MEIGS COUNTY
— Students from local
high schools were
chosen to attend the
2017 Regional Scholars
Leadership Conference
on April 25 and 26.
The Leadership Conference is designed for
high school juniors.
The Gifted Coordinators of Southeast Ohio
collaborate to organize
this event that is held
every spring. Students build leadership
skills and learn group
dynamics, personality
types and differences in
communication styles
through the two-day
event. This year the
event was held at Camp
Akita in Logan.
The camp is supportive of outdoor activities including ground
initiatives, a 50 foot
Alpine climbing tower
and archery. Students
were encouraged to
participate in activities
outside their comfort
zone. Small session
options were archery,
team-building and
leadership qualities,
ground initiatives and
the climbing tower/
rope swing. A financial
aid, scholarship and
admissions essay session was presented by
a representative from
Ohio State University
with a college fair held
after. The college fair
allowed the students to
become familiar with
over 15 colleges and
universities in Ohio
and West Virginia. At
the conclusion of the
event, the students left
with new discoveries
about themselves and
lasting friendships.
Participating in the
conference were from

Brad Logan, Bryce
Swatzel, Greg Sheets;

POMEROY — A half
dozen Pomeroy residents
attended last week’s village
council meeting to ask village officials to be more
active governing sections of
town like Pleasant Ridge and
Spring Avenue.
The group presented individual issues in sequence,
covering a critical mass of
unaddressed problems that
the residents said made
them feel their homes had
been “abandoned” by the
village.
Concerns relayed included:
Eyesore and hazardous
buildings that remain standing for extended periods,
unpenalized residential trash
burning, excessive speeding on smaller neighborhood roads, slapdash street
parking that continuously
impedes roadways, neglected
property care — to the point
of obstructing view of the
road with unmowed grass —
and severe neglect of structural instabilities in certain
streets.
In context of the conversation, the council also
discussed the proliferation of
aggressive dogs not kept on
leash or enclosures.
Towards the end of the
discussion, one resident
concluded, “We’ve voiced
our opinion on all of this…
Is it not possible to enforce
things?”
Councilperson Maureen
Hennessy pointed out many
of the problems would be
covered under existing ordinances and laws, and only
needed more aggressive
administration.
For example, Councilperson Phil Ohlinger referred
to an ordinance that allows
the village to mow highly
unkempt lawns and bill the
property owner.
Pomeroy’s Code Enforcement Officer was not present
at the meeting.
“You’ve stated about a
dozen different complaints,
and all of them need to be
taken care of,” said Ohlinger
as the discussion wrapped
up.
The residents said when
they had brought these
issues separately to various
government bodies, like the
Building Inspector’s office,

