAKER_06 56:28

High drama in the softball game. Seven to six, two outs. Lamars has runners at second and third. Here's the pitch over here. Ball one to Tommy Carroll. No balls, two strikes in the softball game. Two outs.

SPEAKER_09 56:44

Yeah. I mean, Tommy is just really seeing the ball tonight.

SPEAKER_06 56:48

Here's the pitch. That pitch to Carroll is high. Two balls, no strikes. And Tim, if you're listening, we won't charge you for doing double duty tonight.

SPEAKER_09 56:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 56:59

I mean, if you have the Here's the pitch. Swinging a miss. Healing softball sweeps Lamar's Bulldogs. They win game two, seven to six. Now we'll focus on baseball. Three balls, no strikes to Tommy Carroll.

SPEAKER_09 57:12

Three and oh to Tommy. I mean, it's hard to describe this setup here, but anybody that's been out to Riverside Park and seen how those baseball, the softball fields are set up over there. This is kind of how the baseball softball setup is here. You know, they got a baseball field and then the softball field just butts up right against it. So you got two games going on literally 30 feet apart.

SPEAKER_06 57:39

Carroll walks, that will bring Peyton Erickson to the plate. Runners at first and third. One out.

SPEAKER_09 57:45

Peyton's just missed his couple pop-ups in the infield. He's just underneath it. You'd like to see him straighten this out.

SPEAKER_06 57:54

I mean's pushed to run across here in the top of the fourth. They lead six to three.

SPEAKER_09 58:01

Yeah, he just needs to keep his weight back.

SPEAKER_06 58:04

Here's the pitch. Pitch to Peyton high for ball one. One ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 58:09

Yeah, keep his weight back here a little bit. Drive that ball right up the middle, right through the pitcher's head. That's kind of what you're what you're taught to do.

SPEAKER_06 58:19

Here's the pitch. That pitch. High and inside ball two. Two balls, no strikes. JJ Hope, do up next.

SPEAKER_09 58:29

Yeah, we'd be nice. We need to get one of these guys in. Situation baseball here. We got first and third. You got this pitcher thinking, are we gonna double steal?

SPEAKER_06 58:39

Here's the pitch. Low, ball three, three balls, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 58:44

I would venture to say that uh he's got the he does not have the green light on this one with three and all. And if he does, it better be something pretty good.

SPEAKER_06 58:54

Here's the pitch. Yeah. That pitch in there for a strike. That was first strike after seven consecutive balls. Counts three to one to Peyton.

SPEAKER_09 59:04

Yeah, I mean I'd like to see a double steal here.

SPEAKER_06 59:08

Wind up in the pitch. Low, ball four. Peyton didn't want to walk, he wanted to get a base hit.

SPEAKER_09 59:16

This isn't the guy you really want to see at the plate when you got the base loaded. Uh JJ's such a contact hitter. He's gonna put the ball in play. Um very rarely does he strike out. We've talked about that. He sees the ball really well, he makes the pitcher work extra hard to get him out.

SPEAKER_06 59:36

Jonas Jensen heading out to courtesy run for Peyton Erickson. JJ Hope will step in. Crusaders lead this one 6-3, top of the fourth. Brody Schader would follow Hope at the plate. JJ Hope.

SPEAKER_09 59:52

You just want to stay out of the double play, and with his speed, you know, anything in the infield, you know, should should bring somebody in.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:00

Here's the first pitch. In there for strike one. No ball is one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:04

Nice pitch on the inside corner.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:15

Kenneth checks the runner at third. Delivers.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:18

That's that should bring him in.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:20

That ball hit out to right field. Right fielder settles under it. Beck tags. Comes in from third. There we go. He scores the run. That makes a score seven to three Crusaders. Carroll advances to third. And Erickson.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:37

Great job by JJ. You did your job. I mean, sacrifice flyball. You know, baseball is such a funny sport. Everybody, you know, you think about average, you know, what did I hit today? It's these little things like that. You know, JJ, get up there, either hit a fly ball in the outfield or put something, you know, on the ground, use your speed to get to first base. Either way, we score a run. And that's his job, and he did it just perfectly.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:03

Yeah, it looks like we're gonna have a pitching change here for the Bulldogs. Brody Shaner, do up next. Let's go ahead and take a one-minute break. We'll be back.

