outright SVC title with a win over West Fault tonight
twelve to five. Talking to Lucas Euler here. First, Lucas,
is your senior year. You guys won the title back
your sophomore year. But this year, you guys, it's got
to be special for you.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Oh yeah, I mean senior year. It's your last sport
ever in high school. So you know, going out winning
the league, I mean super special to do. I mean
your last chance to do it, so it really means
a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You wrapped it up tonight. But last Thursday you had
a big win over there Uni Yodo is two nothing
and nine innings. You had a big two two RBI
double there to have all the scoring.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
What was that feeling like last Thursday?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I mean it was it was electric. I mean, you know,
extra ending game against your rival means probably the league. Yeah,
it was amazing, I mean super happy, super happy I
could do for my guys. I mean that was awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, congratulations on the SVC title. Next up, who do
we got here? Grady Stewart Grady h. I tell you what,
you plays it or had some nice plays in the
field here tonight. And again you had a nice hit.
I believe a RBI double here tonight. And uh, you know,
three ports, three sport player, football, basketball, baseball, no breaks
(01:26):
for you. Uh, and you finally get a title here
in your senior year of your baseball season.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Yeah, it feels really good.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I mean, like like I said earlier, football and basketball
just came up short, and especially just coming out here
and beating you know, to both times.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And uh, it.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Sucks we lost to a Dina first game as we see,
but is what it is. Come out with the league
and it feels amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You you these two guys here I want to talk
to next. They were the pitchers here tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Uh. But again you talk about your your players.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It seems like each night somebody steps up, and that's
gotta be a good thing for baseball.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, definitely, especially when we start out in our top lineups.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Not hint too well.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
I feel like our bottom line up especially comes through
like usually comes through. And once they start hitting, everyone
starts hitting. And I think it's gonna be hard to stop.
Once we all start hitting.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So well, congratulations tonight, and best luck as you move
forward in the district. Play next up here, Gunner mccallaugh, gunner,
starter here tonight you win four inning. He's probably not
one of your best outings. Probably you're not gonna be
happy with, but again, it was enough to get this
team over the hump, to get them started tonight.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Yeah, I knew coming into this game West Fall, they're
a really good hitting team. They hunt fastballs, so that
kind of kind of heard us. There was the third
or fourth inning.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, the first couple winnings.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Got out of a.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Crunch there a couple of times, but I mean coming
in throwing, I had a good mindset, kept my composure, No,
came in, finished the job, got it done, got the win.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I have to play tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You had some solid shots as well, and I'll tell
you what, You've made a great play there in the
seventh any going after that ball in center field looked
like it they caught you a little off garden. You
were able to go get it.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Yeah, I knew I was getting close to the fence
because I harsh center field. That hump once you get
out there till like ten foot away from it, it
starts to go uphill when I felt like I was
running up hill there for solid two seconds and I
knew I was getting close, but I knew I could
get it. Even if I got to the fence, I
could have jumped and got it, but I got there
(03:33):
just in time. I saw it good off the bat
as the main thing sun, I mean, it's shining. I
was blocking it with my hand for the pitch, so
thankfully I was doing that well.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Again in the spring of your senior year, you get
an SVC title. You had great careers in football in basketball,
but here you get a title here to wrap things up.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yes, basketball really hurt, losing to Unia twice after we
had a great game at their place and lost the lead.
But winning that game last week really really felt, really
felt good. And then obviously winning today outright winning the league.
I mean, that's highlight of my sports year, I'd say,
(04:11):
and I'm just excited to see what we can go
do in tournaments.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
All right, Well, congratulations on your SVT title and best
luck in the tournaments. And we got Noah Kaiser coming in. Noah.
You know, looking at for pitching status, you don't have
a lot of innings, but it seems like you're on
the mound quite a bit, and.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I guess you're sort of the pseudo closer for this team.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah, I just I know I don't th hard.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
I just got to go in, throw strikes on my defense,
make plays because I don't have a lot of innings,
but I have a lot of games pitch.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I know that.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
So as long as I go in and throw strikes
like I try to do, usually good things happen.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And good thing my starter set me up in good
spots a lot of the time. Sto.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, that first inning you came in, I think you
only threw three pitches or five pitches to get three outs.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It was great, But you.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And Mason I called you guys sort of the table setters.
