Wednesday, May 9th / Not So Central Westerville ~ Every team, with the exception of one, will end their season with a loss. And sometimes you can swallow a loss a lot easier than others. Tonight was one of those others. After a scoreless top of the first, the Irish found themselves in a quick...
Monday, May 7th / East Dublin ~ A playoff win makes the sun a little warmer, and the breeze a little crisper, and makes the evening go a little nicer. Scioto sent the Irish fans home happy with an exciting 1-0 walk-off victory, their first of the year! It was a pitcher’s duel in every...
Saturday, May 5th / Really Far West Dublin ~ The Irish had a rough week, dropping 3 games by a combined score of 45-5. They didn’t hit, they couldn’t field, and the pitching was less than stellar. Saturday, the team turned a page. In the two games they combined for 19 hits, scored double digits...
Thursday, May 4th / East Dublin ~ Again, rain in the forecast made the game doubtful. And again, the rains came while the host team Irish was warming up. Kilbourne never got off the bus. They sat on the bus and in fact were getting on another bus in anticipation of returning home when the...
Thursday, May 3rd / East Dublin ~ It didn’t even look like the game would take place with thunderstorms in the forecast all day. The rains finally did come while both teams were warming up, but ended just as quickly as they started, and was just enough to knock the dust down and make the...
Monday, April 30th / East Dublin ~ The highlights for the evening came from the JV field, who battled back and forth to the bitter end, dropping a tough one run game in extra innings. The varsity squad found themselves in a 5-0 hole in after the top of the 1st and couldn’t muster any offense...
Tuesday, April 30th/ East Dublin ~ Tuesday night saw Scioto’s last regular season single home game, a tribute to their seniors and a head nod and small floral gesture to the three Thomas Worthington seniors as well. The night also witnessed another big win at the hands of a Worthington team. It was indeed Senior...
Monday, April 29th/ Way out in western Hilliard ~ Things seemed to have turned the corner for the Irish 9, their energy was back, their bats were back, the defense was solid and for the second game in a row they were scoring runs… But as it turned out, it wasn’t enough as the Jaguars...
Saturday, April 28th / Fredericktown ~ Apparently, I was wrong. The weather has NOT broken, and we find ourselves, in late April, back in winter mode again in central Ohio. With the high temperature reaching only 46 (yes Madison, I checked again) visiting Scioto scored a couple of late inning runs to beat the non-league...
Thursday, April 26th / South Central Worthington ~ The weather appears to have finally broken in our favor, and Mother Nature smiled on the softball field tonight, and it was a great night for softball, and dime-a-dog night at Cardinal Field. The Scioto Irish rained on Thomas Worthington’s senior night, defeating the Cardinals by a...