As we get back to game action here, Brody Schainer will step in to face Tolson. Jonas Jensen at first. Tommy Carroll at third, two outs. Crusaders lead.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:55

You're right. I thought it they had they did have one there and they just changed it.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:05

Now pitching for the Wullhogs. Number 10, Isaiah Tolzin. At the plate. Number 11, Brody Shaner.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:10

I mean, Lamar's kind of like this move. You want to keep the score close. We were obviously uh making great contact, you know, on the last pitcher, and and and he's got a nice nice curveball. He's trying to basically put out the fire here and try to keep his team you know within within distance of the Crusaders here.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:38

First pitch to Brody with strike one. No balls one strike. Dylan Knapp do up next. Jonas got a little too far down to second base. I think they were gonna try to sneak that run across.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:53

Yeah, they they what they're I think they were gonna try doing a delay steal, double steal with, but Jonas should have probably done there as soon as he knew he was caught, run back to first base and got got himself in the middle.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:04

The pick, of course, two runs on two hits.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:06

That'll end the inning for the Crusaders. We'll go to the bottom of the fort. Crusaders lead 7-3. We'll be back in one minute.

And now back to your Crusader Sports on your Catholic radio station.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:24

We are back in Lamar's bottom of the fourth inning. Crusaders lead this one 7-3. The Bulldogs will send Jennery Dale and Pick to the plate field. To face Hayden Lefaver. Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:52

Yeah, a lot better job by Aiden with command of his pitches here in the last two innings. He's kind of really settled in after that first inning.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:01

He's got three strikeouts on the evening. Here's the pitch. Bounces in there for a ball. One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:10

Yeah, not a bad pitch. You know, you got to know in one count. You're trying to get him to reach for something down low.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:21

Here's the pitch by Aiden.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:24

That ball is hit long and foul. That's just that's just a uh that's just all that is, Mike, is a is a long strike.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:39

We'll take those.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:40

Yeah. I mean, I think that thing cleared the fence, to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:43

I think that's the pitch. Oh. Oh, just missed. Two balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:51

Gorgeous pitch. That's almost an unhittable pitch. That's that slider on the outside corner. And that thing dipped.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:58

Here's the pitch by Aiden.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:01

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:02

Just inside for ball three. Three balls, two strikes. Dale do up next.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:09

Both those pitches. I don't know how you lay off them.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:13

Here's the pitch by Lefaver. That ball. Whoa! Chase back with the hops out there. Jumps up and snags that line drive. Out number one.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:25

You know, Mike, we've talked about Chase. Uh we've moved him over here to third base, which is nice, but he is such a sweet second baseman. I mean, he is really that's by far his most natural position over there.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:40

That's a vertical only you and I can dream of, John. There's another one lined over second base. Dylan Knapp fields it out in center field. Dale singles. Runner at first, one out. Bottom of the fourth inning. Crusaders lead seven to three. Pick steps in. He'll be followed by Clary.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:00

Yeah, not a bad pitch by Aiden. Just kind of left it hanging a little bit. And uh, you know, he'll fix that. Keep that thing a little lower. Good good piece of hitting.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:14

First pitch. High ball one. One ball, no strikes. Just missed.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:20

Not a bad pitch. I mean, normally that's a tough one to you know to lay off of.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:28

Delivery by Lafavre. That ball hit out to JJ in short. Steps on second. Throws to first. There's the double play. Pitcher's best friend.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:37

There you go. Beautiful play by JJ. And rightfully so, Aiden went right over there and said, Thank you, young man. Got me out of this. This is the bottom of the fourth.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:47

That is out number three. Three up, three down for the Bulldogs. We'll head to the fifth.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:51

We'll be back in one minute before the Crusaders in the top of the fifth.

SPEAKER_19 1:10:57

And now back to your Crusader Sports on your Catholic Radio Station.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:05

We're back in Lamar's. We're headed to the top of the fifth inning. Crusaders lead this one 7-3. They will send Chiner, Knapp, and Gaswent to the plate. Chainer was at bat in the at the end of the last inning whenever Jonas was caught trying to steal second base.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:21

So he'll lead off this inning.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:27

First pitch. High for ball one. One ball, no strikes. Tolson with the wind up in the delivery. Say goodnight to it, folks. That one's gone.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:43

Holy camole.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:44

That was a no-doubter there. Home run for Brody Shaner.

SPEAKER_09 1:11:49

Absolutely tagged that.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:51

That's the third home run of the night for the Crusaders. Two in this game, one in the first. Dylan Homered earlier in this game.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:07

Yeah, he saw that pitch all the way, and that was a no-doubter, Mike.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:11

That's what I that's what we've been waiting to see all night from him is to get a hold of one.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:15

Well, we said it early. If he gets the ball up in the ozone layer, things gonna go, and that thing that thing was out. So it's like a 90 mile an hour out of the ballpark.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:28

Surveys show that about 30% of the people believe in UFOs. I think that number went up just a little bit on that one because that was out there.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:37

I've been waiting a long time to use that one.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:39

I'm trying to grasp that just a little bit, Mike.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:43

I'm reaching here, I know.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:45