THEIR VIEW
How to fight
fake news
By Matthew A. Baum
and David Lazer
Contributing Columnists
We know a lot about fake news. Academics have been
studying it — and how to combat it — for decades. In
1925, Harper’s Magazine published “Fake News and the
Public,” calling its spread via new communication technologies “a source of unprecedented danger.”
That danger has only increased, of course. Some of
the most shared “news stories” from the 2016 U.S. election — such as Hillary Clinton selling weapons to Islamic
State or the pope endorsing Donald Trump for president
— were simply made up.
Unfortunately — as a conference we recently convened
at Harvard revealed — the solutions Google, Facebook
and other tech giants and media companies are pursuing
aren’t in many instances the ones that social scientists
and computer scientists are convinced will work.
We know, for example, that the more you’re exposed to
things that aren’t true, the more likely you are to eventually accept them. As recent studies led by psychologist
Gordon Pennycook, political scientist Adam Berinsky
and others have shown, over time people tend to forget
where or how they found out about a news story. When
they encounter it again, it is familiar from the prior
exposure, and so they are more likely to accept it as true.
It doesn’t matter if from the start it was labeled as fake
news or unreliable — repetition is what counts.
Reducing acceptance of fake news thus means making
it less familiar. Editors, producers, distributors and aggregators need to stop repeating these stories, especially in
their headlines. A fact-check story about “birtherism,” for
example, should lead by debunking the myth, not restating it.
This flies in the face of a lot of traditional journalistic
practice. The online Washington Post regularly features
“Fact Checker” headlines consisting of claims to be evaluated, with a “Pinocchio Test” appearing at the end of
the accompanying story. The problem is that readers are
more likely to notice and remember the claim than the
conclusion.
Another thing we know is that shocking claims stick
in your memory. A long-standing body of research shows
that people are more likely to attend to and later recall a
sensational or negative headline, even if a fact checker
flags it as suspect. Fake news stories nearly always feature alarming claims designed to grab the attention of
web surfers. Fact checkers can’t compete — especially if
their findings are writ small.
To persuade people that fake news is fake, the messenger is as important as the message. When it comes to
correcting falsehoods, a fellow partisan is often more persuasive than a neutral third party. For instance, Trump
is arguably the individual most closely associated with
birtherism. But in September 2016, Trump announced
that Obama was a native-born American, “period.”
Polling a few days later showed an 18-percentage point
drop among registered Republicans in acceptance of the
birther myth. Countless debunking stories by fact checkers had far less impact.
The internet platforms have perhaps the most important role in the fight against fake news. They need to
move suspect news stories farther down the lists of items
returned through search engines or social media feeds.
The key to evaluating credibility, and story placement,
is to focus not on individual items but on the cumulative stream of content from a given website. Evaluating
individual stories is simply too slow to reliably stem their
spread.
Google recently announced some promising steps
in this direction. It was responding to criticism that its
search algorithm had elevated to front-page status some
stories featuring Holocaust denial and false information
about the 2016 election. But more remains to be done.
Holocaust denial is, after all, low-hanging fruit, relatively
easily flagged. Yet even here Google’s initial efforts
produced at best mixed results, initially shifting a denial
site downward, then ceasing to work reliably before ultimately eliminating the site from search results.
The platforms must also wrestle more seriously with
how to evade manipulation. Recent research led by
computer scientist Filippo Menczer highlights the synchronized push of fake news by millions of bots on social
media and has developed new ways of detecting them.
In a white paper released last month, Facebook claims
that its top priority is making sure accounts are owned
by real people. Yet its visible efforts to date to purge fake
accounts — most notably 30,000 in France ahead of that
nation’s presidential election — seem small relative to the
scale of the problem. By its own estimates, Facebook may
have as many 138 million duplicate or false accounts.
Finally, the public must hold Facebook, Google and
other platforms to account. It is difficult to assess how
real or effective their anti-fake news efforts are because
they control the data necessary for such evaluations.
Independent researchers must have access to the data in
a way that protects user privacy but helps us figure out
what is and isn’t working in the fight against misinformation.
For all the talk about fake news, the truth is that we
know a lot about why people read, believe and share
things that aren’t true. Now we just need the big technology platforms and media companies to take the truth to
heart.

Trump needs to get over his Obama fixation

“Why are you beset
with gloom?

“Pumping in my living
room.”

