The best way
to take the fight out of an opponent is to answer immediately when they
threaten. That is exactly what Terre Haute South did Monday evening in downing
Northview 5-3 to advance to the final game of the Martinsville Sectional. They
will, as expected, face city rival Terre Haute North for the title.
Northview
took a 2-0 lead in the second off of Braves’ starter Tyler Goodman. South then
immediately answered with a five run outburst in its next at bat. A two run
double by A.J. Buck and a subsequent two run homer from Jacob Hayes were the
big blows in the frame.
Goodman
pitched out of trouble repeatedly during the game. He struck out six and walked
none in the victory.
Sophomore John Robert Patterson pitched North
into the final. He allowed only three hits and pitched his way past some sloppy
Patriot defense. Dougie Collett hit a second inning home run to get the offense
started, and North prevailed over Plainfield 7-4.
