LaGrange Keystone Erupts Late to Cap Perfect
Season with 7-2 Win over Greenville
Wildcats take control with five
runs in sixth inning to claim third state championship
AKRON, Ohio � Top-ranked and undefeated LaGrange Keystone was
held in check through five innings before exploding for five runs in the
top of the sixth inning and adding two more in the seventh en route to a
7-2 win over fifth-ranked Greenville Saturday in the OHSAA Division II
softball state championship at Firestone Stadium.
In the Wildcats� 13th trip to the state tournament, they take home their
third title (2006, 1999) to go along with six runner-up trophies. They
end the season as the state�s only undefeated team at 32-0.
Greenville (29-5) senior pitcher Ashley Hanes kept Keystone off balance
in the early going and saw her offense put the first runs of the game on
the board in the bottom of the fifth inning thanks to an RBI single by
senior Kelly Martin and a successful break for home by senior Paige
Wolter on a delayed steal at second by Martin.
But in the top of the sixth, Keystone collected five base hits and
capitalized on two Greenville errors to take a 5-2 lead. Seniors Bee
Shaw and Bri Buckley knocked RBI singles before senior Alyson Broschik
drilled a two-run triple to give the Wildcats their first lead. Broschik
then scored on an error and Keystone added two more runs an inning later
on a single by Buckley and an RBI triple by sophomore Carleigh
Herrington.
Keystone senior pitcher Kenzie Conrad struck out seven and walked just
one to improve to 25-0 on the season.
For Greenville, Hanes did not walk or strike out a batter and only four
of her seven runs allowed were earned. The Lady Waves were making their
third trip to the state tournament and add a runner-up trophy to their
state championship trophy from 2007.

inning by Champion�s Lindsay Swipas
AKRON, Ohio � Warren Champion senior pitcher Lindsay Swipas took
a no-hitter into the seventh inning to lead the fifth-ranked Golden
Flashes to a 2-0 win over fourth-ranked Bloom-Carroll in the OHSAA
Division III softball state championship game Saturday at Firestone
Stadium.
It marks back-to-back titles for Champion (24-3) and now five overall
(2012, 2011, 1994, 1980, 1974) in seven trips to the state tournament.
Bloom-Carroll (29-4) was making its third trip to the state tournament
after winning titles in their previous two appearances (2006, 2007).
Swipas (22-1) walked the bases loaded in the first inning, but escaped
the jam without allowing a run and then allowed only two other base
runners in the next five innings, both via walk. Bloom-Carroll senior
Paige Reis led off the bottom of the seventh with a line drive single to
left field to break up the no-hitter. She advanced to third on the play
by an error, but Swipas notched a strikeout and two foul pop-outs to end
the game.
Swipas struck out 10 and walked five in her quest to throw the third
no-hitter in OHSAA state championship game history (Hope Gardner,
Jeromesville Hillsdale in 1996 and Alanna Barker, Akron Springfield in
1993).
Champion scored both its runs in the top of the second inning on an RBI
single by senior Alison Sorber and an RBI ground-out by junior Mackenzie
Kiser. Kiser and senior Haley McAllister both had two hits for the
Golden Flashes.
