Obituary -- Nancy Ulibarri 1939-2018
Nancy Alice Ulibarri, 78, Blue Springs, Missouri, died peacefully at her home April 28, 2018. Nancy was born November 11, 1939, in Boulder, Colorado, to Clifford and Vivian (Hardy) Grace. She lived briefly in a one-room cabin built by her father in Eldora, Colorado, before moving with her parents to Wichita, Kansas, during World War II and subsequently to Worth County, Missouri, where both her parents had been reared and where she grew up happily on a farm southeast of Grant City, Missouri.
Nancy attended public school in Grant City where she was a talented member of the Grant City band program and an award-winning percussionist and timpanist. She graduated from Grant City High School in 1958; obtained her RN degree from Methodist Hospital School of Nursing, St. Joseph, in 1961; and a BS in Nursing from Webster University, Webster Groves, in 1993.
Nancy married Frank Ulibarri, also of Blue Springs, in 1995, having moved to the town in 1988. She was a loving and devoted mother to her two daughters, Kellie Thrasher Bryson and Lori Thrasher Brown, both of whom were born in Albany, Missouri, during which time Nancy also served as a school nurse and a hospital and private practice nurse. Nancy went on to work as a nurse in hospitals in Sweet Springs, Missouri, where she also served as director of nursing, and Blue Springs before retiring in 2004.
Nancy loved being a homemaker and was an exceptional cook and baker, excelled at all types of sewing and needlework including quilting, enjoyed gardening and yard work and discovered a love of painting following retirement. She loved reading, hiking with her husband and other family members and vacationing in her first home, the tiny one-room Rocky Mountain cabin her father built in 1939, and traveling and taking cruises with Frank.
Nancy was preceded in death by her parents and their first daughter Betty LaViv. She is survived by her husband Frank; the father of her daughters David Thrasher, Higginsville, Missouri; her daughter Kellie, son-in-law Randy, grandson Corey and granddaughter Heather Bryson, Sedalia, Missouri; daughter Lori and son-in-law Jeff Brown, West Plains, Missouri, and grandson Logan Patterson, Columbia, Missouri; sister Teddee Grace, Boulder, Colorado; and brother C.P.

He will remain as a Physical Education teacher, Head Baseball Coach, and Athletic Director for the school. The Forum reported that the vote was 5-2 against Proffitt as basketball coach. Assistant Coach James Mattson submitted his resignation, and it was accepted by the board. Board member Victor West made the motion to rehire Proffitt and Katrina McIntyre seconded the motion. Other board members are Kenny Runde, Jeff Redden, Darrin Adwell, Sheldon Scadden, and Kenna Florea.
Proffitt started out in 2015-16 winning three games after posting a winning season for the girls in 2013-2014. The boys won 11 games in 2016-17 and posted their first winning season since the 2011-2012 campaign last year, going 17-10.

NEN Baseball Clinches Fifth Straight Conference Title
Northeast Nodaway’s baseball team clinched its fifth straight conference title last week, getting wins over East Atchison, Platte Valley, and West Nodaway to do so.
Against the Wolves, NEN trailed 2-1 in the third inning. However, with one out in the East Atchison half, centerfielder Dylan Mildfeldt doubled off an East Atchison runner after catching Gage McAdams’ deep drive, getting the Bluejays out of the inning. From there, the rest of the game was an offensive showcase for the squad. NEN set a team record with seven home runs as they pulled away to an 18-8 win. Spencer Weir, Cameron Staples, and Brayden Welch all hit two, while Spencer Gray hit another one as NEN weathered a six-run fifth inning from East Atchison.
That set up NEN’s showdown with Platte Valley. Northeast and East Atchison had little competition for the top two slots this year, but everyone else in the conference has shown they are good enough to play spoiler. For instance, DeKalb led NEN at one point in the fifth inning, while North Nodaway played East Atchison tough in another game before losing 4-2. Northeast had to hold off a late rally by the Longhorns in Guilford earlier this year; they had the tying run on second in the last inning before NEN shut them down to preserve the 6-5 win there.
NEN sent Ethan Adwell up to pitch against the Longhorns Tuesday; he had shut down the Longhorns last year right when NEN needed a win to jumpstart their season. He got the Longhorns in order in the first before Reed McIntyre singled and stole second in the NEN first. Cameron Staples popped out, but Chet Spire walked and Ethan Adwell helped himself out by singling to left. McIntyre was safe on a throw home on a close play and Northeast was up 1-0.
