Scholarship run nets $5K for local college students Pomeroyʼs dilemma: Finding funds for pay raises BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RACINE — A fire which damaged a Racine home on Monday has been ruled arson, according to a spokesperson from Ohio’s Division of State Fire Marshal.

Cartmill said it was his understanding no one was home at the time of the fire though the structure is occupied. Room of origin of the fire is reportedly on the second floor and damage was contained to the second floor and attic — the first floor was not 2004. All four men were friends with each other, and with the run’s organizers, and the non-profit group is now pleased this legacy of friendship is helping students who need assistance with college expenses. This year’s run was the biggest yet — both in terms of participation and funds raised, according to Jessica Jeffers. She said the group hopes to contin- damaged, according to Cartmill. A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered by the Division of State Fire Marshal for information leading to the identification of the person or persons responsible for the fire. A fire, later determined to be arson, occurred around two years ago at a neighboring home located at 309 ue holding fundraisers until at least $7,000 is generated for this year’s scholarship drive. The run honors four men who died in 2004: Jeff “Sluggo” Glass, John Holsinger, Tim Michael, and Jimmy Lee. Jeffers said the run also honors other bike enthusiasts who have shared the road with organizers, but said it specifically honors those four men. The run began and ended at Sonny’s in Pomeroy. Jeffers said Sonny Gloeckner has been a strong supporter of the run. It is too late for students to apply for scholarship funds for the year, but guidance counselors at Eastern, Meigs, Southern and Wahama high schools have application information for students for next year’s program.

POMEROY — There are children in our own backyard who need positive adult role-models, and Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is striving to match three of them living in the Pomeroy area with caring and supportive volunteer “Bigs.” That is the word from Jamey Bouwmeester, director of the BBBS agency which serves families in Athens, Meigs, Vinton and Washington Counties. The mission of the agency, said the director, is to “match every enrolled child with a volunteer Big Brother, Big Sister, or Big Couple who commits to spending 1-2 hours a week with a child for a minimum of one year.” The agency has recently begun a focused initiative on children who have lost a parent to incarceration. He noted that In Ohio, an estimated 56,000 children have one or both parents incarcerated at the state or federal level. Most of these children live in a single-parent household, with a grandparent or relative, or in a foster home, and are qui- etly struggling with the loss of a parent due to criminal behavior. In explaining the program Eric Long, who is a “match specialist” for BBBS, believes a positive adult mentor can help mitigate the instability and hardships children endure when a primary caregiver is in prison. “The families we serve are doing the best they can, but it is very challenging to provide positive activities and opportunities for kids or grandchildren when you are living below the poverty line. We want to provide each Little Brother or Little Sister with a rolemodel who is trained to help the child cope with having a parent in jail,” said Long. Children ages five to 17 are served through the agency. Three children from the Pomeroy area are on the current waiting-to-be matched list. Two of them, a five year old girl and her nine year old brother live with an elderly grandmother. Long described the girl as being “very talkative and needing a Big Sister who can be a patient sounding board for her big ideas See Volunteers, A5 See Arson, A5 BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — The finance committee of Pomeroy Village Council recently met to review finances in the hopes of finding enough funds to give raises to village employees — an amendment to the current pay scale ordinance needs only one more reading and vote to pass. Committee members were in agreement that employees deserved a raise considering the cost of living but figuring out what to cut in order to find the funds could be tricky, though necessary. Committee members met with ClerkTreasurer Kathy Hysell who prepared several financial reports. Hysell presented committee members with some of the following information regarding the village’s finances.

Residents will remember that Karla Sanders of AmeriCorps spent over a year here working on a program dealing with the stewardship of the Leading Creek Watershed Project. Her project ended with the publication of a book of citizen stories about the damage to Leading Creek and the efforts at restoration which are ongoing. Again the SWCD is partnering with Rural Action to host another AmeriCorps member to work out of its Pomeroy office. AmeriCorps is a national service program sponsored by the Corporation for National & Community Service and the Ohio Community Service Council.

