Baseball: Hillsdale vs. Findlay, 04/17/26, Game OneDaniel Derengowski and Megan Pidcock on the call for WRFH

The following is a special presentation of WRFH sports. The Hillsdale Chargers men's varsity baseball team will take on the Finley Oilers. As we're going through our starting lineups, the Hillsdale Chargers will begin out in the field, they're the home team. And starting for your Hillsdale Chargers, leading off is number 16. Guard Swenson. Second is number five. Rocco Tatura.

Number 11. Noah Hopkins. Hoppins. Batting cleanup is number 33. Will Lemon. Fifth is number 14. Jake Figman. All right.

Now, rounding off for the Chargers. Hispanic 7th, number 26, Ryan Wayne, eighth, number 18, Billy Portsky, and finishing out is number nine, Aaron Jusick. Starting on the mound is number 35, Brandon Smith, and catching for him is number 26, Ryan Weyhe. As we start off, is there anything that you're looking for from this Hillsdale team? You know, it's a beautiful day to be playing baseball. It's really nice outside. And I'm just looking to get some points on the board. They're playing Finley later today, too, and this weekend.

This is part of the doubleheader today, and then they'll have their next two of the series tomorrow. On Monday. Yes. Because the original games were moved for, weather. So they were originally supposed to be played tomorrow and Sunday. Now it's today and Monday. Leading off through this Finlay Orler's team would be number seven, Nick Palm, who is a catcher, sophomore out of Lyria, Ohio.

Following up will be number 42. Who actually had a name change is Daniel Keelan. Outfielder Sr. from Cincinnati, Ohio. I grew up in Cincinnati. Nice talent. Yeah, I like it. Produces good baseball players, apparently. Let's see if he represents your city well.

Yes. Now, batting third is number 17, Casey Maranick. He should be outfielder, senior, from Hillard, Ohio. Number seven is up to bat right now. Pitch. On the middle for strike one. Number seven is Nick Palm. He's an infielder for Finley.

Smith being ready to just wind up. Pitch is delivered too hot. ball one. It was one-in-one. She's delivered, pop fly out in between the gap between center and left field. That ball will drop as Palm reaches second for extra bases on a well-hit ball nearly to the, actually into the warning track and nearly to the fence. It's a good lead-off hit for the Finley Oilers. Now batting the right field, number 42, Keel and Daniel. Number 42, Keel and Daniel coming up to ball. with a runner on second, no outs.

One, just outside. Runner is a conservative lead at second with the shortstop, Aaron Jusick, holding him on. Just trying to want to stop. Pitch delivered, breaking ball, curved outside. It's it for count of two and one. Or, no, that was called a strike, one-on-one. Now it's at negative three.

Pitch delivered, followed off toward the Oilers dugout, the strike two, one and two. One more. Smith looking for a sign from his catcher. Ten seconds on the pitch clock. Delvers. Fastball just outside. Two and two count.

It's interesting that he's a lefty. I'm sure that changes the pitching plan that he has for them and affects their decision-making. Smith delivers. just outside fastball called ball three we have a full count Smith steps on the mound took a little of a break trying to see if he talked to his shortstop about the runner looks back delivers the pitch just too high it's ball four number 42 or sorry yeah 42 Daniel Keelan will advance to first base

still have a man on second. Number 17. Casey Maranick will come up to bet. He's a righty. Smith delivers the first pitch, looked a bit high and outside. The ball one. The shortstop and second basement are cheating towards the bag, but they're still off.

They're not holding them on too tightly. Still, the runner's got a conservative lead. And that ball is roped into left field. The runner goes home. There'll be no throw. Aaron looks to cut the second and it's an RBI single Finley has scored the first run of the game

No outs and a first and second It was good hit by Merrick Yes it was Number 15 Number 15 Luke Stephan Adding to Fleenup For the Oilers

Sorry two hits For the Oilers on three batters with one walk Smith Comes together Delivers Ball's way outside. Ball is batted down and kept in front of him by the catcher, which is number 26 Ryan Wehee.