The Bluejays got a two out rally in the second to add to their lead. It looked like nothing would happen after Maverick Price roped one, but right at the center fielder for the second out, but Levi Boulting kept NEN alive by doubling off the wall in left and making it to third on a close play following a wild pitch. Spencer Weir then got a home run to left that traveled around 300 feet and NEN was up 3-0.
Platte Valley got two runs back as #23 roped one fair past first for a double and #1 reached on an error after hitting a grounder that went through second baseman Levi Boulting’s legs to make it 3-1. #10 was called out on strikes, but #11 walked and Nate Jermain singled to load the bases. #21 grounded out into a force at short as another run scored to make it 3-2.
NEN regained control in the bottom of the inning as Chet Spire walked and Ethan Adwell helped himself out by hitting a home run just to the left of the flagpole to make it 5-2. Northeast got out of trouble in the fourth as #1 roped a hard grounder up the middle with two outs with a runner on. But shortstop Spencer Weir, despite having his view blocked by the base umpire, managed to pick up a short-hop and throw him out to retire the side.
Levi Boulting started off the NEN fourth by singling between third and short. It looked like his efforts would go to waste as Northeast hit two hard balls right at people, with Weir hitting a hard grounder to third that resulted in a force at second, and Reed McIntyre hit one to the opposite field that looked like it was in the gap, but was caught by the left fielder. But then Cameron Staples singled between third and short to keep NEN’s chances alive and Chet Spire got a bad hop single that went through to score Weir. Ethan Adwell walked to load the bases and Brayden Welch hit a hard shot to short that he knocked down, but had no play as Staples scored to make it 7-2.
In the Platte Valley fifth, NEN catcher Chet Spire threw out the first of three Longhorn runners trying to steal; Ethan Adwell uncorked a pitch that got away from him with one out and a runner on first, but Spire scooped it up with his bare hand and threw out the runner at second. Later, third baseman Cameron Staples caught Nate Jermain’s laser beam that looked headed for extra bases and retired him for the final out. Maverick Price started off the NEN fifth by a single; #3 walked the bases full and then walked Reed McIntyre to force in a run, finishing his day. #1 came on in relief, but Cameron Staples flied out to right to score one run and Ethan Adwell flied out to center to score another to make it 10-2.
Chet Spire threw out his second runner out stealing to start the sixth after a walk. That loomed up strongly as #22 was hit by a pitch and #44 hit a sinking line drive that sliced away from Dylan Mildfeldt and over the fence for a two run home run to make it 10-4, chasing Adwell and bringing on Spencer Weir. But Weir got out of the inning and Reed McIntyre doubled in Maverick Price to make it 11-4.
Platte Valley made another attempt to rally in the seventh, putting runners on first and second with one out, but Weir overpowered Nate Jermain for a three pitch strikeout and Chet Spire threw out #10 trying to steal following a rundown to end the game.
That game clinched at least a tie for conference, and NEN won it outright Thursday when they downed West Nodaway 9-7.

Mustang Baseball No-Hit By Jacob Flint, Rockets
North Nodaway’s baseball team, with two wins under their belt, had every reason to expect better in their second encounter against archrival West Nodaway after losing 14-2 the first time. But after battling gamely for three innings, the bottom dropped out from under them and they were no-hit by Rocket hurler Jacob Flint and fell 12-0 in five innings.
Mustang hurler Drexel Richardson threw slowly, but was able to throw his fastball and slow breaking ball for strikes to keep the Rocket batters off balance for a while. Lucas Alvarez had his best game in the field, making several catches, while second baseman Andrew Blackford made some good plays at second.
In the top of the first, Richardson froze Eli Sanders and David Hull with his big slow breaking pitch. Korbin Koch singled, but Cody Galyan grounded out to Tyler Bix at short to end the threat.
Karson Oberhauser was plunked by Flint’s first pitch to lead off the Mustang first. Lucas Alvarez and Tyler Bix grounded out to move them over, but Logan Keho struck out to end a rare Mustang threat.
Parker Ogle singled to left to start the Rocket second. Trace Hunt flied out to Lucas Alvarez in left, but an errant pickoff throw by Richardson put Ogle on second and he stole third. Jacob Flint hit a Texas Leaguer that dropped in between second and right for a base hit to score one. It would have been worse, but Dustin Riddle’s pop fly was caught by Andrew Blackford at second; he then doubled off Flint to limit the damage to one run.
After North Nodaway went in order in the second, Eli Sanders’ line drive with one out was fair past third for a double. Alvarez’s brilliant running catch of David Hull’s pop fly was the second out, but Korbin Koch’s single scored Sanders to make it 2-0. Once again, Alvarez limited the damage as he caught Cody Galyan’s drive to deep left field to end the inning.