Nearly 175 walkers registered, and although the team count was down, Terry Eller, Community Director of March of Dimes, is still happy with the turn out. “I know of at least five teams we missed this year, but despite that, we saw that fundraising can come in all sizes, and that effort is key,” Eller stated. “Team size is important, but now always crucial.” A total of about $33,500 (money is still coming in) was raised this year. Coming in as the top team was AEP who raised over $6,000. The second place team was GKN who brought in $3,200, and the Gallia County Board of Development and Disability (Guiding Hand School) came in third place with over $2,600 collected. “We have so many people, businesses and organizations to thank, and behalf of all babies, I want to thank everyone, including the sponsors, volunteers and fundraising teams who have all gone above and beyond my expectations this year,” Eller stated. The director additionally thanked the event’s national sponsor, K-Mart, whose individual team raised $1,000 on Sunday. The top two teams of AEP and GKN also are big sponsors of the walk. Eller also thanked the following for making the function run smoothly on Sunday and for their donations: Peoples Bank, Village Pizza, Papa John’s, WBYG Big Country 99.5 and Pleasant Valley Hospital Auxiliary. “I am so very happy to have such wonderful friends in the Tri-County area and within our March of Dimes family,” Eller said. “They truly make our March of Babies event shine.” Community Calendar Public meetings Wednesday, May 4 POMEROY — Meigs County Board of Health, 5 p.m., health department conference room.

Holzer Medical Center participating in nursing board study GALLIPOLIS — Holzer Medical CenterGallipolis and Holzer Medical Center-Jackson have been chosen to participate in an innovative multi-site Transition to Practice Study focusing on newly licensed registered nurses. This study is designed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) to evaluate the impact an interactive online orientation program will have on patient safety and quality outcomes when added to normal hospital orientation plans. The modules will not include relearning of content already covered in a nursing education program, but are designed to focus on experiential and active learning of concepts integral to hospital nursing. In this first phase, the Transition to Practice Study will follow newly licensed registered nurses hired to work in hospital settings during their first year of employment. Throughout the year, the newly hired nurses will participate in interactive, online transition to practice modules, work oneon-one with a preceptor, and receive institutional support from their hospital, which may include being invited to serve on committees to examine healthcare processes. By providing this support, nurses are encouraged to reflect upon the care they have provided and to suggest quality improvements. Holzer Medical Center-Gallipolis will have their current Nurse Educator function as a site coordinator. Joey Miller, RN, CRRN, ONC will assist with implementing the program and monitoring the progress of the new graduates. At Holzer Medical Center -Jackson, Penny Roberts, RN, BSN, Inpatient Nurse Manager, assumes that role. These individuals will also submit data electronically to researchers at NCSBN. The data will measure actual patient outcomes, such as infection rates, patient falls, patient satisfaction, as well as new nurse competencies, job satisfaction and stress. Glenda Skinner, MS, RN, CPHQ indicates The Transition to Practice Study is a true collaboration with support from the Ohio Board of Nursing, the Ohio Organization of Nurse Executives, and clinical settings at individual Hospitals. Their focus blends well with and support’s Holzer Medical Center’s own efforts to provide the new graduate with a more extensive orientation to enable new graduates to assume the Registered Nurse role in a hospital setting. “NCSBN has been working on transition to practice for more than 10 years,” said Maryann Alexander, PhD, RN, Chief Officer, Nursing Regulation, NCSBN. “Evidence shows that transition to practice programs protect patients and the public, which is the very mission of state boards of nursing and NCSBN. We are excited to embark on this study and the data collected will have a great impact on the future of nursing.” The Transition to Practice Study only accepted applications to participate from Illinois, North Carolina, and Ohio. Within Ohio 68 hospitals have been selected to participate in Phase I of the study. For more information on how Holzer will be contributing to the Transition to Practice Study, please contact Glenda Skinner, MS, RN, CPHQ, Director of Performance Improvement.