You guys get on base and you get run for
this team. Let those guys knock you in, talk about
you know what you do for this team at the
top of the lineup.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
So we know we have two really good power hitters
back to back of Lucas and Gunner. So if we
get on base, we know there's a good shot they're
gonna hit us in. So we just got to get
on base. However it takes getting hit by pitch, walk,
base hit air, whatever it takes. Just get on base
and let them do their job hit us in.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
All Right, your senior year, you get an SVC title
here in the spring. That's something that's got to be great.
They're feeling for you.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Yeah, it's the first one in any sport for me.
I play basketball too, and I wish we could have
got it this year, but we didn't. But now that
we get in baseball, it feels amazing. It's everything I
would have thought of. Honestly, it's just amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
How was that water they got you with air at
the end.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Oh, I'm soaked. I can't wait to go get in
the shower.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
All right, Well, congratulations the best selecting to tournaments. All right,
that's Noah Kaiser And again those were the seniors.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Here for hisz A. Trace as they wrap up their league.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Title tonight with the win over west Fall twelve to five.
I'm now with the head coach on Allen of Zane
Trace baseball. Coach, you wrap up the league title tonight
here with the win over Westfall twelve to five. West
Fall gave you a game there and that you guys
scored four runs in the bottom of the third, but
they answered right back. But your team was just able
to come through at the end.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Our league this year was very good as far as
any any team could be. Anybody given nice because everybody's
got a couple of arms we could throw. And we
started out two and four this year and lost our
first league game, and the kids, you know, saddled it
up after that happened. And if we won our last
twelve league games or whatever and been playing pretty good baseball,
(06:36):
we have lost two non league games in that stretch.
But you know, I can't say anything more about the seniors.
For seniors good leadership and and a lot of my
younger kids who've been around the program for a long time,
you know what the expectations are, and those kids came
through when it mattered.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well again, you get to win tonight to wrap it up,
but I'm gonna go to the last Thursday.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I didn't get a chance to talk to you after
the game.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
But that was a heck of a win on the
road at Unioto two nothing, nine innings. Your pitcher, Pierce
Man's did a great job for nine innings, And talk
a little bit about him.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Yeah, he's a you know, d one recruit and he's
only a junior, and you know, he's got a great arm.
We decided not to throw him tonight because he throwing
Monday and Thursday both, so we thought he needed a
little more rest. And he's all through Wednesday, and the
gunner gunner mccaullay came back and after throwing Friday seventy
pitches through well tonight for four innings, he said he
(07:29):
could do it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So did a good job at Pierce.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
You know, as you know, he's got a huge future,
you know, in front of him, and you know you
don't want to throw his arm out in high score
or whatever, so you know, but he threw well. And
the kid from Uniota threw well. I mean, he threw
a great game. Also, we never hit him for some reason.
He's got a good twelve six curveball. But yeah, I
was I was a great high school baseball game. I
just said that even if we lost, I mean, it
was a great game, and wanted to take a nine
(07:53):
innings and he took me an hour forty five instant.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I was on earlier. My wife was like, what
are you doing here?
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Yes, quick game, and that's we like to play.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
We like to play quick games. Well, coach, you wrap
up the league.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You got one more league game on Wednesday, but then
you got a couple of weeks of non league games.
What do you do with those non league games to
get to prepare them for the tournament?
Speaker 8 (08:12):
We you know, we play a good non league schedule.
When you know, we got Circles on tomorrow and I
were going up here to play, and they got Python
on Wednesday. The next week we got Wheelersburg, Menford, Miami.
Tracey has got a good team this year. You know,
try to get you know, games to get us prepared
for tournament. We get to it and all those schools
are you know, mostly bigger than we are, and go
see good pitching and stuff. Was their leagues are over
(08:32):
with too, So just to get ready to go for
the tournament and just play good competition. That's what we'd
always do non league. We don't play you know, automatics.
That's probably what we're three and five non legas year
or whatever. But yeah, I mean playing good teams, good
programs as work will get you better, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