“Still I Rise”
House leaks, for gang
activity, the gas attack in
Syria, the botched raid in
Yemen, factory layoffs in
Indiana. You’ve blamed
him for supposedly tapping your phones.
This week, you blamed
him for former National
Security Adviser Mike
Flynn, whom you fired in
February after The Washington Post reported he
had lied about his contacts with a Russian official. As questions about
your administration’s
possible ties to Russia
heated up again, you
tweeted: “General Flynn
was given the highest
security clearance by the
Obama administration
— but the Fake News seldom likes talking about
that.”
That’s a howler for
several reasons. One:
Obama fired Flynn from
the Defense Intelligence
Agency in 2014. Two: He
warned you, right after
the election, that Flynn
was bad news. Three:
Sally Yates, then the acting attorney general, testified Monday that she
told your administration
that Flynn had lied and
was thus vulnerable to
Russian blackmail.
Yet, you didn’t fire him
until 18 days later when
the Post published its
report. And somehow,
that’s Obama’s fault?
Mr. So-Called President, this begins to look
less like politics than
obsession. Maybe it’s
understandable. There
you are, trapped in meetings with Paul Ryan,
only able to golf a paltry
16 times or so in your
first 100 days, stuck
with a job that’s way
harder than you thought
it would be. Meantime,
there he is, parasailing in
the Virgin Islands, yachting in the South Pacific
with Oprah Winfrey and
Tom Hanks, still sleeker
than you, still smarter
than you, still speaking
in complete sentences
and, by all appearances,
having the time of his
life.
Is that the basis of this
weird psychodrama? In
your mind, is he Bugs
Bunny to your Elmer
Fudd? Moby Dick to
your Ahab? Well, like it
or not — and most of
us don’t — you are the
so-called president now.
And that is supposed to
mean something.
“The buck stops here.”
Ever hear that expression? It was popular-
ginia.
In 1865, Confederate
President Jefferson Davis
was captured by Union
forces in Irwinville, Georgia.
In 1924, J. Edgar
Hoover was named acting
director of the Bureau of
Investigation (later known
as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, or FBI).
In 1933, the Nazis
staged massive public
book burnings in Germany.
In 1940, during World
War II, German forces
began invading the Netherlands, Luxembourg,
Belgium and France. The
same day, British Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain resigned, and
Winston Churchill formed

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
By Leonard Pitts Jr.
Contributing Columnist
Dear Mr. So-Called
President:
You really need to get
over this Obama fixation.
Can’t you see he’s just
not that into you? The
sooner you accept that
and get on with your life,
the better off you’ll be.
No, it is not uncommon for a president to
blame bad tidings on the
guy before him, sometimes even with justification. President Obama
himself was seldom slow
to remind people of
the economic mess he
inherited from President
Bush.
But you, Mr. So-Called
President, have ridden that horse into the
ground where Barack
Obama is concerned.
You’ve blamed him for
protests against you and
your party and for White
ized by Harry Truman,
reflecting his belief that
as president, it was his
job to make hard decisions and accept the consequences.
But with you, the buck
never stops and you
never saw a consequence
you couldn’t dodge.
That’s not a profile you’d
want to see in the manager of a Dairy Queen,
much less the leader of
the free world. Yes, you
got away with it in your
years as a flimflam man
and reality-show huckster. But you’re in a different arena now.
And it has revealed
you as a man of moral
greasiness and with an
utter lack of character.
Surely even you must
know, behind all the
bluster and boastfulness, how badly you are
blowing this. Just four
months in, you’re already
on track to go down as
the most incompetent
president, ever.
You’ll probably blame
Obama for that, too.

Today is Wednesday,
May 10, the 130th day of
2017. There are 235 days

Today’s Highlight in
History:
On May 10, 1869, a
golden spike was driven
in Promontory, Utah,
marking the completion
of the first transcontinental railroad in the United
States.
On this date:
In 1774, Louis XVI
acceded to the throne of
France.
In 1775, Ethan Allen
and his Green Mountain
Boys, along with Col.
Benedict Arnold, captured
the British-held fortress at
Ticonderoga, New York.
In 1863, during the
Civil War, Confederate Lt.
Gen. Thomas “Stonewall”
Jackson died of pneumonia, a complication
resulting from being hit
by friendly fire eight days
earlier during the Battle
of Chancellorsville in Vir-
“The art of being wise is the art of knowing
what to overlook.”

