Brett Bremer
Sports Editor
The Saxons nearly came up with two vic-
tories at Pennfield Thursday, but game two
was called due to darkness with the Saxons
holding a good-sized lead.
Saxon senior pitcher Harrison Smalley
started things off well for Hastings in game
one by holding the Panthers to one hit in a 6-
Saxon victory.
Smalley went the full seven innings to get
the win striking out seven and walking four.
He limited the Panthers to one earned run on
one hit.
“He had some great defense behind him
and he threw strikes,” Hastings head coach
Jason Sixberry said. “He had the location
going for his ball and that is one of the big-
gest aspects of pitching: location, location,
location. When you’re throwing strikes con-
sistently and hitting the target your pitcher is
giving you it gives you a better chance to
make outs.”
Hastings took a 3-1 lead in game one with
three runs in the top of the fourth inning andthen added two insurance runs in the top of
the seventh. Hastings managed six hits
including a double by Smalley and singles
from Mason Denton, Landon Steward, Lars
Sorensen, Aiden Morton and Aiden Benson.
Smalley drove in the first of those two runs
in the top of the seventh inning with his dou-
ble, scoring Denton from third after Denton
led off the inning with a single.
Denton also led off the top of the fifth by
reaching on an error. He stole second and
third and then scored on a ground out by
Smalley.
Steward and Benson also had RBI for the
Saxons.
Sixberry was really pleased with his team’s
overall defense in the two games. He said
Sorensen made all his plays at second, Ash-
ton Benson had a few nice plays at third and
Steward scooped the ball well at first.
A single by Graham Boyd was the lone hit
for the Panthers.
The Saxons took a 10-3 lead in game two
and had runners on first and third in the top of
the fifth when the game was called due todarkness. Coach Sixberry is unsure of plans
to finish the ballgame at this point.
Hastings smacked eight singles so far in
that game two, including two teach by
Thompson and Denton at the top of the line-
up. Sorensen, Steward, Eastin Tibble and
Aiden Benson had the other four hits.
Sorensen had two RBI and Thompson,
Denton, Carter Reil, Morton, Tibble and
Tyler Morris had one RBI each. Smalley
walked twice and scored a run. Thompson,
Reil and Aiden Benson scored twice each.
The Saxons scored four times in the top of
the first, but Pennfield rallied to get three
back in the home half of the inning. Hastings
held that one-run lead until the fourth when it
added a run and then the Saxons piled on five
runs in the top of the fifth.
Hastings had its Barry County Invitational
canceled due to the weather last Saturday and
had its Tuesday doubleheader with Coldwater
postponed. Next up on the schedule for the
Saxons is a doubleheader against visiting
Jackson Lumen Christi Tuesday, April 26.Catholic Central comes back
to pack on Gold greens
Brett Bremer
Sports Editor
Grand Rapids Catholic Central won’t run
away with the OK Gold Conference this
spring.
The Cougars were dominant at the first
conference jamboree of the season on their
home course at Quail Ridge last week where
they scored a 155 to win by 29 strokes, but
South Christian edged the Cougars by three
strokes Tuesday afternoon at Yankee Springs
Golf Course for the win at the second confer-
ence jamboree.
The Thornapple Kellogg varsity boys’ golf
team was fourth for the second time in two
tries in the conference. South Christian won
with a score of 167 ahead of Catholic Central
170, Forest Hills Eastern 179, Thornapple
Kellogg 181, Kenowa Hills 185, Wayland
198 and Cedar Springs 200.
“I thought we played better today,” TK
head coach Bob Kaminski said. “I was pretty
happy with our play.”
Junior Austin Pitsch led the TK boys on
their home course with a 42 and senior Trevor
Hummer fired a 45.
“I thought Austin played really well. I
thought the conditions were rough, cold and
windy, and he played pretty well.”
Pitsch had four pars on the day including
one on both of the par-3s on the Gold nine.
The TK coach was also pleased with Hum-
mer’s improvements on the day.
“He had better ball contact. He was just
hitting it better,” coach Kaminski said. “On
Friday, when we played he was kind of just
chunking everything – not hitting it real well.
Today, he just hit it better.”
TK also got a 46 from senior Massimo
Piccione and 48s from seniors Mitchell Cor-
ner and Drew Nathan.
“We have a lot we can improve on,” coach
Kaminski said. “I feel like there is potentialthere for us to cut down a few more strokes
than some other teams. We just have to be
more consistent hitting the golf ball and put-
ting better, and have the weather improve so
we’re not in 14 layers of clothes. We just
have to be more consistent, and we have to
get out and practice.”