But once again, North Nodaway came up empty at the plate in the third. Drexel Richardson’s grounder up the middle hit off the mound, but second baseman Parker Ogle got to it in time to throw him out and preserve Flint’s no-no. Another near-miss came with two outs when Karson Oberhauser’s screamer was right at Trace Hunt, who made a basket catch to preserve Flint’s no-hitter again.
The bottom dropped out in the fourth for Richardson. Tyler Bix was played by a hop off the bat of the speedy Parker Ogle and bobbled it; Ogle stole second and third. Trace Hunt chased a high pitch from Richardson but connected and put it in play, grounding out to Andrew Blackford at second to score Ogle. Richardson plunked Flint and walked Dustin Riddle on a close 3-2 pitch. Dylan Carden forced Riddle at second, leaving first and third with two outs. Carden stole second and the top of the order came up. Sanders walked to load the bases and David Hull, Korbin Koch, and Cody Galyan all singled to bring five runs home and put West Nodaway up 8-0 after four. It would have been worse had not Lucas Alvarez made another catch of Ogle’s deep drive to left.
Andrew Blackford came on in relief of Richardson in the fourth; once again, he nearly got out of the inning, but once again, North Nodaway could not get the elusive third out. Trace Hunt singled to left between third and short and went to second on a wild pitch. But catcher Karson Oberhauser nailed Hunt trying to steal third for the first out. Jacob Flint walked and the next two Rocket batters reached on errors as first baseman Ryan Riley was played by a hop off Gabe Goff’s grounder and Dylan Carden’s grounder was bobbled by Tyler Bix at short. That let in a run and put runners on second and third after Carden stole second.
Blackford threw a big breaking ball to strike out Sanders for the second out, but David Hull hit a hard grounder off third baseman Logan Keho’s glove that he had no play on, letting in a run. Korbin Koch walked and shortstop Tyler Bix was able to stop Cody Galyan’s drive up the middle, but he had no play either. Blackford was then called for a balk, letting in West Nodaway’s fourth run.
Mustang hurler Drexel Richardson threw slowly, but was able to throw his fastball and slow breaking ball for strikes to keep the Rocket batters off balance for a while. Lucas Alvarez had his best game in the field, making several catches, while second baseman Andrew Blackford made some good plays at second.
In the top of the first, Richardson froze Eli Sanders and David Hull with his big slow breaking pitch. Korbin Koch singled, but Cody Galyan grounded out to Tyler Bix at short to end the threat.
Karson Oberhauser was plunked by Flint’s first pitch to lead off the Mustang first. Lucas Alvarez and Tyler Bix grounded out to move them over, but Logan Keho struck out to end a rare Mustang threat.
Parker Ogle singled to left to start the Rocket second. Trace Hunt flied out to Lucas Alvarez in left, but an errant pickoff throw by Richardson put Ogle on second and he stole third. Jacob Flint hit a Texas Leaguer that dropped in between second and right for a base hit to score one. It would have been worse, but Dustin Riddle’s pop fly was caught by Andrew Blackford at second; he then doubled off Flint to limit the damage to one run.
After North Nodaway went in order in the second, Eli Sanders’ line drive with one out was fair past third for a double. Alvarez’s brilliant running catch of David Hull’s pop fly was the second out, but Korbin Koch’s single scored Sanders to make it 2-0. Once again, Alvarez limited the damage as he caught Cody Galyan’s drive to deep left field to end the inning.
But once again, North Nodaway came up empty at the plate in the third. Drexel Richardson’s grounder up the middle hit off the mound, but second baseman Parker Ogle got to it in time to throw him out and preserve Flint’s no-no. Another near-miss came with two outs when Karson Oberhauser’s screamer was right at Trace Hunt, who made a basket catch to preserve Flint’s no-hitter again.
The bottom dropped out in the fourth for Richardson. Tyler Bix was played by a hop off the bat of the speedy Parker Ogle and bobbled it; Ogle stole second and third. Trace Hunt chased a high pitch from Richardson but connected and put it in play, grounding out to Andrew Blackford at second to score Ogle. Richardson plunked Flint and walked Dustin Riddle on a close 3-2 pitch. Dylan Carden forced Riddle at second, leaving first and third with two outs. Carden stole second and the top of the order came up. Sanders walked to load the bases and David Hull, Korbin Koch, and Cody Galyan all singled to bring five runs home and put West Nodaway up 8-0 after four. It would have been worse had not Lucas Alvarez made another catch of Ogle’s deep drive to left.