suicide at age 93.)
In 1960, the nuclearpowered submarine USS
Triton completed its submerged navigation of the
globe.
In 1977, Academy
Award-winning actress
Joan Crawford died in
New York.
In 1984, the International Court of Justice
said the United States
should halt any actions
to blockade Nicaragua’s
ports (the U.S. had
already said it would not
recognize World Court
jurisdiction on this issue).
In 1994, Nelson Mandela took the oath of office
in Pretoria to become
South Africa’s first black
president. The state of Illi-
nois executed serial killer
John Wayne Gacy, 52, for
the murders of 33 young
men and boys.
Ten years ago: British
Prime Minister Tony
Blair announced he would
step down June 27. (Blair
was succeeded by fellow Labourite Gordon
Brown.) The Democraticcontrolled House, by a
vote of 255-171, defeated
legislation to require the
withdrawal of U.S. combat
troops from Iraq within
nine months. A federal
jury in Santa Ana, California, convicted Chineseborn engineer Chi Mak
of conspiring to export
U.S. defense technology
to China. (Mak was later
sentenced to 24½ years in
federal prison.)

Blackburn and DeWine
stated that if there are others who may have been

released information on
the linked cases in January
2016, more than 150 tips

approximately 30 DNA

though the investigation.
Lawson remains held in
Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail on a $3 million bond
at the request of Blackburn
as he awaits a pretrial hearing on June 5 and a trial
date of July 10.
Blackburn stated that
in this, as well as any
other case, the defendant
is “innocent until proven
guilty” and that he will
have his day in court.
Additional search warrants have been conducted
since Lawson’s arrest, with
Blackburn stating that
additional charges are possible, although he did not
state the nature of those
charges. A termination
from diversion notice has
been filed in the previous
case.
This case was investigated by the Athens Police
Department, the Athens

The council agreed
antagonizing their neighbors should not be the

“We shouldn’t need to

by the Attorney General’s
office allowed for the testing of the 2006 kit which
otherwise had not been

and profile of the alleged
predator last year through
a DNA profile.
Blackburn stated that he
had personally spoken to
two of the victims of the
case, while McCall and
others spoke with a victim
who is now in Pennsylvania to let them know of
the charges and the arrest.
He stated that the victims
were relieved to have the

blank Calhoun
in sectional
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
MASON, W. Va. — Let the defense of another
state championship officially begin.
That’s because the Wahama White Falcons —the
two-time defending Class A state baseball champions — successfully opened defense of that title on
Monday, by blanking Calhoun County 12-0 in the
Class A Region 4 Section 1 opening round.
The host White Falcons, after only three batters in
the opening inning, batted around in the second —
scoring five runs on three hits.
In the third frame, eight Wahama hitters saw the
dish, and the White Falcons forged four more runs
on two more hits.
In the fourth, and highlighted by Tanner’s Smith
two-run single to make it 11-0, Wahama added three
more runs to put the mercy rule into effect.
The contest was called following the fifth inning
with the 10-run mercy rule, as the third-seeded
White Falcons began what they hope is another
appearance in Appalachian Power Park in early June.
Wahama, with the shutout of sixth-seeded Calhoun, raised its record to 16-9.
Three pitchers shared mound duties for both
clubs, as Dalton Kearns claimed the win for Wahama
— while working the initial two innings.
Kearns started before Jared Oliver relieved him
for the third and fourth frames, followed by Jonathan
Frye throwing for the fifth.
Kearns gave up two hits and Oliver one, while
Frye finished with one walk.
But Kearns struck out four, Oliver added a pair,
and Frye fanned one Red Devil batter.
Soney Wilson, with singles in the first and third
innings, and Caden Hicks —with a single in the first
—accounted for the only three Calhoun County hits.
Wilson reached second in both frames but didn’t
score —before being walked in the fifth.
Of the White Falcons’ dozen runs, only four were
earned —thanks to the Red Devils committing five
errors.
Wilson was the starting and losing pitcher for Calhoun, as he went the first two innings and allowed
five runs on three hits with three walks.
Mason Bennett went the next one-and-a-third, giving up seven runs on four hits while walking a pair.
Both Calhoun hurlers allowed two earned runs
apiece.
Smith paced the White Falcons’ attack with two
hits and three runs batted in, as he also had a sacrifice fly in the second.
Oliver, Tyler Bumgarner, Philip Hoffman, Bryton
Grate and Nyles Riggs registered one hit apiece, as
Riggs recorded an RBI-double.
Grate and Hoffman had RBI-singles, as Colton
Arrington added a sacrifice fly in the third.
Wyatt Edwards, on an error, drove in Smith for the
12th and final Wahama run.
Wahama, on Tuesday (May 9), traveled to secondseeded Williamstown for another Region 4 Section
1 affair.