B RO T H E R S Moving out of childhood Dear Dr. Brothers: When my wife and I first got married, about 10 years ago, her parents decided to buy a condo, and gave us a really good deal on their house. It’s the house my wife grew up in, and she was ecstatic about us raising a family there. Now we have a really great opportunity to move into a bigger house with our three kids, but she gets very weird when I bring it up. It seems she might be a little too attached to this house. Is this normal? — B.D. Dear B.D.: It seems normal and a little sad, but it’s something you can cope with if you approach your wife with sensitivity. She has never lived anywhere else, and now the home has so many more memories than before because of her life there with you and your children. The fact that her parents were kind and generous enough to help you buy the home also might be figuring into her reluctance to move. She doesn’t want it to look as though you both are ungrateful and either anger or hurt her parents by rejecting this great gift. If this is what is bothering her, the best idea would be to talk to her parents about your situation and ask their advice. If they feel they are in the loop, they are much less likely to take offense. They might enjoy helping you make a decision, and true to their generous nature, even might offer to help with the next house! Your wife’s feelings of sentimentality about her childhood home may be harder to deal with. Perhaps making sure you have plenty of pictures and videos of all her times there — you can put them on the Web or on CDs and DVDs for her, the grandparents and the children to keep — it might make it easier for her to move on. In any case, an understanding and sympathetic attitude from you will be the best approach. If she feels you are impatient or dismissive of her feelings about her home, it only will make things worse. So try as hard as you can to understand her emotions. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m a 36-year-old man who has long since gotten over the whole “being given up for adoption” thing. I really put the whole business behind me in my mid-20s. Now, out of the blue, I get this email from my biological dad. He told me this whole story about why he gave me up for adoption, how my mother died many Dr. Joyce Brothers years ago — really heavy stuff. He says he wants to meet, but I really don’t know if I want to open this door. Any advice? — W.T. Dear W.T.: What a surprise to receive an email from your biological father! I suppose with the Internet, it is inevitable that many people on both ends of the adoption process will be hearing from each other even if they have made peace with the process, as you have. Now you must decide whether to open that door and the can of worms that may come with it, or keep everything in its tidy place in your psyche. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to really accept all the things you have told yourself throughout the years in order to make peace and move on. Having a loving family helps, and being in your 30s helps, but you are in a difficult place if you stoically insist that it doesn’t matter. Opening up under these circumstances is a scary proposition. You seem unmoved by your biological dad’s story and his plea. It is very natural to have mixed feelings about such an approach — although his excuses may be valid, the child inside you will have a hard time accepting that any reason is good enough to have been given away. You are bound to have feelings of anger, even though you project indifference.

BY MARTHA IRVINE ASSOCIATED PRESS First there were a few cheers. Then, as news that Osama bin Laden was dead beamed from TV screens around them, the crowd at a campus bar erupted. For once, Alyssa Pupino thought, she was in the right place at the right time. “I really don’t think I would’ve felt more American if there was a slice of apple pie sitting right in front of me,” says the junior at Ohio State University. They partied Sunday night at Ohio State and Notre Dame and Stanford and many other campuses, rejoicing in the death of the man who claimed responsibility for the greatest act of mass murder on American soil. Students from George Washington University joined the throng chanting “USA! USA!” outside the White House. Commentators and others cast bin Laden’s death as a defining moment for young Americans who grew up in the shadow of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, nearly a decade ago. On Twitter, someone posted a link to a photo of celebrations at the University of Delaware and called it an “intense sense of closure for people who were frightened little kids in ‘01.” But it was also, to be truthful, an excuse to party and let loose for a few hours. Sean Morrow, a senior at Clark University in Massachusetts, watched with fascination as his friends’ Facebook pages lit up with photos and status updates from various impromptu gatherings on other campuses. “It’s kind of surreal to watch people celebrating someone’s death,” says Morrow, a political science major. But he understands it because, for him and many others his age, bin Laden was their boogeyman, “the main negative person of our generation.” Add to that the news broke late at night — and that many college students are finishing up exams and ready to blow off steam — and the stage was set for revelry, he says. A defining moment? Perhaps, he and others say, because they say they will always remember where they were when they heard the news. But some — even a number of young people themselves — are doubtful that it will shape them in the way that, say, the death of JFK molded baby boomers. “It now becomes part of the narrative of 9/11. But there’s little to lead us to believe that this will be the watershed moment for them that we might like it to be,” says Alexander Riley, a cultural sociologist at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania. “They’re treating this news item like they’re treating other news items.” And that is with an intensity, in the moment, but also a quickness to move on to the next topic. Richard Laermer, a publicist in New York who tracks youth trends, calls events like these “bolts from the blue,” which resonate until the next hot topic arises. “Twitter was all about Osama bin Laden until 5 a.m. (Monday) when suddenly the hottest topic was the rap singer Drake, who has a new duet out,” says Laermer, author of the book “2011: Trendspotting for the Next Decade.” “I think we like to give them credit for something. I think they swagger and make these great statements,” Laermer continues. But in the end, he likened the scene outside the White House more to “Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve” than a serious reaction. Pupino, the Ohio State student, knows what he means.