Andrew Blackford came on in relief of Richardson in the fourth; once again, he nearly got out of the inning, but once again, North Nodaway could not get the elusive third out. Trace Hunt singled to left between third and short and went to second on a wild pitch. But catcher Karson Oberhauser nailed Hunt trying to steal third for the first out. Jacob Flint walked and the next two Rocket batters reached on errors as first baseman Ryan Riley was played by a hop off Gabe Goff’s grounder and Dylan Carden’s grounder was bobbled by Tyler Bix at short. That let in a run and put runners on second and third after Carden stole second.
Blackford threw a big breaking ball to strike out Sanders for the second out, but David Hull hit a hard grounder off third baseman Logan Keho’s glove that he had no play on, letting in a run. Korbin Koch walked and shortstop Tyler Bix was able to stop Cody Galyan’s drive up the middle, but he had no play either. Blackford was then called for a balk, letting in West Nodaway’s fourth run.

Hopkins Historical Society Celebrates 20th Anniversary
The 20th anniversary of the Hopkins Historical Society was observed March 27th during a meeting of the organization held at the museum in Hopkins.
Jim Cline, President, welcomed the group to the evening gathering after which he entertained with the reading of interesting excerpts from the book, “A Time Capsule of Hopkins History.” The 285 page book was researched and compiled by Russell and Anna Cross, former editors of the Hopkins Journal. Published in 2002, the book contains a chronicle listing of events in Hopkins as they were recorded in the Journal in files dating from the 1890’s to 2002. A few copies of the book remain in possession of the Hopkins Historical Society and are available for purchase at the museum.
In addition to President Cline, other officers reelected were Garland O’Riley (Vice-President), and Lois Brand (Treasurer). Joyce Hennegin was elected Secretary to fill the vacancy left by Linda Cross, who chose to retire after serving for several years. Elected for a one-year term, Anna Mae Thompson is the only new member serving on the board.
Since March marks the beginning of a new year for the organization, annual dues of $10 per person are now payable. The money collected from dues is used for the operating expenses of the museum.
With springtime came thoughts of maintenance and “sprucing up” the museum building. Following a brief discussion, it was decided to promptly move forward with the installation of new carpet. A cleaning day will be determined following the carpet project.
The summer and fall schedule calls for the museum to officially open for visitors on Tuesday afternoon, May 1st at 1 pm. It will continue to be open each Tuesday afternoon through October. Volunteers will be there to greet and welcome visitors on those designated days. The museum will be open Friday and Saturday nights during the Hopkins Picnic in July.
The group was pleased to accept the donation of a glass display case from Ernie Bosley, a resident of Hopkins. The case will be moved and set in place following the carpet installation.
The Hopkins Historical Society was organized March 19th, 1998. The idea of forming a historical group was introduced by Russell and Anna Cross. Open to the public, the first meeting was held at the Cross family home in south Hopkins in February, 1998. The concept was enthusiastically received by interested citizens of the community who made plans to move forward with an organization committed to preserving the history of the then-126 year old town. Now, 20 years later, the mission remains the same: to research, collect, interpret, exhibit, and preserve items that tell the story of Hopkins and its residents.

WCCC to Move Forward With SSM Rural Health Clinic
The WCCC Board voted Wednesday to move forward with talks with SSM/St. Francis to put a Rural Health Clinic where the current activity room is by drawing up a letter of intent. The plan involves SSM using two current residential rooms along with the current activity room to put in a rural health clinic. There would be a nurse practitioner, and specialists could visit the facility depending on need. The board agreed to move forward after the estimated cost for changes to the facility went down from an estimated $90,000 to an estimated $52,000.
Funding would come from loans from Nodaway County Economic Development, the Worth County Progress Organization, and private donations. SSM would pay an estimated $1,800 per month to lease the space for five years and would keep the proceeds. This service would be offered in addition to the current rehab services that are being offered by Aegis on the east wing. It would also be in addition to the medical clinic that Mosaic is building where the old Casey’s building is located.
The hope for the Worth County Care & Rehab Center is that with two medical clinics in town, more patients will be sent locally to the WCCC instead of people having to go to Albany or Maryville for services. For instance, people would be able to get X-Rays locally instead of having to go to Maryville or Albany. Around 20 years ago, when there were two doctors in town, the facility had 60 residents with a waiting list.
The attraction for SSM is that by putting in a rural health clinic at the WCCC, they will get higher reimbursement rates than they normally would, meaning more incentive to send patients to the WCCC. Economically, the plan would create jobs and allow people to come back home; board member Susan (Gladstone) Tucker said that she had heard from 10 people who were interested in working at the new clinic if it gets off the ground.