At one and no count as Smith gathers himself on the mound. Looking in towards the catcher first sign, comes set, checks the runner at second, delivers the pitch. That's grounded to first. Over to second. Safe at second, safe at first, no throw. That ball was grounded straight to the first baseman who tried to look for the double play, but Runner was fast enough and had a good enough lead that he was safe at second,

and no play was made, bases loaded, no outs for Hillsdale. Bit of an unfortunate turn of events so far. Yeah. Number 22 is up to that. Gavin Smith. Yeah, Smith on Smith. Yes. looking for that first out

Smith loads grounds it and that is shot right past the first basement in the deep right field as one runner comes home the second

and the third is rounding third for the play safe talk about unfortunate turn of events a good play by Finley that unfortunately

resulted in quite a few home runs for against the Chargers today As Hillsdale's coach has called a meeting on the mound, they've just loved three runs off a RBI single and a three RBI triple. And they'll come together and they'll meet and they'll see what they can do.

The good thing is there's a lot of game left to hopefully come back from that. Considering it's just the top of the first. Finley dugout's been really loud. they've been really proud of performance so far and right now that error it wasn't recorded

as an error but that play at first where they went to second to try and get a double play they'll end up regretting that as you know with no outs man on third four runs already scored if he'd gotten that out he would have saved a run but that's just in retrospect

Smith comes set all outside That's a loose ball And that's thrown Catcher muffed The pitch got away from him And the runner from third came home and scored Smith was not able to get home in time

And Finley takes a 5-0 lead 12 Mason Myers up to bat It's a 2-0 count No one on the basis Got a piece of that, but End up bouncing off the catcher's glove And ending up in front of them That'll be a fall ball for strike one

To him one count Smith comes set Delivers Filed again, that ball was A little off Actually it was on the plate But a little closer to the edge And Myers was able to fall that back

To the backstop Smith comes set ready to deliver. The breaking ball up top did not come down far enough. It will be ball three, full count, three and two. Smith delivers. Fall off again. Mason Myers battling.

Smith forcing a third foul ball. We'll see what Smith does to try and fool him on this next pitch. Still a full count. That hit him. on that full count Smith left that pitch a little to inside and Nick the elbow of Myers who goes to first

Number 10, Kegan Snyder Number 10, Kegan Snyder The current catcher for the Finley Oilers comes to the plate So we have a timeout on the field Umph was given a new set of baseballs after those many foul balls and now Snyder

officially steps into the plate and the pitch clock starts ticking down Smith comes set Ready to deliver That ball inside nearly hit him Yeah I looked pretty close Yeah

I'd like to see that again Yeah Run out first Keep a conservative lead As Smith is a leftie Smith delivers way outside For ball two That was a strike

Oh he called that a strike Oh It looked outside to me but It did to me too actually but hey we'll take it. I called strike one-on-one count. Smith checks the runner at first. Delivers.

High and outside for that pitch, yeah. Got to wait and pause now. Smith comes set. Checks his runner. Speck delivers. Fowled off down into the Hillsdale dugout. Kegan Snyder or Ritey looking to bat and try and advance this run around the base.

and hopefully, you know, if you're a Finley fan, hopefully get a sixth run. Yeah. It is 5-0 at the top of the first. Called strike three. First out of the game. Yep. They look to be a looping curve ball. Now that in the third base number five.

That ball looks a little high and then broke. And I ever ruled that it broke low enough to be called a strike. So good first out for Smith. So number five, Mike's. Scorito comes up to the plate. Pitches low, ball one. Looks over, comes set, checks the runner, pauses for a moment. This is wind-up switch, and he hits Scorito.

Scurrito will go to first, a walk, and time is called. The umpire personally throws the ball back to the pitcher. Not sure if he said anything is that is the second hit batter of the game. Number 13, Drew Tucker. And number 13, Drew Tucker comes up to bat for the Finley Oilers. Man on first and second with one out. This is the bottom of the lineup, the Finley Oilers. Pitches in there for ball one.

Looked a little inside. This comes back. Second baseman playing closer to second base, looking to see if you could deat the runner, getting easy out. But it's the liver's runner goes to third. But that ball was hit to the second baseman, who muffled it as the runner from second who was stealing third bowl score. That would be a recorded first error for the Hillsdale Chargers.