Meigs also defeated
Jackson on March 27,
by a 2-0 count in the
Apple City. The Ironmen
avenged that loss on May
4, topping the Maroon
and Gold by an 11-7 final
in Rocksprings.
This is the seventh con-
secutive year that Meigs
has won at least one postseason game. In the past
four years, this marks the
third postseason meeting
between the Marauders
and Ironmen. In 2015,
Meigs knocked off Jackson by a 4-3 count in the
sectional semifinal, while
JHS eliminated MHS in
the 2014 sectional final.
“I give credit to our
kids,” Bissell said. “With
the way our league is and
our strength of schedule,
it helps us prepare for
tournament time.”
The Ironmen — who
were the top seed last
spring — have now gone
three seasons without a
tournament win.
Meigs will now be
tasked with top-seeded
Marietta, which brings
a 19-3 record into the
Thursday’s sectional final
in Washington County.
The Tigers swept the
Marauders in regular
season, winning 6-0 on
April 4, in Rocksprings,
and 14-1 on April 25, in
Marietta.
“We’ve seen them
twice and they’re a great
program,” Bissell said of
the top-seeded Tigers.
“They’re a senior-laden
team and we’ll have to
play like we did tonight to
give ourselves a chance.”

Williamstown ousts
Lady Falcons, 3-1
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
WILLIAMSTOWN,
W.Va. — The Lady Falcons
found out what its like to
be stung twice in a row.
For the second straight
year, the Wahama softball
team’s season was ended
by the Lady YellowJackets,
as Williamstown claimed
a 3-1 victory over the
Lady Falcons, in the Class
A Region 4, Section 1
final on Monday in Wood
County.
Wahama (23-10) — the
No. 2 seed — needed to
defeat the fourth-seeded
Lady YellowJackets twice
in order to win the section, as Williamstown
defeated the Red and
White in the winner’s
bracket final, on Thursday
in Hartford.
The Lady Falcons’ first
base runner of the game
came in the third inning,
as Cynthia Hendrick
singled. However, the
Wahama senior was left
stranded on second base.
Williamstown (17-12)
—which has now won five
straight games —got its
first base runner of the
game with two outs in the
bottom of the third, when
Keely Alsup drew a base
on balls. After a wild pitch
and an error, Alsup scored
on a single by Nellie King
for the game’s first run.
Williamstown pushed its
lead to 3-0 with two outs
in the bottom of the fourth
frame, when Jocey West
singled home Brittney
Hooper and Faith Hoosier.
Wahama left a runner
in scoring position in
each the fourth, fifth and
sixth innings. The Lady
Falcons scored their first
and only run of the game
with two outs in the top of
the seventh, when Hannah
Rose singled home Logan
Tornadoes
From page 6
Cleland and Phoenix Cleland both scored twice,
with Sierra earning an
RBI.
The first of the Lady
Rebels’ hits was a single
Irene Santos in the
second inning, and the
second was a single by
Maddie Simpson in the
fourth frame.
Southern left six runners on base and committed one error, while the
Red and Gold had two
runners left on base and
seven errors.
The Lady Tornadoes
also defeated SGHS in
two regular season meetings, winning by a 25-2
count on March 29, in
Racine, and then by a
17-2 final on April 11, in
Eades.
King earned the pitching victory in a complete
game for the Lady YellowJackets, striking out 11
and allowing one earned
run, six hits and one walk.
Taylor McGrew struck
out three batters and took
the loss in six innings
of work for Wahama,
allowing three runs, two
earned, on five hits and
one walk.
Hendrick led the
Wahama offense, going
3-for-3 with a double. Rose
singled once and drove in
one run, Alexis Mick and
Ashtyn Russell both added
a single, while Eades
scored once.
West singled once and
drove in two runs for Williamstown, while Hoosier
and Alsup both singled
once and scored once.
King posted one hit and
one RBI for the hosts,
Kristin Harmon added
a single, while Hooper
scored one run.
The Lady Falcons committed two errors and left
seven runners on base,
while Williamstown had
one error and stranded
three runners.
Wahama won its first
meeting of the year with
Williamstown, by a 5-4
count, in Hartford on
March 16.
Last season, the Lady
YellowJackets ended
Wahama’s year by a 4-1
count in the Class A
Region 4 final.
Wahama — which won
12 of its final 14 games,
with both setbacks coming to Williamstown —
must now say goodbye to
seniors Taylor McGrew,
Cynthia Hendrick and
Amara Helton.