The main expense for the WCCC would be added electricity and water expenses. SSM would be responsible for cleaning its wing. The parking in both the front and back parking lots would be the same.
The next step for the facility is to draw up the letter of intent to proceed with negotiations. It is not legally binding, but it allows negotiations to move forward. “There is more risk in us not doing this than in going forward,” said Tucker.
The board reorganized following the April 3rd Municipal Elections. Scott Houk was named President again while Patti Spainhower was named Vice-President. Other board members are Tucker, Don Null, and Jim Larson. There is a vacancy for the West Union slot. Former board member Jeff Thummel’s term was up, and he did not seek reelection.
Administrator Bev Miller reported that the current census is 18, with two Medicare Part A’s. The Easter Egg Hunt, held despite inclement weather, had 30 participants in the coloring contest. The Worth County School is holding its prom on April 28th, and participants will visit the residents.

R-III Students Help Restore 1840’s Worth County Log Cabin
For one of their community service projects for Tuesday, Worth County students went to Denver and helped Lowell Houts restore a log cabin built by William McNight in around 1847. It is a 16 foot by 16 foot structure located on 160 acres. The builder was also responsible for building the mill in Denver. This is one of the oldest known structures in Worth County. Students were chinking between the logs, cleaning up brush and trash, and doing some lifting chores at the schoolhouse.
For Community Service Day, students from Worth County went around the county and did community service activities and trash cleanup. School was dismissed early that day for the Tiger Relays.
In Sheridan, students cleaned up the park, roads, and community hall. Another group went to the Senior Center where they played dominoes with the regulars. Another group went to Orilla’s Way, where they played music for the residents. The 8th graders went out around Grant City, picked up trash, and received positive comments for their work. Another group went to Worth, where they cleaned up the Community Hall there, washed the windows, and cleaned up trash around town. Another group went to Allendale, where they painted the bleachers at the Rodeo Grounds. Another group went to the Worth County Care & Rehab Center, where they painted the gazebo and spent time working on crafts with the residents there.

Obituary -- Connie Sanders 1947-2018
Connie Lee (King) Sanders, 70, passed away on April 14, 2018 with her family by her side at NKC Hospital after battling cancer. She was born in Elston, Iowa to Joseph and Mary Kathryn (McCarty) King on December 3, 1947. She was a lifelong resident of Worth County Missouri where she grew up helping on the family farm and caring for her siblings.
Connie met the love of her life, Charles Sanders at the Grant City Skating rink and later married on November 5, 1965. After graduating from Worth County R-3, she and Charles (US Navy) moved to Rhode Island where they had their first born, Kelly. They moved back to Grant City and completed their family with two more daughters Diania and Lisa, and later helped raise Jim her nephew.
Connie began a 49 year career watching over 60 plus children in her home. Her love did not just extend to her own children, but each and every one of the children she cared for. This was evident by the many “I don’t want to go home and tears because they did not want to leave Grandma Connie’s.” She always enjoyed many of the children stopping by to see her over the years. Connie enjoyed being a Girl Scout Leader for her three girls and continued her many arts and crafts projects with her grandchildren. When she wasn’t caring for children, she spent hours outside mowing, gardening, or watching cars drive by while drinking iced tea. Connie was a person who loved being with her family, spending time outside, watching soap operas, and making Charles a “honey do” list.
Connie is survived by her husband Charles of 52 years, daughters Kelly (James) Jackson of Kansas City, Missouri, Diania Sanders (Ed) of Sheridan, Missouri, and Lisa (Jason) Krone of Bonner Springs, KS and her “son” nephew Jim (Tammy) Blakley of Cowgill, Missouri. Her mother Kathryn King, brother, Ron (Liz) King and four sisters Linda (Will) Brown, Betty (Raymond) McCabe, Peggy (Lynn) Schoenmann, and Mary (Marty) Nurski and many nieces, nephews, and extended family. The joys of her life were her 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Connie was preceded in death by her father, Joseph King.
Graveside Memorial Service at 2:00 P.M. Friday, April 20, 2018 at the Grant City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Learning Academy of Assembly Of God Church, Worth County Fire Department or Worth County Ambulance.
Arrangements are under direction of Prugh-Dunfee Funeral Home in Grant City, Missouri.

Grant City Golf Club Reveals More Plans for Course Renovation
The Grant City Golf Club Board met on March 22nd to make plans for the DNR Grant for the Clubhouse and Community Room as well as renovation to the Golf Course. Janice Borey has submitted the grant to the Missouri DNR and they will know this fall if they have received the grant.