Number 22, Dylan now.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:47

Oh man.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:49

Dylan steps in, having a good night at the plate. Good night on the mound in that first game. First pitch, ball one. Here's pitch. Another rip. Dylan ropes that over the shortstop's head. He is gonna hold it first base after a wide turn.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:13

You take away this first three at bats in that first game, you know, where he he just didn't look himself, and then he boom his last at bat. He strokes it. And his first three at bats here have been boom, boom, boom. I mean, he's just you can tell he's right back in his zone.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:30

Gaswent steps in. Struck out looking the first time. Popped out to the shortstop. His second time up. Dillon goes on the first pitch. He is in there. Ball gets past the second baseman. Shortstop backs him up. Dillon with the stolen base. First pitch to Nate was a ball. One ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:50

That was a good throw by the catcher. Second baseman brings that ball, that glove down before he had the ball.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:57

Yeah, if he catches that, I think he's got it.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:59

I think he might have had him on that one. And again, Dillon had a great jump.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:06

Here's the pitch. Low ball two. Two balls, no strikes. Aiden Lefaver do up next. Tolson takes a long look in, checks the runner at second. Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 1:14:29

Boy, he got a hold of that one. That's a deep. That's deep. They can't catch up to it.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:35

That ball bounces against the fence. Stand-up double for Gaswin. Dylan Knapp will score. That makes the score nine to three.

SPEAKER_09 1:14:46

Now what's more impressive with that one is that as Gaswin hit that thing to right center. Uh in between center field and right fielder. And that was a one bouncer to the fence. I mean, he hits that thing 20 feet to the left. That thing's out of here because that air catches up with that thing. Aiden Lefaver.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:06

No outs here in the top of the fifth. Crusaders lead 9-3. Aiden LeFavre steps in. He'll be followed by Beckett Blatchford.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:14

Yeah, I mean, we've we have really tagged him this inning.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:21

Here's the pitch by Tolson. In there for strike one to Aiden. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:27

He really turned on as his last at bat. Drove that thing down the left field line.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:41

Here's the pitch by Tolson. In there for strike two. No balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:45

You know, Tolson throws about 70% curveballs. Obviously it's his go-to pitch. I mean, he leaves that thing just a little high.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:03

Checking the runner at second. Here's the pitch. That pitch is high for ball one. One ball, two strikes. Beckett Blatford anxiously awaiting his turn at the plate after a home run last night in the JV game and roping a double down the first baseline in this game. Check of Nathan at second. Here's the pitch. Inside. Two balls, two strikes. No outs here in the top of the fifth inning. Crusaders lead 9-3.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:36

Chance to really break this thing open.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:46

Check of Gaswind. Here's the pitch. Just low for ball three. Three balls, two strikes. One half of the fan base was like, whoa, what was that? And the other was like, thank you very much.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:59

That's a tough one to lay off of, but I mean he's a tall fella, too. So his knees are a little bit higher than yours and mine, especially mine.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:08

Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:09

Well, that's a good job. Took that out of the catcher's mit.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:17

Late decision there to swing. Fouls it off. Over toward the Lamar's dugout. Count remains three balls, two strikes. Nathan Gas went at second base. Crusaders lead 9-3, top of the fifth. Here's the pitch by Tolson. Swing and a miss. Lefavre goes down on strikes. Good at bat there, though, by Aiden. That'll bring up Blatchford. He'll be followed by Beck.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:44

Yeah, really good at bat. He's upset himself here a little bit. He liked to have that pitch back. Beckett, Blatchford. I think he knew the pitch that he was getting and he just missed it. Good pitch by uh Tolson.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:01

Runner at second for the Crusaders, one out. They've pushed two runs across in this inning. Looking for more. Pitch inside for a ball. One ball, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:16

Yeah, it's I mean, very rarely does he throw a fastball. I mean, it's it's it's either a curve or a slider.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:25

Tolson deals with plate outside ball two. Two balls, no strikes. Beck. Do up next.

unknown 1:18:42

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:47

Delivery of the plate.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:48

Here's the pitch. Oh, nice cut. Just got a piece of that one, fouled it off. Two balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:59

He's got kind of a funky swing when he when he strides. But he catches up with it and he can cover the plate, which is just because that right foot goes way to the right, but he he leans with that bat.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:14

Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:16

Laces that between short and third.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:18

Gaswent is gonna score from second.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:21

Beckett with the single.

