Menich pitches shutout; Rose downs Carthage

Staff Report The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE — Ben Menich pitched a four-hit shutout Sunday at Art Nehf Field as Rose-Hulman defeated Carthage 8-0 Sunday to take the rubber game of a three-game series in nonconference college baseball.

The Engineer senior allowed just four hits and three walks, getting 14 ground-ball outs and three strikeouts, and his teammates supported him with two runs each in the second and fourth innings and four more in the bottom of the eighth.

Hank Akard and Patrick Klima had three hits each, Akard getting two RBIs and both scoring twice. Bobby Newman drove in four runs, three of them on an eighth-inning double, while Jordan Chipka had a hit, a run and a leaping catch to rob a Carthage player of a hit.

Rose-Hulman is now 3-6 and has home games Saturday against DePauw and Concordia. Carthage is 1-2.

    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.

  • SPT061313 rex johnson.jpg Sliders’ frustration against Rex continues

    The Springfield Sliders probably curse the departure of the Dubois County Bombers from the Prospect League more than most.
    What do the Bombers, who now ply their trade in the Ohio Valley League, have to do with the Sliders, or for that matter, the Terre Haute Rex?
    When the Bombers left the Prospect League it created a situation where the Prospect League’s West Division teams — the Rex and Sliders both being members — had one less opponent to play in intradivision play.

  • Super Bowl champion gives back to kids

    If they were quiet, several dozen youngsters were promised Friday, they could pass around a real Super Bowl ring after its owner was finished speaking to them.
    The response was near silence, and before long Steve Weatherford’s treasured jewelry was circulating throughout the cafeteria at Terre Haute North High School.
    It’s hard to imagine, however, what kind of din would have prompted Weatherford to leave the ring on his finger, because he could relate to the most impish of his listeners.

  • McNichols and Swift 1.jpg FROM THE PRESS BOX: Close, but no cigar, theme for ISU sports in 2012-13

    When I covered my first event of Indiana State’s 2012-13 season — ISU’s opening football game at Indiana — I was the first one in the press box at IU’s Memorial Stadium. I’m never the first one in the press box.
    Maybe the prospect of ISU’s season had me so pumped that I decided to get it started close to three hours early? (Or more truthfully, maybe I was over-vigilent about predicted traffic horrors on the Indiana 46 bypass that never came to pass.)
