BRAZIL, Ind. —
Host Northview went from an 0-3 Big 4 Tournament performance in high school baseball a year ago to winning the championship late Saturday night, downing Terre Haute South 6-4 in the championship game.
The Braves, who beat Terre Haute North on Friday and West Vigo earlier Saturday, finished with a 2-1 tournament record. Northview has played just two Big 4 games — and has its final one today against West Vigo, the makeup of a postponement last week — but can do no worse than 2-1 and has the head-to-head tiebreaker.
The Knights never trailed in the championship game, using a double by Craig Peters and a run-scoring single by Connor Pierce to take a 2-0 lead in the top of the first.
South got a run in the bottom of the inning on a run-scoring hit by Spencer Whitlock, but Northview starter Coleman Craig settled down and held South scoreless the next three innings.
Northview had a 6-1 lead going into the bottom of the fifth, but South rallied. Brock Wheeler, the third Northview pitcher in that inning, halted South’s rally and held the Braves scoreless the rest of the way to earn his fifth save of the season.
That tied the Northview school record that had been set by current Knights coach Scott McDonald.
Northview 201 030 0 — 6 7 0

Goatee, Bertoli ran away with Spring Athlete of the Year
When honoring athletes after a season of excellence, the phrase “what might have been” doesn’t usually come up.
But in the case of Terre Haute South’s Jackson Bertoli and Terre Haute North’s TaPring Goatee – the Tribune-Star’s Athletes of the Year for spring sports – there’s an air of unfinished business despite obvious recent successes.

North boys move up to 13th in golf state finals
Early Wednesday morning, Terre Haute North senior Ryan Baker and coach Abe Nasser headed out to the Legends of Indiana Golf Course for a range session.
Baker wasn’t happy with the 85 he shot in Tuesday’s first round of the IHSAA boys golf state finals.
“He was frustrated,” Nasser said.
Problem solved. Baker bounced back with a 2-over 74 Wednesday, helping the Patriots improve their team score by seven strokes.
The Patriots shot 304 as a team Wednesday, giving them a two-day score of 615, good for 13th place in the 15-team field. -

South runs into ‘buzzsaw’ at girls tennis semistate
Postmatch interviews don’t often begin with a coach and a reporter ready to blurt out the same word, but that was the case for Bill Blankenbaker and his interviewer Saturday morning after the Center Grove Semistate for girls high school tennis.
Unfortunately for Blankenbaker’s Terre Haute South team, that word was “buzzsaw.”
Greenwood’s Kawamoto twins made quick work of the top of the Braves’ singles lineup, so despite stellar efforts by both South doubles teams the Woodmen’s 3-2 victory didn’t seem all that close.
Greenwood moves on to Fishers, where it plays Floyd Central or Jasper on Friday in the state quarterfinals.
Also playing Friday, but at Park Tudor, will be South’s Miranda Camp and Nicole Howe, who reached the individual doubles finals for the second straight season by virtue of their 6-4, 6-2 win over the Greenwood team of Taylor Hudnall and Brittany Toney.
“It’s really exciting,” said Howe of the prospect of a second straight finals trip, “but I wish our team could’ve gone with us.”