SPEAKER_09 1:19:24

And that's exactly what I'm talking about there, Mike. That ball is in the outside corner. Beckett's foot, he he he actually strides away from the batter's box toward first base, but he ropes that thing down the left field. It's just incredible that he can reach that far across the plate. Nice piece of hit by Beckett.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:48

Well, I hope you don't find this a stretch after my UFO comment, but Blatford reminds me a little bit of uh Boog Powell with his build and the and the way he carries himself. And you've got to be really old to know who Boog Powell is.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:01

Well, actually, you know, I'm you got me visioning that, and and you're absolutely right.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:08

Hendrix Heat at the plate number 13, too.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:10

Oh man. I was I was gonna say, who's that the old twins player? Um used to put his socks all the way up to his knees. You know who I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_06 1:20:19

Killibrew? Yeah. Reminds me a little bit of him too, but he just yeah, he just can't he has that curly hair like Boog Powell had.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:25

Yeah, yeah, Killibrew and Boog Powell.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:28

Heat and pinch running for Blatchford. Oh that bounced over Clary's glove at shortstop. He was ready to make a play and try to turn a double play on that one.

SPEAKER_09 1:20:38

You know what? That's good for Chase. He's he Chase is obviously seeing the ball. He's making contact, good contact every at bat. Uh he's he's really come out of his bump tonight, man. He's had he stroked the ball really well.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:53

Brings Tommy Carroll to the plate. Runners at first and second for the Crusaders. Oh man, Tommy's 10-3 here in the top of the fifth. Tommy Homered in the first game.

SPEAKER_09 1:21:02

He just hit the ball hard, every at bat.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:05

One out here. Soft bouncer down to first base. Gets Beck. It's forced out at second for out number two.

SPEAKER_09 1:21:20

Yeah, he jammed him. He jammed him really good, got him off the handle of the bat. And uh nice slow roller to the first baseman that he could handle.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:28

Catcher number 12, Peyton Erickson. Brings Peyton Erickson to the plate. Runners at first and third with two outs. Crusaders lead this one 10-3. Be nice to get three more and hold the Bulldogs in the bottom of the inning and call it a game. Here's the first pitch by Tolson. Misses for ball one. One ball, no strikes. Erickson, the eighth batter in the inning. Tolson checks runner. First deals. Yeah. That pitch in there for a strike. One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:08

I mean, if I'm coming up to bat here, this is what I'm listening for that curveball. I'm keeping my weight back and just teeing off on it because he's throwing it 80% of the time. And you're gonna get it. In in your at bat, you're gonna get that curveball at least twice.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:26

JJ Hope would be due up next.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:35

Carl at first, heat in the third, two outs. Crusaders lead 10-3. Here's the pitch. Just misses.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:43

Yeah, inside. A little bit inside.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:46

Two balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:53

Yeah, we got something on here. Uh I think we got a hit and run going. Pitcher knows it. We're over to first. Pitcher knows it. Has close play at first.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:06

Carroll able to get back.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:21

Tolson checks a runner first and third. Here's the pitch. Inside corner, two balls, two strikes, two outs, two on.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:32

Yeah, that's that curve ball that comes. He throws it right at the at Erickson in the in the batter's box, and it just breaks right at the last minute. Cuts that inside corner. There we go. Now that's smart. That's what I'm talking about. Perfect.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:50

They've got Carroll in a rundown out there.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:53

But that's Heaton is able to score.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:59

Yeah, that's a great job. That's exactly how you want to run that. That's what I was talking to you about with uh Jonas when he was running. Stop. Got two outs. They got to tag you. That run scores before they tag you. You know, that run counts.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:15

Healing pushes four across in the inning. In the inning, we head to the bottom of the fifth. Crusaders lead 11 to 3. We'll be back in one minute.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:37

Heading to the bottom of the fifth here in Lamar's.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:18

I don't know what what they said for the pitch count, but he had like 37 in the first inning. And I think he's only in the 50s or 60s in the four innings.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:28

Yeah, he's been he's been very efficient here the last couple of innings.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:38

I don't know what the um fires were meeting in between the innings and and and I don't know what the long discussion are talking to our coach about something.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:48

And the Bulldogs. Shortstop, number two.

SPEAKER_09 1:26:51

Long story short, the run counted, and 11-3 Crusaders going into the uh bottom of the fifth. And if you missed it, our girls came away with a sweep against the Lamar's girls. Back-to-back games.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:06

First pitch by Aiden in there for strike one.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:09

Nice pitch. No balls, one strike. I like that uh sometimes he dips that right elbow and it just it really is effective. Jeez.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:18

Swing and a miss by Clary for strike two. No balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:22

That's one thing about the LeFavre boys, man. That that slider and that curveball just gets gets better and better as the game goes on.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:29

Here's the pitch. Outside. To the backstop. One ball, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:36

That's a good waist pitch. Got him down 0-2.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:45

Here's the pitch by Aiden. Outside again for ball two. Two balls, two strikes. Wind up in the delivery.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:59

That's gonna be. Trouble.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:02

That ball is hitting on the first baseline. Yep, you gotta get it. Rolls to the fence. Clary's gonna go for three.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:07

See, that's a throw. Look at this. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:13

Oh my goodness. Are you kidding me? Nathan Gas went through that from the fence on no hops. And it was there in plenty of time. And everyone on our side is wondering how that was not an out. Did he? Wow.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:34

That ball was a bullet.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:36

That was that was Dave Parker Roberto Clemente arm right there. That was something else, folks.