The DNR Grant will pay for a kitchen and handicapped restrooms; however, most of the money must be used for the golf course. This means that the remainder of the money for the building must be raised by the Golf Club.
The Golf Board has drawn up plans for a 40x80 building that will cost approximately $200,000. The Golf Board is seeking donations and pledges for the project. The new building will allow the course to make more money off rental activities.
Some plans for the course itself include replacing old sand with new, tiling the fairway of number two, where there is a standing water problem, installing a new bridge on the east side, making number 7 a pond again, ditching and rock placement, new benches, ball washers, and tee off markers along with landscaping.
Dues this year are $190 (Family), Individual ($120), and Student ($60). Rentals are Electric Cart ($65), and Gas Cart ($60). Green Fees are $10 and Club House Rental is $150.
Board members for this year include Lenny Campbell (President), Ernie Owens (Vice President), Berta Owens (Secretary-Treasurer), Guy Fletchall, Wanda Fletchall, Dave Brown, Megan Brown, Brandon Dunfee, Derek Verbick, Nate Lewis, Catherine Runde, and Tiffany Owens.
The golf season for this year will start with a Men’s Night at 6 pm on May 3rd, followed by a Women’s Night at 5:30 pm on May 15th. A Club Tournament will be held on the 27th; it will be two person best show at 1 pm, with meat provided. The McCrary Benefit will be June 10th this year. A Lodge Benefit will be held on the 17th at 8 am and 1 pm.

Shamrock Baseball Drops Heartbreaker to South Harrison
North Harrison dropped a tough one at South Harrison Thursday, battling back and forth before dropping an 8-7 heartbreaker. Playing a schedule loaded with games, with five scheduled for the week and a make-up scheduled for Monday, they went with a patchwork group of pitchers as Tyler Lundy, Timothy Heintz, and Logan Huitt all pitched in the game. They pitched well enough to keep the Shamrocks in the game with a chance to win, but a hitting mistake, a baserunning mistake, and some costly errors did them in.
The Shamrocks had easily won against South Harrison in the jamboree, but it was a totally different lineup that played against them this time; there were 28 players listed for the roster for the purple squad.
North Harrison had a chance for a big inning in the first, but only got one run out of it. Grant Claycomb worked a walk about a six pitch at-bat to start. North Harrison was able to work deep into the count and run up South Harrison’s pitch counts all day. He stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. But on a passed ball situation, South Harrison has a wooden backstop similar to North Nodaway’s, which means the ball can bounce anywhere, either well away from anyone or right back to the catcher. This time, the ball bounced right back to catcher Tyler Daugherty, who picked him off.
Brett Emig restarted North Harrison with a double down the left field line and Logan Craig advanced him to third with a groundout to short – the ball was too slowly hit and Emig got too good of a jump. Collin Castleberry walked on a 3-2 pitch and stole second, and Timothy Heintz singled to shallow left to score Emig to tie it at 1-1. But Collin Castleberry, off with the crack of the bat with two outs, made a reasonable try to score from second and was thrown out at the plate to end the inning.
It looked like an easy inning for Lundy on the mound at first, as he made two pitches and got two outs to start the game. Kinser Corbett singled to right and then Blake Thomas hit one up the middle that was snagged by shortstop Timothy Heintz. Corbett, off with the pitch, was still forced out at second and Heintz threw to first to complete the 6-3 double play. But then South Harrison teed off on Lundy for the rest of the inning as the next four batters all reached safely. Singles by Cody Weller and Payton Gentry, a walk to Marshall Norris, a wild pitch that took a crazy bounce off the wooden board that plated Weller, a first and third steal by Norris that turned into a run when catcher Lane Huitt’s throw hit the bag, and a double in the gap by Daugherty made it 3-1 after one.
The game threatened to turn into a track meet in the second, as North Harrison got the runs right back. Lane Huitt worked a 10-pitch walk, fouling off pitch after pitch from Gentry before getting on base to help open the floodgates. Tyler Lundy popped out, but Samuel Mejia singled to left. South Harrison tried to cut off the throw home and nail Mejia at second, but the ball got away and Mejia went all the way to third. Lane Huitt laid down a perfect bunt down the third base line and beat it out and stole second. Grant Claycomb popped out to second, but Brett Emig singled in two to put North Harrison up 4-3.