Early Monday, dozens of students jumped into a campus lake, as they often do after games. “But I think a lot of them were sober this time,” Pupino says, chuckling. “It was a different type of joy,” more like the elation many students felt when President Obama was elected. There are those who say that bin Laden’s death may help them move on. “I do think it’s brought renewed hope that we are no longer reeling from the events of 9/11,” says Amanda Guisbond, a 25-year-old Boston resident who works in public relations. But as much as we like to paint this generation of young people with a broad brush, their reactions are as mixed as any other American’s. Some talk about relief and unity. Still others worry about retaliation from other terrorists. If there is a common thread, many young people say they understand the significance of bin Laden’s death — defining or not — better than they may have understood Sept. 11, when many of today’s college students were still in elementary school. “This moment is different for me, at least. I know much more now than I did back then, and I know now that when something like that happens, you don’t just go back to life as you did before,” says Liz Martinez, a senior at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. “We shouldn’t let this moment define us, but let it inspire us to craft a better definition of ourselves.” Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Wait a minute, Doc. You want me to share my appointment with 10 other patients? Group appointments aren’t just for psychotherapy anymore. Put diabetes, high blood pressure and maybe even Parkinson’s disease on the list. Shared checkups aim to help patients who are battling certain chronic diseases, and they’re far from the typical 15-minute office visit. They’re stretched over 90 minutes or even two hours, offering more time to quiz the doctor about concerns, learn about managing the disease — and get tips from fellow patients. What’s in it for the doctor? A neurologist found he learned more about how his Parkinson’s patients were faring by watching them interact with others than when he had them one-on-one. “I can see if you’re getting worse over the course of the visit, your ability to eat, to walk, to converse and to think,” says Dr. Ray Dorsey, who led a pilot study of group checkups for Parkinson’s patients at the University of Rochester Medical Center. “This is a new way of delivering health care,” adds Dorsey, now at Johns Hopkins University. “People are thirsting for better ways.” It’s a small but slowly growing trend that promises to get more attention with the tight supply of primary care physicians, who find it hard to squeeze in time to teach their patients how to deal with complex chronic illnesses like diabetes. An American Academy of Family Physicians survey found more doctors trying the group approach — about 10 percent of its active members in 2009, up from fewer than 6 percent in 2005. Peer pressure among patients helps, says family physician Dr. George Whiddon of Quincy, Fla. He has about 40 diabetic patients divided into groups for shared checkups at Tallahassee Memorial Family Medicine Quincy, and he wants to add more. One woman with uncontrolled diabetes for years confessed to fellow patients that she’d ignored Whiddon’s “eat better, take your meds” advice for too long. Group appointments don’t replace the patient’s annual in-depth physical. But many people with chronic illnesses, especially if they’re not well-controlled, are supposed to have additional follow-up visits about every three months — an opportunity for shared checkups that stress patient education. But how well do these group visits work? Evidence is mixed. An Italian study published last year found that diabetics who took part in them lowered their blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol more than similar patients who got regular individual office visits. A separate study at two Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, in North Carolina and Virginia, tracked people with poorly controlled diabetes and blood pressure and also concluded shared appointments can improve care for some people. Those in group visits significantly improved their blood pressure and needed less emergency care, but there was no difference in diabetes improvement between patients who had shared checkups or regular ones. Parkinson’s marks the newest attempt. Dorsey recruited 30 Parkinson’s patients and assigned half of them to 90-minute group checkups, and the rest to regular private visits that lasted a generous half-hour. During group visits, everyone got a few minutes for private discussion with the doctor. Then Dorsey gave an educational talk about a Parkinson’s topic the patients had previously requested — from the newest research, to why symptoms vary so widely, to how patients cope at work — and took group questions. Medically, both sets of patients fared equally well during the year-long study, showing that group visits are a feasible to offer, Dorsey reported last week in the journal Neurology. What the study couldn’t measure, Dorsey says, was how he watched patients’ interactions for subtle signs that they needed prescriptions adjusted, things like cognitive problems or if medications wore off too quickly. One meeting even devoted 45 minutes to the pros and cons of implanted brain stimulators to curb tremors. More research is needed to determine which patients fare better with group visits, plus they take a lot of doctor preparation, cautions study co-author Dr. Kevin Biglan of the University of Rochester. Medicare will reimburse the doctor for each patient in a shared checkup with proper documentation that the visit includes certain elements, says Florida’s Whiddon. For his office, that means breaking even, as long as at least six people show up for his two-hour diabetes groups.