SPEAKER_09 1:28:42

That ball was in the corner of the right field fence up against the turnaround three band on a dime to the third baseman.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:52

I mean, it was there a good five feet before the runner got there. Do not know. Well, I kind of know the umpire was behind the play, but first pitch in there, first strike. No balls, one strike to Copperwood. Peters to follow. Here's the pitch by Lefavre. Fouled off at the plate. No balls, two strikes. That was an arm, folks. I wish you could have seen that.

SPEAKER_09 1:29:23

Just got to battle back here. I mean this run means nothing, so just go after the batter.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:30

Here's the pitch. Just missed. Ball one. One ball, two strikes. We are in the bottom of the fifth. Crusaders lead this one 11-3.

SPEAKER_09 1:29:40

Yeah, Aiden really wanted that pitch. That was right at the knees.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:45

Here's the pitch. Outside ball two. Two balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 1:29:49

Yeah, I don't mind that pitch. He's trying to backdoor that curveball in the outside corner. Try to catch the black.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:55

Clary led the inning off for Lamars with a triple. Here's the pitch by Lefavre. Swing and a miss.

SPEAKER_09 1:30:04

Strike three. Yeah, good job, Aiden. Great job coming back.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:09

SPEAKER_09 1:30:28

Yeah, great job by Peyton blocking that ball, keeping the ball in front of him.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:41

Again, we'll be on twice next week. The first is Wednesday against Harlan at four, and then we'll be home on Thursday against the North Stars.

SPEAKER_09 1:30:48

Yeah, that game against Harlan, that's a makeup game from earlier in the season that got rained out. Glad they got that thing rescheduled.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:59

The North doubleheader will be at four and six on Thursday. Pitch just misses outside. Ball three, three balls, no strikes. One out here in the inning.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:09

Yeah, you gotta battle back here. Three and oh, you don't want to lose him.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:18

Here's pitch. Pitch is high for ball four. Peters walks. Puts runners at first and third with one out. That'll bring McGinnis to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:28

Yeah, he's last couple pitches, his release points been up a little high, which is causing that ball to kind of sail on him a little bit. Just needs to refocus, get his stride back, follow through with that pitch.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:45

Cutcher number five, Brett McGinnis.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:52

Lafaber with the long look in, checks runner at first, deals to the plate. Just misses ball one. One ball, no strikes. There we go. In there for strike one.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:16

He needed that.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:18

One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:24

Get him to hit that ball on the ground. Gotta force out a second. Guy at third means nothing.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:32

Wind up in the pitch. Just misses ball two. Two balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:38

He's right in the zone. I mean, that's close. That's close. About knee high. Just maybe a little low, but not much.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:49

Deals. Just misses ball three. Three balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:56

Yeah, take a deep breath here. Three and one. It's a big this is a big out.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:06

Wind up in the pitch. Oh, just misses ball four. That'll load the bases with Bulldogs. Back-to-back walks. That will bring Reaganitter to the plate. Gonna have a mound visit here.

SPEAKER_09 1:33:23

Yeah, coach is gonna go out and talk to him a little bit, try to calm him down. He's not missed them by much. I mean, those things could be called strikes. I mean, they're right, they're borderline pitches, Mike. You know that.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:39

Yeah, he hasn't missed by much.

SPEAKER_09 1:33:40

No, he's right around the zone. So let's coach going out saying, hey, let's get through this any. Or start at any base. Bring your bring third base, first base in if you want. I mean, you can go either way here, go for the double play up the middle, but third base can come in and maybe go home first.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:09

Mound visit is over. The umpire went out and said, okay guys, that's enough.

SPEAKER_08 1:34:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:23

Reaganter will step in with the bases loaded.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:25

Baseman number six, Ben Reaganator.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:33

Crusaders lead 11 to 3, bottom of the fifth inning. Lamar's trying to push some runs across here. That first pitch to Reaganitter is a strike. No balls, one strike. Infield decides to come in. Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_10 1:34:54

There we go.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:55

Bounce to JJ at short.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:58

There we go. Throw to first double play. What a play, folks. That will end the inning. And that's how you do it, boys.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:07

Bulldogs load them. Unable to push any runs across. We'll go to the top of the six. Crusaders lead 11-3. We'll be back in one minute.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:32

Leading off the top of the six. Number 12, Peyton Erickson.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:38