As, you know, at the next batter, this is top of the lineup for the Oilers, McPalm. But it would lead off as he has runners at first and third at the corners as, see there are two pitchers no one pitcher warming up in the hillsdale bullpen we'll see if smith can make it to the end of the inning as he checks throws a pickoff attempt at the runner first baseman uh joshra board chef for the hillsdale chargers had to come off the bag to make the catch sorry correction i think that's will will layman layman yeah he's ready that runner goes to second The ball is cut off before he gets there. That's a clean steal a second. Smith knew he was going to go.

Wanted to get at least one pickoff attempt at him. Smith looks into the dugout. Ten seconds on the pitch clock comes set. It delivers a breaking ball. Called ball two. Two and no count. One out. Runners at second and third.

Smith comes set again. First sign delivers the pitch. That ball is ground to the second baseman. and makes a clean play at first. That will be an RBI single. That's number five. Mike Scorito comes home to score for the Finlay Oilers

as is now 7-0 at the top of the first. Number 42, Daniel. Number 42, Daniel. Yeah, Keelan Daniel. First pitch follows back to the back of the net. That drops down. So that will be strike one. on one count with two outs as Smith looks to get out of this inning.

They could use a change of pace. I'm to really stir things up. Smith comes set. Delvers. Called low for ball one. Smith looks like he wanted that. Smith comes set. It delivers the pitch.

That ball is popped up. Right fielder looks like he's under it and makes the catch for, out number three as Hillsdale gets out of the inning. Now, only allowing three hits, but a couple of Voltaim hits and a couple of walks with one error led to seven runs in this inning. Now, we'll come back to the bottom of the first inning in one minute. So you've been listening to 101.7 FM,

Hillsdale 101.7 FM here at the Chargers baseball game against the Finley Oilers at Lenda and Glenda Hill Stadium at the bottom of the first. Finley is pitching. Chargers are hitting, looking to match the 7-0 lead that the Oilers currently have.

Up first is... Number 16 guards, Swenson for the Hillside Chargers, as the Oilers will have number 19, Mr. Ethan Moyer pitching. It loads up. There's the second pitch. That'll be strike two on Svensson. Svenson's standout Hildesdale baseball player. Last game had two steals and an RBI.

It's more, gets in his windup, throws it. And Spenson battles that pitch off, goes foul and lands outside the stadium. The count is still 0 and 2. Hills, as Svensson looks to get on base and hopefully start a Chargers rally. And pitch start. That is roped right back up towards the pitcher. Quickly got out of the way and that goes almost directly over second base as Svensson gets a lead-off single.

And from Bartlett, number 32 Rocco Tenuda. Righty steps into the batter's box with Eric Swenson on first. It's more a right-handed pitcher can't check Svenson as much. that first pitch is in there for ball one. Svenson is a bit of a base runner. He's the most steals on this Hillsdale men's varsity baseball team, and he'll be looking to see if he'll take an aggressive lead as more. Come set.

There's a pitch inside for ball two. What looks over comes set. Checks guard at first. There's the pitch. Rocko pops that one up behind the plate. And the first basement comes over and makes the catch. Rocco Tanuta Pop Fly put out for the first basement number 22, Gavin Smith. Third for your Hillsdale Chargers is number 11, Nolan Hopkins.

Lefty hitter. and first pitch down the middle swinging strike one more comes set for pitch number two with 10 on the pitch clock sent it with the conservative lead pitch is thrown down low for ball one Finley dugout really wanted that one

one's across the board with one ball one strike and one out more comps that delivers and that ball is ropes almost hitting the umpire but it'll turn and finley turns a double play that pitch second baseman was able to field it cleanly i thought the umpire was the second baseman but he ended up getting out of the way and finley is able to cleanly make that double play ending the inning going into top of the second yep three up three down one hit a lot of one hit a lot loud, but we'll see you in one minute as we had to a commercial break. You've been listening to 101.1.1.7 FM. You're Hillsdale Chargers, men's varsity baseball. Join Hillsdale College in the Hillsdale community on April 25th for a free All-American celebration of America's 250th birthday featuring the Freedom 250 mobile museum, live music, food, family activities, and more. For more

information and details, go to hometown 250. That's the number 250. That's the number 250. dot hillsdale.edu. 11.1.7 FM or Hillsdale Varsity baseball team is currently down 70 at the second as that ball is fouled down the third baseline.

