The UMC Golden Eagles softball team got an outstanding pitching performance and a big home run from a couple of their Seniors as they got a 4-1 win in game one of a doubleheader with Minot State. In game two, UMC had a furious rally late to tie the game, but Minot State was able to pull away for a 9-7 victory as the teams split the final two games of the regular season.

GAME ONE

The game stayed scoreless until the bottom of the second when the Golden Eagles got on the board. Dana Zarn (So. Winnipeg, Manitoba) doubled to start the inning and Hannah Macias (Jr. West Covina, CA) singled and stole second after trying to get in a rundown to put two runners in scoring position. After Zarn and Macias got out of another hectic rundown, a walk loaded the bases and Hailey Hatfield (Fresh. Olathe, KA) brought in a run on a groundout. We knew from the get-go you have to outscore Minot because they are going to hit. They are a good hitting team, said Golden Eagles Head Coach Travis Owen.

Minot State was able to manufacture a run in the top of the fourth to tie the game. With one out, an error allowed a runner to reach first. She stole second, and advanced to third on a groundout, and came in to score on an infield chopper for a base hit.UMC answered back in the bottom of the inning to take back the lead. Hannah Macias and Alina Avalos (So. Riverside, CA) hit consecutive singles with one out. Then, Cassie Querry (Sr. Cassville, PA) hit a three-run home run for the second consecutive day to give the Golden Eagles a 4-1 lead through four innings. She has a lot of power, added Coach Owen.

Both teams had good chances to score in the fifth inning. Minot State had runners at second and third and UMC had the bases loaded, but each team grounded out to end their scoring threats.

Katie Humhej (Sr. Surrey, British Columbia) finished off her brilliant day, and final start of her career, in the circle with two more scoreless innings, including a 1-2-3 seventh inning. Humhej went the complete seven innings, allowing just the one unearned run on just four hits and one walk, and she recorded seven strikeouts to lead the Golden Eagles to the 4-1 victory in game one of the doubleheader. She did great. Really cool to see her finish her final start with a win against a really good hitting Minot team, said Coach Owen.

GAME TWO

Minot State got off to a good start in the second game as they got two runs in the first inning. The Beavers got a one-out double and a two-out home run to right field to take the 2-0 lead.UMC got consecutive base hits from Jordan Peterson (Jr. Lakeville) and Querry with two outs but were unable to score in the inning as the game remained at 2-0 after one.

The Beavers added onto their lead in the third with three more runs. A bunt single led off the inning and the next batter doubled her in to make it 3-0. After a passed ball, another base hit brought in the runner from third. UMC made a pitching change and after they got an out, a groundout brought in another run to cap the scoring in the inning and leave the Beavers with a 5-0 lead.

Minot State got back into the scoring column in the fourth inning. A leadoff walk stole second and got to third on a groundout. A single to the pitcher, a wild pitch, and a groundout to the pitcher followed and yet the Beavers had not scored in the inning as the two runners remained in scoring position with two outs. However, they were able to get them home on a single with two outs that increased their lead to 7-0.Again, UMC got two base hits in the inning, this time from Avalos and Gabby Blomdahl (So. Duluth), but a groundout ended their chances of scoring in the fourth.

In the fifth inning, the Golden Eagles offense came alive as they scored seven runs in the inning to tie the game. Zarn, Sarah Velasquez (Fresh. Chino, CA), and Peterson were the first three batters and they all singled to load the bases. Querry was next and she hit a grand slam for her second homer of the day, her third of the weekend, and it brought UMC within three runs. She has two grand slams in her career she had one last year and that was in a shortened season, obviously, explained Coach Owen. Really cool to see her on Senior Weekend come around. They were not done though, with Rachel Jones (Fresh. Fort Collins, CO) getting a base hit and after a fielders choice, Leah Macias (Jr. West Covina, CA) also singled. Blomdahl followed those up with a two-RBI double to make it a one-run game at 7-6. After a pitching change was made, a catchers interference call put runners at the corners and UMC was able to score Blomdahl from third on a steal play to tie the game at 7-7.

Both teams were scoreless in the sixth inning before Minot State jumped back ahead with two runs in the seventh. The first two batters were retired, but a single and a two-run home run gave the Beavers the lead, 9-7.UMC got the tying run to the plate, but Zarn hit a hard line drive right at the second baseman to end the game and give the Beavers a 9-7 win in game two and a split of the doubleheader. I thought we finished the season really strong and I am proud of the team for that, added Coach Owen.

HINGHAM - The Hingham High School Crew team is racing again! HHS crew competed in their first spring race in 707 days on Saturday, May 1, against Phillips Academy in Andover. Both teams had strong performances and some tight races but the Hingham girls team swept with all four boats winning their races.

The teams competed in eight-boats (eight rowers and a coxswain), in 1,500-meter races for varsity boats, and 1,000 meters for novice (first year) rowers, on the Merrimack River in Andover. A sunny, crisp morning for racing, the rowers pulled against strong headwinds throughout the course and some crosswinds.

Our crews fared well in the wind. If rowing on the harbor teaches us anything, its how to handle wind, said Marika Kopp, head coach of the girls team.

Hingham girls first varsity (V-1) boat pulled out a win by 13 seconds. Racing for V-1 were Emma OHoro (coxswain), Charlotte Bogen, Kate Gallagher, Lilly Bryant, Anna Wagner, Olivia Wegener, Teagan Schnorr, Cassandra Dasco, and Claire Gallagher.

The boys first varsity boat lost by just two boat lengths to Phillips Academy. V-1 included Eric Smith (coxswain), Jack Magner, Tasman Claridge, John Rogan, Joe Decola, Luke Turnak, Keegan Mahon, Theo Grossman, and Leo Williams.