Peyton Erickson was at the plate to end the last inning whenever we had the run down out at second, and the run was able to score. So here's the first pitch to Peyton. Lays off that one. Ball one, one ball, no strikes. Top of the six, Crusaders lead, 11-3. JJ Hope, do up next. Yeah, that wind up in the pitch. Drops in there for strike one. One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:12

Yeah, he throws. I mean, he's he's he's thrown him two curveballs. The chance of that throwing a third one here is pretty good. He's throwing about 80% of curveballs.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:21

Here's a pitch. Inside, just misses Peyton. Two balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:27

Just keep that way back, Peyton. He's been hanging it, so it's a good pitch to hit.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:34

Here's the pitch. Three balls, one strike. JJ Hope do up next. And the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 1:38:48

Just missed it.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:49

Fouled off out of play down the first baseline. Brings the count full. Three balls, two strikes. Hope do up. Shayner to follow. Shayner Homer is last time up.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:00

The wind's died down a little bit, but it's still blowing straight out of center. Maybe a little toward left.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:06

Here's the pitch. Bounces in there for ball four.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:08

Nice, nice at bat.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:10

Peyton again, not happy he got a walk, but hey, buddy, you're on base.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:13

Doesn't matter how you get there.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:15

We're I am quite confident we'll have a courtesy runner. And it will be Jonas Jansen again.

SPEAKER_08 1:39:23

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:25

Heading out there.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:29

Courtesy runner for the catcher. Number three, Jonas Jensen at the plate for healing. Number five, JJ Hope.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:35

JJ Hope steps in.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:37

Yeah, the the transformation of JJ Hope at shortstop and at the plate this year is just it's it's really incredible. I mean.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:49

It's been fun to watch. Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:52

It really, really has.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:54

In there for strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:39:56

I mean, his his uh his patience at the plate.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:04

Pitch.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:04

Yeah, another rope.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:06

Bounces over the third baseman's glove out into left field. That'll put runners at first and second with no outs.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:12

Yeah, that was a hard hit.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:14

Brody Shaner will step in.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:17

Took a goofy bounce. You know, he didn't have time to get his body in front of it to try to knock it down, and one of those hops just right over the right over the glove.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:27

Brody Homered his last time up.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:30

Third baseman, number 11, Brody Shainer.

SPEAKER_09 1:40:32

Yeah, but the transformation of JJ from second to shortstop. I mean, we've literally watched it just right in front of us. I mean, he's made several plays tonight.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:45

Here's the pitch for hits that off the third baseman's glove. Not able to not able to tag everybody Jonas as he runs by, everybody's safe. So the Crusaders have the bases loaded with no outs. And that brings Dylan Knapp to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:02

Yeah, that was a hard hit. Would have been an extremely good play. He had no he really had no play but to try to go for the run.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:08

Center fielder number 22, Dylan Knapp.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:11

Not fielding it cleanly threw him off. Jonas was able to avoid the tag and load the bases.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:17

Well, here we go, Mike. Bases loaded, no outs.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:20

I mean. First pitch to Dylan.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:23

Yeah, nice pitch.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:24

In there for strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:28

Tolson doesn't throw bad. I mean, he's got a nice curveball. Kind of keeps it high a little bit. I'd like to see him if he's gonna be more effective. He needs to get that curveball down a little bit more in the zone.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:41

That pitch in there for strike two. No balls, two strikes. Dylan's got him right where he wants him.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:47

But we like it when he keeps it high because we're hitting the heck out of it.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:51

Nathan Gas went due up next. Rumbling around the bases, getting doubles all night long. Here we go.

SPEAKER_08 1:41:59

That one could be that could be caught at the fence by the center fielder.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:07

Jonas tags. He scores.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:11

Yeah, good job. Nice sacrifice fly. And right as I said that, the winds died down. That ball's out an inning earlier.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:19

Yep. Yeah, one inning earlier, folks, and we're talking grand slam home run for Dylan Knapp. Yeah, that'll bring Nathan Gaslin to the plate. Crusaders lead this one 12-3.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:31

Did his job. Mike got the ball up in the air, got a run in. Let's knock another one in here.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:38

Runners at first and second with one out. Pitch in there for strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:43:00

We can be out of here in six.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:03

Long look. That pitch high to Nathan. One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:43:09

Two guys on. Situation baseball. Just put the ball in play in high school baseball. You just gotta put the ball in play. Things happen.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:21

That center fielder is almost up against the fence out there. I see him.

SPEAKER_08 1:43:28

I mean he is He's deep. He is deep.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:32

He looks like he's ready to be the first one in the classroom tomorrow.