It's number 17 AC Murrick steps up to the plate. We currently have a B in the studio that we're watching and hopefully it gets out. We should, hopefully it doesn't mess up the crowd, Mike, too much. Second strike here. I'm sure the chargers are looking to make this very short, top of the inning.

Smith, who is also still pitching, delivers for ball one. Ball delivered, ball two. Looks like he's been going low. Two and two count. First batter of the inning. Smith checks with this catcher waiting until a later part of the pitch glass to come set. Delivers and that pitch is filed off towards the Hillsdale dugout. It's still two and two count.

Number 17, Casey Murak. Smith comes set. Delivers, grounded. Just gets back. Just gets by Aaron Jissick for a quick single. That ended up in left field but was. cleanly fielded by left-fielder and kept to a single base.

Pick off attempt from Smith. The runner was not far enough off the bag to see any real true attempt. Smith's on the mound comes set with 10 on the pitch clock. 15th Stifan comes to hit the DH for the team. So it delivers and hits his third batter that will send

Casey Murdoch to second with Luke Stefan now at first base as we welcome number 22 Gavin Smith to the plate who last time at bat was able to hit a RBI 3

RBI triple looks like they're switching out pitcher with for number 29 Colin Lange he'd been warming up in the bullpen previous to this.

How do you think he'll fare? Hopefully better in not hitting the batters. We'll see. He's a righty. So

now these batters are going to have to take a little bit to get adjusted as Smith was a leftian in that hopefully throwing, hopefully this change will throw them off a little bit. Hill's that looks to keep the damage to a minimum and, you know,

a little bit of a sticky situation with two-on, no-out. We'll see what Colin can do. In the meantime, the crowd noise might be a little quiet because there was a bee attempting to get in and unsuccessfully finding his way out. So I'm going to try and figure out that situation as we let Lang warm up here at the top of the second. spoilers currently have one runner on first.

One second to four. We'd like to remind you that this is game one of a two-game double header. As well as, we'll have two more games on Monday for you guys to tune into. The second game will be kicking out right around 5 o'clock, depending on how long this game goes. Based off this first inning, we'll lean on the more liberal side and say that this should go the full thing. three hours, if not a little more. This is a nine inning game.

Unless I would stand corrected, but... No, I think it is. I think it is nine innings. Yeah. All right, and that seems to be the end of the warm-ups. So I'm Gavin Smith, who last time up hit a triple to walk in to RBI three runners in. As Smith checks his bat, umpire signals for him to step into the box, and we're underway once again. Calange comes set His first pitch of the game

The run on first and second Delivers and hits the batter The fourth hit by pitch By Hillsdale in this game As Smith heads to first As the bases are now loaded Zero outs this inning In the sticky situation

Mm-hmm And comes set till about 10 seconds Five on the pitch clock delivers down the middle for strike one. It's a good third pitch to throw. You can strike in, get ahead, O and 1. And you come set again. Delivers outside ball 1. A 1 in 1 count.

An inch comes set. Need up, delivers towards home. Towards the outside of the plate, but called strike 2. One and two count. A pitch delivered. It's a foul tip as the runner went. It seemed to get a piece of it, and the catcher was not able to cleanly catch it,

but I returned to a one and two count. And still battling this Myers as pitch is delivered. That ball is flied out in fair territory, caught and left field. But that'll allow the runner from third to score on a sacrifice fly. We'll get Finley's eighth run of the game. Number 10, Keensteyer, Snyder, comes to the plate.

It's a man on first and second. One out now. From the set, delivers the first pitch. It's called for ball one. Pitch delivered, and that is flyed out to right field. It's going to be close, and it's dropped. Calls in as... are rounding the bases as the runner from second will score on that deep hit to right field.