Mercerville.
The Lady Tornadoes
advance to the sectional
final on Thursday, when
they will visit No. 3
Waterford.
Southern will be hoping that the third time is
the charm, as the Lady
Wildcats swept Southern
in the regular season.
WHS won by a 10-7
count on April 18, in
Meigs County, and then
by a 10-3 count on May 2,
in Washington County.
South Gallia has one
regular season game
remaining on the schedule, as the Lady Rebels
visit Federal Hocking on
Tuesday. That will be the
final game in the Red and
Gold for South Gallia’s
two seniors Maddie Simpson and Irene Santos.

Both teams actually went without a baserunner through three
innings of play, but the
Blue and White struck
first blood with one out
in the top of the fourth.
Corey Hudnall singled
and advanced to second
on a free pass to Kevin
Morehart, then both
runners came home
on a first pitch single
from Christian Holland
to give the Cats a 2-0
advantage.
SHS ended up leaving
the bases loaded in its
half of the fourth, but
Bailey Kirk scored on
a balk that allowed the
hosts to cut their deficit
in half.
Kirk also led the
sixth off with a single,
then stole second and
advanced to third on a
groundout before coming home on a wild pitch
that knotted things up
at two through six complete.
Trace Harless reached
on an infield error in the
seventh, then advanced
to third on a two-out single from Jacob Hensley
that put runners on the
corners. Cordell Parsons
followed with a single to
left field that plated the
winning run in Harless.
Sherman outhit the
guests by a 7-5 overall
margin, with the Wildcats committing the only
error of the game.
Kirk was the winning
pitcher of record after
allowing two earned
runs, five hits and two
walks over seven innings
while striking out 15.
Nick Hughes took the
tough-luck loss after
surrendering three runs
(two earned), seven hits
and three walks over 6.2
frames while fanning
seven.
Sawyer Casto led HHS
with two hits, followed
by Hudnall, Holland and
James Bledsoe with a
safety apiece. Holland
accounted for both RBIs
in the loss, while Hudnall and Morehart each
scored a run.
Kirk led the hosts with
two hits and two runs
scored, with Hensley,
Parsons, Harless, Layne
Daniel and Hunter
Breeden providing a
safety apiece. Harless
also scored a run for the
victors.