The girls second varsity boat prevailed over Phillips by more than three boat lengths. Rowing for V-2 were Alison Tocchio (coxswain), Devon Moriarty, Lily Murphy, Elena Bryden, Helena Orth, Zoe Angel, Anna Capodilupo, Sadie Neidecker, and Kathryn Feeley.

The Harbormens boys second varsity boat finished behind the Phillips team and included Michael Wegener (coxswain), Cam Santarelli, Griffin Perkins, Will DArcy, Ned MacDonald, Jake Moraites, Oskar Scholund, and Brennan Beitler.

HHS girls third varsity boat won by a lead of 26 seconds (or about four boat lengths), coxed by Maddie McPhillips, with Bayan Traiba, Abby Brown, Grace Desai, Elena Vasilakos, Alison Dasco, Ellie Dodd, Sophie Kerr, and Mazie Neidecker rowing.

Hingham boys third varsity came in behind Phillips to the finish. Racers included coxswain Eric Smith, and rowers Gabe Wagner, Nick Germain, Nathan Tesler, Logan Littell, Joe Delmonico, A.J. Rubel, Walker Shetty, and Michael Magner.

HHS boys fourth varsity boat lost by just 16 seconds to Phillips with coxswain Michael Wegener and rowers James Donelly, Adam Quinn, Colin Menuchi, Alex Hart, Charlie Rogan, Jake Robbins, Joe Cassidy, and Jack Burns.

Two Hingham girls novice boats (first year HHS rowers) competed against Phillips novice boat and took first and third places. The winning novice boat included Alexa Fox (coxswain), Sophie Kerr, Maisie Knies, Grace Desai, Bridget Sandler, Denley Bellows, Luka Gutierrez, Bayan Traiba, and Jordan Peterson. The second novice boat was coxed by Sophia Murphy with rowers Alison Dasco, Patti Ricci, Caroline Turnak, Genevieve Vale, Ellie Dodd, Nora Pluto, Ava Lydotes, and Mazie Neidecker.

In the first novice race for the boys, Phillips pulled ahead against HHS coxswain Harrison Kennedy and rowers Dylan Drew, James Barry, Joshua Bradshaw, Eamon Murphy, Jack Salem, Nikolaus Gibson, Alex Doggett, and Kyle Strauss.

In the second boys novice race, HHS competed against two Phillips boats coming in third, coxed by Harrison Kennedy with rowers Dylan Drew, Hunter Schultz, Jack Renna, James Feeley, Jake Kennedy, Nikolaus Gibson, Ryan Kost, and Kyle Strauss.

HHS crew has trained continually through the pandemic under coaches Kopp, Pat Houle, and Hayes Shea for the girls team, and John ONeill (head coach), Austin Letorney, and Jack Murphy for the boys team.

Last spring, rowers took part in a virtual season with coaches lending ergs (rowing machines) to all rowers and conducting practices and even races over Zoom five days a week.

The team practiced this past fall on the water, the only public high school team in the state to do so, and trained through the winter, erging with their coaches and cross training at Mass MVMT, Krigsman Yoga, and Cycle Town.

Additionally over the past year, six members of the girls team have set world records for rowing. Last June, then sophomores, Ella Niehoff and Devon Moriarty, both erged for 34 hours straight to jointly hold the under 19, lightweight longest continual row title.

This winter, senior Cassandra Dasco and junior Helena Orth rowed tandem (alternating at two-hour intervals) for 50 hours for the under 19, open longest tandem erg world record. Most recently, Ella Niehoff went for her second world record with senior Emma OHoro for the under 19, lightweight tandem erg world record, also rowing 50 hours.

So much has been made already of Oklahomas renewed depth and talent at the defensive back position coming out of spring football practice, but one important element can be easily overlooked.

Senior Pat Fields, a three-year starter, is coming back, too, when the season gets here in 116 days. He missed spring practice after needing a clean-up surgical procedure.

But Fields absence became a good thing for the Sooners. In addition to giving a seasoned veteran time off to fully heal his body, it also cleared a spot for defensive coordinator Alex Grinch to see what other players he has that can contribute at OUs multiple safety spots.

It definitely opened the door, coach Lincoln Riley said.

Senior Delarrin Turner-Yell, another three-year starter, got to play both the strong and the free safety with Fields gone. Turner-Yell is one of the Sooners most reliable DBs, but this spring he got to expand his game because his running mate was healing up. And senior Justin Broiles, Riley said, had the best spring hes had as a Sooner.

Others players benefited, too at multiple positions.

It gave some guys some great opportunities, Riley said, whether it was a guy who played a lot like Delarrin and then a chance to move him around defensively. It gave us a chance to move Broiles to a lot of different places. I thought he had a very strong spring.

It gave some of the young guys, like Bryson Washington, Key Lawrence and Jordan Mukes, an opportunity to get a lot more reps as well. It was a good thing for us in a lot of ways.

And the snaps those players got this spring allowed for other moves, like switching Justin Harrington from safety to cornerback, which looks like it could pay big dividends.

Key Lawrence

OU Athletics

Bob Stoops used to say he didnt need to see what guys like Adrian Peterson or DeMarco Murray could do in spring practice, so they often sat out. That allowed other players a chance to develop. Riley has the same approach.

If you are going to have somebody thats not able to participate in spring, Riley said, youd love for it to be a guy like that not that he doesnt need work and need to improve, he does but hes played a lot of ball around here as well.

Certainly for those young players, the added reps made a big difference for those guys.