SPEAKER_09 1:43:37

He is. He's about at the warning track.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:41

Here's the windup in the pitch. Just misses. Three balls, one strike. One out. Runners first and second for the Crusaders. They lead this one 12-3. Trying to put an exclamation point on the night. Long look by Tolson. He deals. At pitch high. Ball four. That'll load the bases. That will bring up Aiden Lefaver.

SPEAKER_09 1:44:13

Yeah, here you go, Aiden. Got an opportunity right here. Bases loaded. Got a couple RBIs out there. You can help yourself out here. Get a couple runs in and hold them, and we can go home early.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:27

Number 18.

SPEAKER_09 1:44:28

You kind of like that sound, don't you, Mike?

SPEAKER_06 1:44:30

Well, it's 9 45.

SPEAKER_09 1:44:31

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:36

Bases loaded with Crusaders. 12-3, top of the sixth. That ball is laced out to right field. One run will score. Brody will be held at third.

SPEAKER_09 1:44:51

Yeah, nice piece of hitting by Aiden. Inside out, right field. Beautiful.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:57

That makes a score 13-3, and that will bring Beckett Blatford to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 1:45:04

Yeah, pinch runner here.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:06

Cal Geeesey going in for Aiden LeFaver.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:13

Courtesy runner for the pitcher, number one in Cal Gese. And here comes our favorite Blatford. Beckett!

SPEAKER_06 1:45:21

Come on, Boob Pal. You can do it, buddy.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:27

I just love this kid. What a great kid.

SPEAKER_09 1:45:41

I just would love to see him just connect and put that thing in orbit. Because when that ball comes off his bat, it's a rope. Every time he makes contact.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:51

He probably could have started in the sand lot, too.

SPEAKER_09 1:45:54

He could.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:56

Here's the pitch. Outside ball two. Two balls, no strikes.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:02

Yeah, he's definitely an old school looking player, isn't he? I love it.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:08

The only thing he needs to do is bring those stirrups up.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:10

Yeah, I'm going to talk to him about that.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:14

Wind up in the pitch. Outside ball three. Base is full of Crusaders. No pace, no place to put young Mr. Blatchford.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:23

Yeah, 13 to 3. Another insurance run would be nice so that uh Mr. Aiden uh Favor would come out and finish it.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:31

Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:32

There he is. He ropes that out to right field. That's gonna score one. That's gonna score two. Two-run score on that.

SPEAKER_09 1:46:43

Great job of hitting by Beckett. He's he's seeing the ball really well, folks. And and I really to describe how that ball comes off the bat when he hits it, it's just like a rocket.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:56

Moravic is gonna pinch run for Boog Powell. I mean Beckett Blatchford. He's got a big smile on his face as he comes to the dugout. He's had quite a couple nights between JV and Varsity baseball here.

SPEAKER_09 1:47:09

Yeah. Hitting the ball well.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:11

Scores 15 to 3. Crusaders lead. We're in the top of the sixth inning. Second base in the middle.

SPEAKER_09 1:47:16

Speaking of hitting the ball well, I mean Chase. And it's been first pitch every time. He's just been just been teeing off.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:24

Beck steps in, still only one out. Here's the pitch. That's in there for strike one. No balls, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 1:47:35

When I say that, he lets that one go by him.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:41

Gesey at second. Moravic at first. Crusaders trying to add to their 15-3 lead here in the top of the six. Here's the pitch. He's not able to get to it. That is gonna load the bases. Again, the base is full of Crusaders.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:00

Great night. Is that a four-hit night for him?

SPEAKER_06 1:48:03

One, two, three. Yeah, he's got two triples and two singles.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:08

Just in this game.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:10

That's what I mean. This game. What's he have from the last game?

SPEAKER_06 1:48:13

Well, well, let's go back. John, we got a couple seconds here while we have a break in the action. I think he's got like six. Last game, uh he is officially five for eight.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:25

Yeah, he's having a nice night. And he hit the ball well first game, got that hit.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:31

That'll drive the batting average up just a little bit.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:33

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:35

Bases loaded with Crusaders here in the top of the sixth inning. They lead this one 15-3. And we're gonna have a pitching change.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:45

And the guy you got coming up is probably the hottest hitter as far as making contact we have right now, Tommy Carroll.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:52

And in case you missed it, our girdles, uh, Healan Bishop Bishop Healan Girls played uh in the field behind us um earlier tonight and swept the doubleheader.

SPEAKER_09 1:58:49

Yeah, let's get out of this, Annie. Let's let's fight back here. Three-and-one.

SPEAKER_06 1:58:53

Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss, strike two. Brings the count full. Three balls, two strikes. Crusaders lead 15-3. We're in the bottom of the sixth inning.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:03

Yeah, Jackson's ready to go.

SPEAKER_06 1:59:06

Here's the pitch.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:08

Hello.

