By Justin Sokeland on May 17, 2013 in

Box score

JASONVILLE – Class A No.6 Shakamak smacked Bedford North Lawrence 10-1 on Thursday night.

The Lakers (19-2) scored six runs in the fifth to pull away from the Stars (10-13).

“We just didn’t have it tonight,” BNL coach Jerry Chaney said. “It’s a good thing it only counts as one loss. They’re very good and we didn’t play our best game.”

Shakamak took a 2-0 lead in the second on Luke Sweet’s two-run double. BNL countered with its only run in the third as Tanner Tow drove in Dillon Hensley with a two-out single.

But the Lakers scored single runs in the third (Braxton Yeryar’s sacrifice fly) and fourth (Brett Yeryar’s sacrifice fly), then broke away in the fifth with four hits and two walks. Brodie Crowe’s two-run double to left-center was the big blow.

BNL collected only five hits against Brett Yeryar, who struck out 8. Hensley and Tow had two hits apiece.

Crowe and Sweet both had two hits for the Lakers.

BOYS GOLF: South clips BNL by four shots

By Justin Sokeland on May 15, 2013 in

BLOOMINGTON – Bedford North Lawrence still has work to do on the course that will stage the sectional.

The Stars returned to the Indiana University course on Tuesday afternoon and posted a team total of 348, falling four shots shy of Bloomington South in an 18-hole match.

Trey Turner paced BNL with an 85 while Lucas Fisher and Caleb Thorne had 86s. South’s Sam Karcher was the medalist with an 81 while Drew Turnbull posted an 82.

“For some reason Trey and Zakry (Cummings, with a 93) did not play well,” BNL coach Mike Wright said. “Trey, to his credit, parred five of the last six holes to salvage some type of score. Caleb and Lucas played pretty well, and both of them could have a breakout round before the end.

“We said at  the beginning we are going to have some rounds where we think we can put a run together. And then there are others, like tonight, when you just say ‘We can play better.’”

 

BLOOMINGTON SOUTH 344, BNL 348

South – Nick Elliott 93, Sam Karcher 81, Nick Burris 88, Drew Turnbull 82, Ben Dawson 99, Zach Walters 93.

BNL – Trey Turner 85, Zakry Cummings 93, Lucas Fisher 86, Caleb Thorne 86, Alex Crane 96, Jake McFadden 91

Bedford North Lawrence won a pair of three-set matches but still dropped a 3-2 decision to Martinsville in the regular-season finale on the BNL courts Tuesday afternoon.

Schylar Hewitt needed nearly three hours to fight off Niki Hart 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (7-4 in the tiebreaker) at No.3 singles.

“I always say, when things are even, Schylar is going to win,” BNL coach Joni Stigall said. “It was just when she was going to do it. She was worn out, but she played well.”

BNL also went the distance at No.2 doubles. Nicole Backherms and Lauren Mitchell dropped the first set, then rallied for a 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Cheyenne Bentley and Hannah Hartzler.

“They finally figured out their opponents,” Stigall said. “They had to fight hard, and they did a good job.”

The Artesians dominated the top two singles spots as Abby Kirkman topped Hannah Yeary 6-1, 6-1 at No.1 while Krista Swafford downed Hannah Pritchett 6-1, 6-2, at No.2. The other Martinsville win was a tough one at No.1 doubles as Morgan Barker and Katie Kirkman clipped Miley Nikirk and Mollie Bond 7-5, 7-5.

BNL will compete in the sectional at Bloomington North on Friday.