Funds From Page A1 from 2010 of $102,888.51, last week it was down to around $54,000. The Meigs County Auditor’s Office certified the village can expect revenue in the general fund for 2011 at $2,161,388.77. Last year’s certification was at $2,520,791.06 which means the village will get around $360,000 less this year than in 2010. Hysell explained last year’s certification did include $75,000 from a grant to install water meters which would not be included in 2011; last year’s certification also include $83,000 in inheritance money from unnamed estates. Inheritance money fluctuates from year to year. Also discussed were water system improvement loan payments which are paid bi-annually in the amount of around $20,000 — the next payment is due on July 1. According to Hysell’s figures, the water fund was at around $3,400 with income significantly down. The figures show the water fund is appropriated $421,000 in 2011 but has already spent $128,348.52 — 30.48 percent of its appropriations. Meanwhile, figures show the sewer operating fund has already spent $60,454.54 which is 30.22 percent of its yearly appropriations. Hysell’s figures also show the police fund was appropriated $275,000 for the year based on last year’s roster but with another full-time officer being hired for 2011, these appropriations could go to $295,000. The police department has also been appropriated $54,000 for operating supplies and materials with around $25,000 already spent in 2011. The village has eliminated the street superintendent’s position due to retirement, which will free up around $27,000 for wages. However, Hysell said the village would not see the full benefit of that until next year because the village already paid out at least some of the wages for the position this year until entirely vacated. Hysell’s figures represent a general picture of the village spending an average of $20,000 more a month than it’s currently taking in. The village also has two renewal levies up in the fall, one for fire protection and the other for street lighting. If income doesn’t increase or cuts aren’t made, it’s been discussed at council meetings that a worst-case scenario could mean layoffs for the village whether the wage increases are approved or not. Ohio senator eyes $2.9B in university assets BY JULIE CARR SMYTH ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS — Ohio’s public colleges and universities have combined cash reserves nearing $3 billion, a figure that’s raising new questions about their requests for tuition increases and state aid. Ohio State University leads the pack with $1.2 billion in a type of reserves known as unrestricted net assets, according to a document compiled by Senate Finance Chairman Chris Widener and obtained Monday by The Associated Press. Eleven more universities or colleges are holding more than $50 million in such assets, the document shows. Widener, R-Springfield, told the AP he has met with university presidents and financial officers as well as state Chancellor Jim Petro about his findings. His concern is that some institutions are holding almost a year’s worth of expenses in their accounts, even as state budget writers are poised to allow them to raise tuition by as much as 3.5 percent. “It’s our job as legislators to know the whole picture and to know why they would need increases in tuition and, at the same time, state support when their financial picture seems pretty strong,” he said. “My concern is families that are struggling to pay for college in a tough economic environment.” Officials defended the reserves as a necessary part of their institutions’ financial well-being. Bruce Johnson, executive director of the InterUniversity Council of Ohio, which represents public universities, said unrestricted net assets shouldn’t be misunderstood. “Is there cash on hand at university campuses? The answer is yes,” said Johnson, who has also met with Widener on the issue. “These are, in some cases, multi-billion institutions. If they’re going to meet their payroll, they need cash on hand. Universities are selfinsured. They have to be prepared to pay cancer bills (for sick employees) right out of their pockets. Their liabilities is what’s missing from this picture.” As the state faces an $8 billion budget gap, universities are fighting the perception that their cash reserves could help fill a significant portion of that hole. Johnson said he’s fighting the notion of draining universities’ cash reserves for that purpose because it would set the schools on unsteady financial footing. Such a scenario would require them “to raise and lower tuition on a monthly basis” in order to meet their financial obligations. Geoff Chatas, chief financial officer at Ohio State, said the reserves are part of complex budget calculations at the institution that determine their bond ratings, the interest rates at which they can borrow money and their insurance rates. Chatas said the university is losing $65 million in state aid under the current version of the $55 billion, two-year state budget. A pending tuition increase won’t make up the difference, he said. The university raised tuition 7 percent during the last school year. “We’re moving forward in a financially conservative way to make sure we’re not only strong today but strong for tomorrow as well,” he said. Spokeswoman Claire Wagner at Miami University, which has unrestricted net assets of more than $167 million, said the state requires universities to keep a certain amount of a debt cushion. “When we’re building and we need to borrow, it’s based on confidence that we can pay our debt,” she said. “It really is there to establish a safety factor.” Widener said he’d like to review the debt and income ratios imposed on Ohio’s public