METRO ROUNDUP: Brock hurls complete game as Post 346 advances to finals

Staff Writer The Tribune-Star

KOKOMO — The Wayne Newton Post 346 junior American Legion baseball team advanced to the state finals on Sunday, beating host Kokomo Post 6 7-3 in the regional championship game.

Cody Brock pitched a complete game with nine strikeouts, Lane Dransfield capped a 3-for-3 day with a tie-breaking RBI and Greg Hannum followed that hit with another that drove in two runs in a decisive fifth-inning rally.

The team returns to Kokomo for the state finals, beginning with a 5 p.m. game Thursday against Newburgh Post 44.

In other baseball:

• North 12s win, advance — At Elkhart, the Terre Haute North 12-year-olds beat Jasper 14-4 in Little League state tournament pool play Monday and moved into the single-elimination quarterfinal round.

North broke open the game with a seven-run second inning, then got homers from Chris Taylor and Colten Panaranto in the third to finish first in its pool with a 2-1 record. After an opening win over Dyer, North lost to Ben Davis on Sunday.

North plays New Castle at 3 p.m. today.



Terre Haute North 14, Jasper 4 — For North, Colten Panaranto was 4 for 4 with a 2-run homer; Evan Funkhouser and Chance Cooper were both 3 for 4; Blade Pittman was 2 for 3 with a double; Chris Taylor was 1 for 1 with a homer; Avery Briddick and Brandon O’Neal were both 1 for 1; and Jason Mundell and Parker Bray were 1 for 2 and 1 for 3 respectively, each with a double.



• North 11s fall — At Greenwood, the Terre Haute North 11-year-olds lost 11-8 to Jasper in Little League state tournament play Monday, although it was an out-of-pool game that meant nothing to North’s advancement to the quarterfinals.

North begins single-elimination play at 5:30 p.m. today against Valparaiso. Games are being played at Franklin Township Little League.



Jasper 11, Terre Haute North 8 — For North, Cayman Hayes was 2 for 3 with a 2-run homer, Jake Lautenschlager was 2 for 4 with a 2-run homer, Max Glotzbach was 2 for 3 and Chris Nidiffer was 1 for 3 with a double.



• Sonic Braves finish on high note — At Indianapolis, the Terre Haute South Sonic Braves won all five of their games last week to win the 15u championship of the West Indy Baseball Bash.

The team finished 40-12 for the spring — as the Terre Haute South freshman team — and summer seasons.



Terre Haute South Sonic Braves — Cam Clark, Mitchell Clinkenbeard, Jeff Davignon, Mark Drake, Logan Flack, Timmy Hayes, Matt Hinkle, John McCue, Ryen Millsap, Marvin Pitt, Jordan Ralston, Conner Shipley, Spence Tofaute and Jared Wolfe. Coaches are Shane Abrell, Cole Vicars, Chad Chrisman and Nick Arnold.



• Bombers 4, Rex 3, 13 innings — At Huntingburg, a bases-loaded wild pitch in the bottom of the 13th inning late Sunday gave host Dubois County a victory over the Terre Haute Rex in Prospect League play.

The Bombers tied the game with single runs in the eighth and 12th innings and snapped a four-game winning streak for the Rex. Terre Haute still has a three and one-half game lead in the second-half West Division standings.

Two of the Indiana State players on the Bombers were instrumental in all four Dubois County runs. Jeff Zahn singled and scored in the second inning and again in the eighth, Landon Curry’s two-out single tied the game in the bottom of the 12th and Zahn’s fourth hit of the game loaded the bases in the 13th.

The Rex play tonight at Hannibal.



Terre Haute    000    002    000    001    0    —    3    8    1

Dubois Co.    010    000    010    001    1    —    4    13    2

Robinson, Oltman (8), Blount (8), Manering (12), Dove (13) and Norwood, Bowles; Sapp, Kudrecki (8), Green (9), Simpson (13) and Conner. W — Simpson, 5-2. L — Manering, 2-5.

Highlights — For the Rex, Patrick Chandler was 2 for 4 with a double, a run and an RBI; Nick Johnson was 2 for 5; and Kyle Kempf was 2 for 6. For the Bombers, Jeff Zahn was 4 for 7 with 2 runs and Landon Curry was 2 for 7 with an RBI.

Next — The Terre Haute Rex (13-5 second half) play today at Hannibal. Dubois County (8-10 second half) plays today at Danville.



• Manaea picked — Indiana State’s Sean Manaea has been named the starting pitcher for the West Division in the Cape Cod League all-star game Saturday at Harwich Point, Mass.

Manaea, pitching for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks, leads the CCL in innings pitched (37 2/3) and strikeouts (66) and has allowed just six walks and 18 hits. He has a 3.1 record and a 1.67 earned run average (third in the league).