With the recent weather, the Trojans have
only had a handful of practices out on the
course this spring.“I thought Catholic struggled a little bit,
but maybe South is better than we thought
too,” Kaminski said. “They’re pretty good.
They finished second in our tournament
Friday. I think they’re pretty good. This is a
tough conference.”
Kenowa Hills senior Zach Basiaga was
the day’s medalist with a one-under-par 35.
Catholic Central sophomore Will Preston
was second with a 39 and South Christian
senior Dillon DeSmit shot a 40.
Forest Hills Eastern junior James Sey-
mour and South Christian junior Tanner
Buwalda tied for fourth with 41s.
The Sailors also got a 43 from Jaxson
Rynbrandt and a 43 from Bryce Permoda.
Catholic Central got a 42 from sopho-
more Matthew Sokorai, a 44 from John
Harmon and a 45 from Carl Shadowens.
Thornapple Kellogg hosted its own TK
Invitational last Friday.
The Trojans were 17th in a field of 24
teams with a handful of schools bringing
more than one squad. Grand Rapids Chris-
tian had teams finish first with a 320 and
fourth with a 340.
South Christian was second with a 337
and Grandville third with a 338. Byron Cen-
ter placed fifth at 341 and Caledonia sixth
with a 346 ahead of Lowell 348, Forest Hills
Eastern 354, Allendale 355 and Zeeland
East 358.
TK’s top team had a score of 385. Pitsch
shot an 87, Christian DeBruin and Hummer
both shot 98 and Piccione and Hunter Pitsch
each scored a 102.
TK’s number two team was led by seniors
Daniel Beyer and Corner who each scored a
98.
Grad Rapids Christian’s number two team
that placed fourth had the day’s medalist,
sophomore Nicholas Sherman who scored a- Lowell junior Patrick de Voest was the
runner-up with a 75.
Vikings score three times, not
enough against Blackhawks
The Vikings found themselves chasing
Leslie all afternoon as the two met for a
Greater Lansing Activities Conference match
on Unity Field Tuesday.
The visiting Blackhawks scored a 6-3 win,
pulling away after the two teams were tied
1-1 at the half.
Senior Emma Smieska scored four goals to
lead her team to the win, including a pair of
penalty kicks in the second half.
Lauren Upright, Autumn Williams and
Cadence Poll scored the three Lakewood
goals.
Upright evened the score at 1-1 late in the
first half, after an opening goal by Smieska.
Rebekah Storm fired a shot from the top of
the box that Leslie keeper Ashley Tow
knocked down, but Upright was there to bury
the rebound.
Leslie scored the first two goals of the sec-
ond half on a PK by Emma Smieska and a
shot by freshman Lily Smieska. Those goals
had the Blackhawks up 3-1.
The Vikings pulled within a score on a goal
by Williams who found a surge of energy to
finish off an assist from teammate Haydin
Hawkins.
A second PK by Emma Smieska, again
knocked into the lower left corner of the net,
increased her team’s lead to 4-2. The Black-
hawks’ Lily Smieska scored her second goal
to push the lead to 5-2.
Emma Smieska increased her team’s lead
to four goals at 6-2 racing in after the restart
following Lily’s second goal.
It was Poll who scored the Vikings’ final
goal, pushing up from her spot in the middle
of the Viking defense to try and help the
Vikings’ rally.
The three goals was more than the Lake-
wood ladies had scored in their first four
matches combined.
The Lakewood girls are now 0-3-2 overall
this season and 0-2 in the GLAC.
The Vikings are scheduled to visit Perry
this afternoon, April 21. They will be home to
take on Portland Friday and again on Monday
against Pennfield.Vikes sweep Valley girls, but drop one at Perry

The Lakewood varsity softball team fin-
ished up a three-game sweep of its Greater
Lansing Activities Conference series with
Maple Valley by scoring a 23-0 win over the
Lions at Maple Valley High School Thursday
afternoon.
Lakewood pitcher Cora Giffin no-hit the
Lions while striking out seven and walking
none. She had a double offensively.
Lily Federau, Audrey Hillard and Claire
Behnam led the Viking offense with three hits
each. Federau had two triples and a double.
Hillard belted a single, a double and a home
run. Behnam had two singles and a double.
Liv Woodman singled twice and Ally Slat-
er had a single for the Vikings too.
The Vikings are now 3-1 in the GLAC this
season. They suffered their first conference
defeat Tuesday at Perry.
Lakewood led 3-0, but Perry scored seven
runs in the bottom of the sixth and then fin-
ished off a 7-3 victory in the seventh.
Lakewood was scheduled to host a double-
header with the Ramblers yesterday, April 20.