Blue Devils blank Vikings in sectional
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com
CENTENARY, Ohio
— Offensively, the Blue
Devils definitely didn’t
win this one the SmithBarney way.
But, they certainly
can’t complain about
Jeremy Brumfield’s final
pitching performance on
the home field.
That’s because Brumfield, a senior, threw a
two-hit no-walk complete-game gem — and
host Gallia Academy
captured a 5-0 shutout
victory over visiting Vinton County in Monday’s
Division II sectional
semifinal at the Robert
Eastman Ballfield.
Brumfield struck
out six, stranded five
Vikings, and retired the
Vikings 1-2-3 in three of
the final four innings.
He had faced four
batters apiece in the
first, second and sixth
— and overcame backto-back fielding errors
in the third to leave two
Vikings aboard with a
3-0 lead.
At the plate, the Blue
Devils only amounted
five hits, as all five
of their runs were
unearned —thanks to
Vinton County committing three second-inning
errors and another in
the fifth.
Gallia Academy
scored three times in the
second and twice more
in the fifth frame — on
only two hits apiece.
But, in tournament
play, it’s all about survive and advance — and
the seventh-seeded
Blue Devils did just
that, while raising their
record to 15-8.
“This tournament win
is good for these young
kids’ confidence, and
they’ve been talking a
little bit about a matchup with Athens. It’s
good for these seniors
to get a win in their last
game on this field. Jeremy Brumfield pitched
a pretty good game. He
didn’t walk a guy and
gave up only two hits.
That’s a pretty good outing,” said GAHS coach
Rich Corvin. “We wanted to put the ball in play,
but we have to get better offensively. That’s no
secret to that. But when
you don’t give up any

runs, you have a pretty
good chance to win.”
Indeed you do.
Now, more importantly, the young Ohio Valley
Conference co-champions get an opportunity
at Athens — the second
seed in the sectional
and the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division
champs.
The Bulldogs boast
a stellar record of 20-3,
and were the Division
II regional runners-up a
year ago.
First pitch for Thursday’s sectional championship is set for 5
p.m.— at Athens High
School’s Rannow Field.
The Bulldogs, only
last Tuesday, defeated
the Blue Devils 6-2 at
Gallia Academy.
But, the Blue and
White was still on a
high — having clinched
its share of its second
consecutive OVC title a
day earlier.
On Thursday, the Blue
Devils will have had two
days off in between.
Still, they will need
to hit the ball better,
and not rely on Athens errors as they did
against the Vikings.
In the second, and
against Vinton County
pitcher Jeffery Harper,
Gallia Academy combined a one-out walk to
Brumfield, a 6-4 fielder’s
choice, three errors, a
stolen base and RBI-singles by Braden Simms
and John Stout.
Dylan Smith, Tanner
Allen and Simms scored
in the inning, as Josh
Davis drove in Allen on
an error.
All three runs crossed
the plate with two outs.
Harper, who also went
the distance and even
retired the Blue Devils
1-2-3 in the first, third
and sixth stanzas —had
kept the Vikings close
until Gallia Academy’s
other two runs in the
fifth.
GAHS combined a
Cole Davis single, a stolen base, a dropped third
strike, a Brody Thomas
sacrifice fly to score
Davis and a Brumfield
single to plate pinchrunner Brenden Carter.
The Blue Devils’ only
other hit off Harper,
who struck out five, was
Smith’s single down the
third-base line to lead
off the fourth.
Brumfield did have
some defensive help,
despite Gallia Academy
making three errors.
Vinton County’s Jaydon Spires smacked a
triple to right center on
the game’s second at-bat,
but Brumfield stranded
him — thanks to Garrett
McGuire’s diving catch
in left field to rob Lincoln Hayes.
Hayes had the Vikings’
only other hit in the
sixth — a two-out single
to center.
The loss ended 10thseeded Vinton County’s
season at 5-15.
For the Blue Devils,
it’s now a colossal contest against Athens for
the sectional championship — and a likely look
at Athens ace pitcher
Brendan Sano.
Corvin said young
Gallia Academy is going
to give it everything it
has.
“Thursday is going to
be a big test obviously.
We’re going to try and
figure out ways to get
guys on base and get
them around somehow,”
he said. “I’m guessing we’re going to see
(Brendan) Sano on the
mound, but we’ll see
what we can do and let
the chips fall.”
