Antelopes improve record with three wins

By JIM RUMBLE

It's been one heck of a week for the Avonworth baseball team, one that saw the Antelopes pick up three wins and improve their overall record to 4-2 and 4-1 in the section .

The highlight of the week came on Thursday, April 14, when senior Nick Hobbs, pitching in his first ever start, threw a no-hitter in a section game at home against Elderton while registering 10 strike-outs.

After the game, coach Phil Coffin said, "It's the first time all year and we've been working with him since he was a sophomore. He was able to come around with his curve ball."

Avonworth drops at PNC

By JIM RUMBLE

Not even the excitement of playing at PNC Park could evoke a win for the Avonworth baseball team when they met Our Lady Of Sacred Heart last Friday.

The Antelopes, who jumped out to an early lead, surrendered six runs in the fourth inning on their way to a 7-3 loss.

Starting pitcher Tom Turnbull seemed to have things under control, keeping OLSH off the scoreboard for the first three innings.

What?

It’s hard to tell who was more surprised by the umpire’s call when Avonworth’s Nick Hobbs was ruled out at home plate during the bottom of the sixth inning as the ‘Lopes played OLSH at PNC Park last Friday. The Antelopes unfortunately emulated the success of the Pittsburgh Pirates who regularly play at the stadium, and lost 7-3.