Right field that made a really good effort trying to catch that ball. Tried to dive and get it but ended up just falling just short. As Finley will score another run here in the top of the second. Number five, Mike Scorito comes up to the plate, lines that ball into right field. just picked up and that will be an RBI single and he'll score two runs extending Finley's lead to 11 The score looks bad

right now so far but Finley only has six hits for their 11 runs A lot of that has been due to the large amount of batters walked by Hillsdale so let's see if they can fix that as and he throws a ball outside for ball one

to number 13 Drew Tucker Delivered runner goes Oh Catcher's pop time was good Thought he might have had him But throws a little To the left of the bag

And skipped into Aaron Jusick I believe was there to cover As runners safe At second The second stolen base For the Oilers this game And then comes set

which delivers far outside for ball two. Two and one count one out. Runner on second. Thosedale looks to get out of this inning. Then comes set. Pick off a tense. That ball goes into center field as the second basement wasn't able to field it cleanly,

but the runner stays at second and then comes back to the mound. Keeping an eye, making sure they don't steal another to get to third. runner goes that ball is chopped foul third base coach fields that ball pretty cleanly with his bare hands

former athlete I'm sure runner will come back to second base touches the bag and we are back in play and looks down towards the catcher comes set and delivers the pitch

that ball is grounded to Rocco at third fired over to first base. Good throw, good catch. That's the second out of the inning. Runner's second didn't even try for third. So Rocco was able to gun them out. I'm not sure if he checked the runner's second at all, but Rocco had a good arm to fill that cleanly and calmly

and get it over to first with some extra time to spare. As number seven, Nick Palm comes up to bat for the Finley Oilers. Another lefty. Pick-off attempt by Colin Lange. Lange, back on the mound, steps on, facing the catcher. First signal comes set, pauses, delivers, ball inside. See you. Palm for his, Nick Palm for his second, sorry, third at-bat for the game.

This is our lead-off hitter. It's just delivered for strike one. And the outside corner. One runner at second. Hopefully you can get third out here. Lange, delivers. Swinging, no contact, good strike two. Good for strike two, I should say.

Sorry, strike one. Nope, strike two. Corrected on the scoreboard. I'm going crazy. One and two count. Lange delivers, and that ball. solid contact roped in the center

as the runner from second makes for home there'll be no throw Damien's standing up as number seven Nick Palm gets hit gets another RBI

this game their fifth run of the inning at 12 in the game Hillsdale looking to close this out so they can hopefully get some things to match on the scoreboard.

Lange throws that ball just inside for ball one. It would be a fastball. Probably touch in the 80s, maybe a low 70s. Breaking ball, the same spot got him swinging. Number 42, Keel and Daniel. Up to bat, lefty for the Finley Oilers. One-on-one count, two outs. All right, first.

as Lange looks up to Livers and that ball's followed off towards the Hillsdale dugout for strike two do you think the third base coach

is saying it looks a little like he's having a word with his men at first doing a couple exaggerated movements yes Lange delivers

oh runner goes that ball is thrown into center field and gets off the base then doubles back as center field came up and brought that up. That is the second pickoff attempt

this inning to go into center. Hillsdale looks a little sloppy, but hopefully, you know, then gathered themselves here and get this final out. Lange, reading from his catcher. Come set. Ready to deliver.

That's the inning. Third strike. No much of a reaction there, but yeah, all strike three. As it is, 12 to 0 in London-Englena Hills Stadium. We'll be back in one minute. You've been listening to 101.7.

That's the number 2.50.hillsdale.edu. You're listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. We are at the Linda and Glenda Hill Stadium. It's not looking too great for the Chargers right now.

I have to say the Finley Oilers are up 12.0 at the bottom of the second. So, you know, Hillsdale could come back still. Yeah, they can certainly make an attempt as Ethan Moyer returns. Play it as Hillsdale on their cleanup batter right now. Number 33. Will Lehman. Lehman. Leeman, Lehman.

Loads. Comes in his wind-up. Delivers ball outside. No, that was a strike. Ooh. That's a strike group. that one but I'm just in the box what do I know?

Her delivers outside ball one. Yes, fall one. I looked very similar to me but what are you going to do? That's certainly

just went up again, delivers filed down underneath the catcher's mitt for strike two. Even more come set with a more unorthodox approach facing his dugout with his windup The start delivers that pitch up high for ball two.

Just commenting on his windup. He starts with his body facing his dugout, kind of off an off angle. Pitch is delivered, and that's roped into left field. That'll be a home run. Will Lehman solo home run to get Hillsdale on the board. That ball will be found in the parking lot after the game. Lehman delivers some advice. The next up batter number 14, Jake Figman.

