BROWNSTOWN/ST. ELMO
Baseball

The Bombers closed the regular season with a walk-off victory last Friday against Ramsey.

Sophomore Malachi Maxey roped an RBI double in the bottom of the seventh to score senior Dustin Lawson from first base to give Brownstown/St. Elmo a 2-1 victory.

Maxey had not recorded a hit since April 29.

Offense was otherwise hard to come by for either team, as the team’s pitchers combined to allow seven hits and four walks.

BSE senior Jacob Behrends earned the win in relief, striking out five over the final two innings, and Ramsey’s Brady Reiss took the loss after 6 1/3 innings.

Ramsey’s Devon Mercer double, and Waylon Davis drove home a run.

BSE (15-9) scored an unearned run in the bottom of the first.

Three hits were enough for the Lady Rams last Thursday in a 2-1 win against Dieterich, giving the team back-to-back wins for the second time this season.

Moreland allowed just two hits from the pitcher’s circle in picking up her eighth win of the season for Ramsey (9-18). She struck out seven and walked one.

Senior Danie Austin extended her hitting streak to eight games and St. Elmo/Brownstown beat Mulberry Grove 10-6 last Friday in a rain-shorted contest.

Austin had a pair of singles for the Lady Eagles (15-14), who rallied from a 6-5 deficit with five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, and has hit in nine of the past 10 games.

Freshman Morgan Brown paced the offense with three hits, two RBI and three runs, and senior Bethany Oberlink added a two-run double.

SEB won the season series between the teams 2-1, losing in the championship game of the Egyptian-Illini Conference Tournament, but winning the regular-season EIC game.

South Central closed the regular season with a big win on Monday, and another Noah Powless homer.

Powless’ two-run shot came as part of a six-run fourth, and the Cougars fended off a late Flora rally for a 6-5 victory.

The long ball gives Powless a home run in five of the past six games, and he has 19 RBI in that same span.

Sophomore Gavin Ratermann had a two-run single in the inning, and senior Kyle Bray had an RBI double for the Cougars (10-15).

Powless (3-4) picked up the win in relief, striking out six in four innings of work.

Noah Powless hit his fifth home run in the past five games last Friday, giving him 17 RBI in the same span, as South Central walloped Dieterich, 12-2.

Powless, a junior, has nearly tripled his RBI count since this power streak began on May 3 in the final game of the Centralia Tournament.

Senior Tyler Ross also homered in the game, and struck out eight in a complete game from the mound for his second win of the season.

The Cougars (9-15) got a two-run single by sophomore Dre Hill in the bottom of the sixth inning to end the game early on the run-rule.