SPEAKER_06 1:59:13

Tolls and walks. The Bulldogs have a runner at first, no outs. That will bring Jennery to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:22

Gotta force out a second base. Left fielder, number nine, Jacob. You know, just throw strikes. Let's get out of this inning. Uh just pack it up and let's go home.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:33

First pitch fouled off.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:34

Oh, at that hit. That hit Peyton. Really good. Umpire smart. He's he's going out talking.

SPEAKER_06 1:59:44

He he's helping Peyton by walking out and talking to the pitcher, but he's walking like he's speed walking in the Olympic race or something. He needs to slow it down just a little bit.

SPEAKER_09 1:59:53

Yeah. Good job by the umpire recognizing that uh that Peyton got dinged a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 2:00:00

Could have given him a little bit more time to recover. He was like his number was called an In N Out burger. He was gonna go pick up his food. One ball, one strike.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:11

I just want to say maybe open that zone a little bit more this inning so we can go home.

SPEAKER_06 2:00:20

Vickery deals. Swing and a miss. Throw down to first.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:24

There we go. I like see seeing Peyton do that once in a while.

SPEAKER_06 2:00:28

One ball, two strikes. Good job by Mason over there.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:00:33

Keeping that ball from getting out into right field.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:35

I like Mason at first base. Plays a nice first base over there.

SPEAKER_06 2:00:40

Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. Strike three. Out number one. Tolson at first. One out for the Bulldogs here in the bottom of the six. That'll bring Dale to the plate.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:52

Well, I tell you what, Jackson. Jackson's got a little uh giddy up in his uh in his fastball in this second game. I think he's got a little more velocity than he did in the first game.

SPEAKER_06 2:01:03

Wind up in the pitch. Nice that pitch in there for strike one. No balls, one strike. Pick due up next.

SPEAKER_09 2:01:15

Let's get a nice routine double play here.

SPEAKER_06 2:01:18

Pitch, swing and a miss, strike two. No balls, two strikes.

SPEAKER_09 2:01:20

Yeah, keep that ball right there at the numbers. Threw that ball just right up at the chest. I think he throws that ball there again. He's gonna go for it.

SPEAKER_06 2:01:34

Pickory checks the runner at first.

SPEAKER_09 2:01:36

Yeah, Pate's given the high high. Winds and deals. There it is.

SPEAKER_06 2:01:40

Good morning, good afternoon, and good night. Strikeout number two in the inning.

SPEAKER_09 2:01:44

Same spot. Love that pitch. Great job.

SPEAKER_06 2:01:47

Two down for the Bulldogs. That'll bring Pick to the plate. He's the last chance for the Bulldogs.

SPEAKER_07 2:01:55

Third baseman, number seven, Cooper Pitt.

SPEAKER_06 2:02:03

Here's the pitch. Outside, ball one. One ball, no strikes. Clary do up next. Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. One ball, one strike. Two outs. Crusaders lead 15 to 3. We're in the bottom of the six.

SPEAKER_09 2:02:30

He can't hold off on that high fastball. Like just give him another one here.

SPEAKER_06 2:02:34

Here's the pitch. That hit out to center field. Dylan Knapp tracks it down. That's out number three. That will end the game, folks.

SPEAKER_04 2:02:43

Dylan at great jump.

SPEAKER_06 2:02:45

Crusaders win this one 15-3. Great job in the doubleheader tonight by Bishop Healing. Hitting, fielding, pitching. Oh my gosh. All around great performance by this baseball team tonight.

SPEAKER_09 2:02:56

I couldn't be more happier, Mike, with this group of guys after going through the other night against East. They could have come in here feeling sorry for themselves. You know, the woe is me, so to speak. They didn't. They came in, they gathered themselves and got great pitching performances from Dylan Knapp, Nadin LeFavre, and a great job closing them out by Jackson Vickery in both games.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:25

Yeah, we uh we got to see some some well-struck balls, some well-hit balls. We got to see a few home runs tonight. We knew that was gonna happen based on the way the wind was blowing when we got here. And uh great great bounce back by the Crusaders. Absolutely. Uh but they've got to continue to build on it. They've got a tough Harlan team next Wednesday, and then they've got to face north the next day at a double header.

SPEAKER_09 2:03:47

So I'm not sure. Now I are we on the road Tuesday? Do we do we have a double header Tuesday?

SPEAKER_06 2:03:53

They're on the road.

SPEAKER_09 2:03:53

So they got six game or five games next week then. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:03:59

They're gonna be busy next week, but yeah, uh we'll we'll see how they can come through next week and and continue to finish the rest of the season out. And we appreciate everybody out there listening. Uh keep supporting Catholic Radio. Grace Todd, another fantastic job on your part. We appreciate all that you do.