South Harrison got two runs in the bottom of the second as Zaine Glenn reached on a bad hop single past short. Jake Starmer forced Glenn at second, but Kinser Corbett singled to left to put runners on first and third. Corbett stole second and Blake Thomas hit a deep fly ball to left field. Grant Claycomb made a great over the shoulder catch; Starmer scored on the play, but that catch prevented a big inning. Cody Weller hit a high chopper; shortstop Timothy Heintz’s view was partially blocked by the base umpire and he was played by the hop as Corbett scored to make it 5-4 and put South Harrison back in front.
An unusual play happened next as Payton Gentry foul tipped it, but since catcher Lane Huitt caught the tip, it was a live ball and Cody Weller was able to successfully steal second. Had it dropped foul, he would not have been able to steal second. It didn’t affect the game as Gentry subsequently grounded out to Heintz to end the inning.
With one out, Timothy Heintz doubled into the left field corner and Lane Huitt flied out to right to move him over to third. Tyler Lundy walked and stole second and Samuel Mejia got his second hit, singling to drive in Heintz to tie it up at 5-5.
The defenses settled down as Timothy Heintz for North Harrison and Kinser Corbett for South Harrison came on in relief and restored order. North Harrison nearly got out of the fourth unscathed, but shortstop Grant Claycomb bobbled a grounder with two outs and Kinser Corbett reached safely. The fastest man on the team, Corbett stole second and came home on Blake Thomas’ single to put South Harrison in front 6-5.
Lane Huitt showed some opportunistic baserunning in the fifth as North Harrison tied it back up at 6-6. He walked to start the inning and Tyler Lundy flied out. Huitt stole second and third and then Sam Mejia grounded out to Corbett on the mound. Huitt took off with Corbett’s throw and was safe at home on a close play to tie it up at 6-6.
South Harrison moved back in front 7-6 in the bottom of the fifth after Heintz gave way to Logan Huitt since North Harrison was saving up their pitchers for their home tournament Saturday as much as possible. Tyler Daugherty walked, went to second on a wild pitch, and scored on Braydon Sunderman’s double into the left center field gap. Sunderman went to third on a wild pitch, but Zaine Glenn’s fly ball to Tyler Lundy in left was not deep enough to score him, and Daniel Karns grounded to Grant Claycomb at second. It was a close play and the South Harrison dugout was calling him safe, but the base umpire did not appreciate being told what the call was and called him out for the third out.
North Harrison tied it right back up again as Brett Emig reached after shortstop Cody Weller bobbled a grounder. Emig stole second and third and then came home on Collin Castleberry’s fly ball to center to tie it at 7-7.
South Harrison missed a chance to go ahead in the bottom of the sixth. Kinser Corbett walked and Blake Thomas’ bunt moved him over, but a strong throw from pitcher Logan Huitt to first baseman Logan Craig got Thomas out for the first out. Cody Weller got an intentional pass, and then Payton Gentry struck out and the ball got away from catcher Lane Huitt as both Corbett and Weller took off. But the intentional walk on North Harrison’s part paid off. Since first base was occupied and there was less than two out, Gentry was automatically out and Huitt alertly recovered the ball and threw to third as Corbett was out stealing.
North Harrison had a chance to go up in the seventh, as Lane Huitt reached on an error as the second baseman’s throw was in the dirt. Once again, Huitt showed opportunistic baserunning as he caught the South Harrison players napping, stealing second and third. Tyler Lundy worked a 3-2 count and drew a walk to set up a first and third play. It looked like a big inning for the Shamrocks, but it backfired in the worst possible way. Samuel Mejia swung at the pitch as Lundy was taking off for second and popped out into a triple play to second. Lundy was doubled off first as he could not get back in time. Huitt broke for home with the lead run when South Harrison threw to first, but was out on a close play for the third out.
Marshall Norris led off the South Harrison seventh and hit a shot into the hole at short. Shortstop Timothy Heintz’s throw was wild, but Norris would have beaten it anyway. Jaren VanMeter pinch ran for Norris and was picked off first by pitcher Logan Huitt and VanMeter was caught in a rundown. But first baseman Logan Craig’s throw to second was wild and VanMeter was safe with the winning run in scoring position with nobody out. The Shamrocks nearly got out of the inning as Tyler Daugherty grounded out to Grant Claycomb. Braydon Sunderman went after the first pitch and popped it up into shallow right to Grant Claycomb. It was too shallow to score VanMeter, but with two outs, Zaine Glenn shot a single past Collin Castleberry at third to give South Harrison the walkoff win.
The Shamrocks had easily won against South Harrison in the jamboree, but it was a totally different lineup that played against them this time; there were 28 players listed for the roster for the purple squad.