colleges and universities in 1997. The requirements were laid out in Senate Bill 6, a response to financial crises at Ohio University and Central State University in the ‘80s and ‘90s that nearly closed the schools. “We’re trying to determine whether we, the Legislature, through Senate Bill 6 over 10 years ago asked them to keep more reserves than is financially necessary to be financially sound,” he said. “We’d like to see how that relates to how much we have going to them in state support, and how much they charge Ohio residents in state tuition.” Bowling Green State University chief financial officer Sheri Stoll said those ratios are used by national accountability organizations, including bond houses and accrediting agencies, to determine fiscal health and make institutional comparisons. “I can’t imagine a senator saying, ‘Why are you financially healthy?’ I don’t know how to answer that,” Stoll said. “Because it’s critical important.” Johnson said Ohio’s institutions are in the middle of the pack nationally. “It’s just not a bunch of wealthy institutions. We are in financially reasonable shape given our long-term obligations,” he said. “Sen. Widener is entitled to ask these questions. But if he has drawn that conclusion, I think the record would reflect that Ohio’s public institutions are well-managed, are reasonably financially sound and do not show excessive reserves.” The dozen institutions with more than $50 million in reserve are Ohio State, Kent State, Miami, Columbus State Community College, Bowling Green, University of Toledo, Sinclair Community College, Ohio University, Cuyahoga Community College, Wright State, University of Akron and Cleveland State. The University of Cincinnati is the only one of 37 institutions with a deficit. Taliban express doubt that bin Laden is dead ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban cast suspicion Tuesday on the announcement of Osama bin Laden’s death, saying they would not believe the al-Qaida leader was dead until they had seen proof or received confirmation from sources close to him. Though U.S. officials have said they confirmed bin Laden’s identity both with face-mapping software and DNA tests, the lack of photos of the body and its burial at sea have raised doubts in Afghanistan and Pakistan that the man who evaded American detection for so long has actually been killed. “This news is only coming from one side, from Obama’s office, and American has not shown any evidence or proof to support this claim,” Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement emailed to journalists. “On the other side, our sources close to Osama bin Laden have not confirmed or denied the news.” “Until there is news from sources close to Osama bin Laden it will be too early to provide any reaction,” the statement said. More than 150 international service members have been killed so far this year in Afghanistan. Wednesday: A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 57.

That was the case for the Eastern softball team on Monday night during a doubleheader split with host Belpre in a pair of Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchups at Civitan Park in Washington County. The visiting Lady Eagles (7-4, 7-3 TVC Hocking) needed 12 innings to defeat BHS in the opener by a 5-4 count, but the Lady Golden Eagles (11-3, 112) countered with a 3-2 win in the nightcap after a walk-off homer in the bottom of the eighth inning. Game one was a continuation of a contest that started at EHS back on April 11, as Eastern was clinging to a 1-0 lead through four innings of play. The scored stayed that way until the top of the sixth, as Belpre took advantage of two Eastern errors and two walks to plate a run for a 1-all contest through six com- Moodispaugh Rawson plete. Both teams went on to score a run in the seventh for a 2-all contest, then neither team scored again until the 12th frame. Brittany McNabb led the off the top of the 12th inning with a solo home run, then back-to-back singles by Natalie Perry and Taylor Mason gave BHS a 4-2 edge. The Lady Eagles, however, rallied for three runs in the bottom half of the 12th, which allowed the hosts to pull off the extra-inning triumph. EHS scored its three runs on two hits, two walks and a Belpre error. Amber Moodispaugh drove in the game winning run with a single. EHS starter Brianna Hensley was the winning pitcher of record, allow- ing nine hits and two walks over 12 innings while striking out five. Mason took the loss for Belpre after allowing 10 hits and six walks over 12 frames while fanning nine. Moodispaugh, Brooke Johnson and Hayley Gillian led Eastern with two hits apiece, followed by Allie Rawson, Brenna Holter, Tori Goble and Megan Carnahan with one safety apiece. Mason and Hasley both paced Belpre with two hits each. Game two picked up right where the opener left off, as Belpre jumped out to a small 1-0 advantage after one inning of play and also led 2-0 through five complete. Gillian and Holter provided back-to-back twoout singles in the top of the seventh, then Rawson plated both with a double that knotted the game at two after seven innings of play. But in the bottom of the eighth, McNabb hit a 1-2 offering over the fence — which allowed Belpre to walk away with a 3-2 triumph. Perry was the winning pitcher of record, allowing nine hits and two walks over eight innings while striking out 12. Hensley took the loss after allowing five hits and zero walks over seven-plus frames while fanning one. EHS committed five errors in the nightcap, while Belpre made only one fielding miscue. Holter, Rawson, and Katie Durst led the Lady Eagles with two hits apiece, followed by Gillian, Goble and Moodispaugh with one safety each. McNabb led the hosts with two hits.