North Harrison had a chance for a big inning in the first, but only got one run out of it. Grant Claycomb worked a walk about a six pitch at-bat to start. North Harrison was able to work deep into the count and run up South Harrison’s pitch counts all day. He stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. But on a passed ball situation, South Harrison has a wooden backstop similar to North Nodaway’s, which means the ball can bounce anywhere, either well away from anyone or right back to the catcher. This time, the ball bounced right back to catcher Tyler Daugherty, who picked him off.
Brett Emig restarted North Harrison with a double down the left field line and Logan Craig advanced him to third with a groundout to short – the ball was too slowly hit and Emig got too good of a jump. Collin Castleberry walked on a 3-2 pitch and stole second, and Timothy Heintz singled to shallow left to score Emig to tie it at 1-1. But Collin Castleberry, off with the crack of the bat with two outs, made a reasonable try to score from second and was thrown out at the plate to end the inning.
It looked like an easy inning for Lundy on the mound at first, as he made two pitches and got two outs to start the game. Kinser Corbett singled to right and then Blake Thomas hit one up the middle that was snagged by shortstop Timothy Heintz. Corbett, off with the pitch, was still forced out at second and Heintz threw to first to complete the 6-3 double play. But then South Harrison teed off on Lundy for the rest of the inning as the next four batters all reached safely. Singles by Cody Weller and Payton Gentry, a walk to Marshall Norris, a wild pitch that took a crazy bounce off the wooden board that plated Weller, a first and third steal by Norris that turned into a run when catcher Lane Huitt’s throw hit the bag, and a double in the gap by Daugherty made it 3-1 after one.
The game threatened to turn into a track meet in the second, as North Harrison got the runs right back. Lane Huitt worked a 10-pitch walk, fouling off pitch after pitch from Gentry before getting on base to help open the floodgates. Tyler Lundy popped out, but Samuel Mejia singled to left. South Harrison tried to cut off the throw home and nail Mejia at second, but the ball got away and Mejia went all the way to third. Lane Huitt laid down a perfect bunt down the third base line and beat it out and stole second. Grant Claycomb popped out to second, but Brett Emig singled in two to put North Harrison up 4-3.
South Harrison got two runs in the bottom of the second as Zaine Glenn reached on a bad hop single past short. Jake Starmer forced Glenn at second, but Kinser Corbett singled to left to put runners on first and third. Corbett stole second and Blake Thomas hit a deep fly ball to left field. Grant Claycomb made a great over the shoulder catch; Starmer scored on the play, but that catch prevented a big inning. Cody Weller hit a high chopper; shortstop Timothy Heintz’s view was partially blocked by the base umpire and he was played by the hop as Corbett scored to make it 5-4 and put South Harrison back in front.
An unusual play happened next as Payton Gentry foul tipped it, but since catcher Lane Huitt caught the tip, it was a live ball and Cody Weller was able to successfully steal second. Had it dropped foul, he would not have been able to steal second. It didn’t affect the game as Gentry subsequently grounded out to Heintz to end the inning.
With one out, Timothy Heintz doubled into the left field corner and Lane Huitt flied out to right to move him over to third. Tyler Lundy walked and stole second and Samuel Mejia got his second hit, singling to drive in Heintz to tie it up at 5-5.
The defenses settled down as Timothy Heintz for North Harrison and Kinser Corbett for South Harrison came on in relief and restored order. North Harrison nearly got out of the fourth unscathed, but shortstop Grant Claycomb bobbled a grounder with two outs and Kinser Corbett reached safely. The fastest man on the team, Corbett stole second and came home on Blake Thomas’ single to put South Harrison in front 6-5.
Lane Huitt showed some opportunistic baserunning in the fifth as North Harrison tied it back up at 6-6. He walked to start the inning and Tyler Lundy flied out. Huitt stole second and third and then Sam Mejia grounded out to Corbett on the mound. Huitt took off with Corbett’s throw and was safe at home on a close play to tie it up at 6-6.
South Harrison moved back in front 7-6 in the bottom of the fifth after Heintz gave way to Logan Huitt since North Harrison was saving up their pitchers for their home tournament Saturday as much as possible. Tyler Daugherty walked, went to second on a wild pitch, and scored on Braydon Sunderman’s double into the left center field gap. Sunderman went to third on a wild pitch, but Zaine Glenn’s fly ball to Tyler Lundy in left was not deep enough to score him, and Daniel Karns grounded to Grant Claycomb at second. It was a close play and the South Harrison dugout was calling him safe, but the base umpire did not appreciate being told what the call was and called him out for the third out.