As Hillsville tries to, he's going to attempt to rally here and hopefully get some runs back. Hopefully that can give them the momentum they need to get some points back here. Lehman. This just wind up delivers. It's an outside moving ball for strike one. That one started on the inside of the plate and just kind of drifted over. There's next pitch.

That ball, a little touch outside. Ball one, one-on-one count, nobody on, no outs. Then more, there's wind up, delivers. Ooh, gets Jake Figman swinging for strike two. Pitch delivers. That ball is off the catcher's mitt to the backstop. Figman watches that one go by for ball two. Two-and-two count.

as Mr. Moore steps back on the mound in his home. So windup, goes through his windup, delivers, and gets Figman swinging for strike three out number one. Tyler Sowers. He comes up to bat. He's a righty. Moore steps on. He starts his windup, throws.

Tad high or tad outside, it's called ball one. steps on that says catcher begins his windup delivers that ball's popped up first baseman moving into fall territory

tracking tracking caught cleanly fielded well second out of the of the inning Oilers throw that ball around

the more steps back onto the mound and looks to start the at-bat for number 26, Ryan Wehey. Delivers, and that's a ball far outside. No chance of that one. One-0. This pitch is delivered for strike one. The outside corner, good pitch, one-on-one.

It just wind up, delivers. Paints that outside corner again for strike two. solid pitching right now out of Finley. That steps in. Up starts, pitches delivered. When catcher was not able to field it cleanly, as that looked low in a way for ball number two. Ryan Wheat looks to get on base,

two, two, and two. At fifth pitch is thrown away outside the box as we now have a full count with nobody on two outs. wind up that ball is far outside for ball looks like Ethan Moore was looking to get him to chase

on that pitch but you get to go maybe he was trying to place it in that upper corner which he'd hit two times previously that's that bad but it was not lucky that third time. Chargers have someone on base now it's the first

Moore comes that delivers that is strike one swinging to number 18 Billy Portsky Perutsky Apologies There comes

set, delivers again that is foul that's tips foul just behind the catcher for strike number two as now down

02 in the count two outs Roots Moore delivers home low and away for ball number one more looks toward his catcher no longer in the wind-up just going from the stretch and delivers that ball is far outside for bowl two see if he's priming it wouldn't be surprised that was

a fast ball up high and outside and wouldn't be surprised if we were to see a slider or a curve ball it starts high and inside it moves down out in the way that's that pitch breaking ball I can't confirm what it was, but definitely fooled. Perotsky. Yeah, Billy Parosky as. Goilers get out of that inning only allowing one run as the Chargers are now down and now they're only down 12 to 1.

We are here at Lenda and Lenda Hill Stadium on the first game of a two-hitter today against the Finley Oilers. Chargers are currently down 12 to 1, top of the third. So hoping for a quick inning so they can get to that and get some points back. See, Halesdale has only given up seven hits for their 12 runs. A lot of walks involved in that. So we'll see if number 29, Colin, Then Lang can clean that up and get hells still out of the sending as he delivers for ball one. Number 17 is up to bat for the Oilers.

Lang throws that pitch inside, high and up. Ball number two, two-out-out-out. Casey Maruniac, right-handed hitter. Ball's hit, popped far. Nope, that's fair. It looks fair. that is tracked down by the second basement and caught good pitch and good catch made by billy parrotsky number 18 who was the last up to bet in the bottom of the second as score is still 12 to 1 but

one out it's first high hillsdale started with an out let's see the thing keep this going Ball 1 is delivered far outside. Right under Colin Lang. And Gingz's windup delivers that ball right down the middle for strike one. Lang. Coming set later in the pitch clock. Gens his wind up near six seconds delivers. Ball outside.

Lang trying to get as much as he can out of this pitch clock. Stepping on. Hasn't come set yet. eight seconds on the pitch clock comes set. Let's just wind up delivers with five seconds left, and there's that ball tad too high for ball three. It's a three-and-one count now. One adjustment, and I keep commenting on the time he's taking,

is that he seems to be going slower and more concentrated in his pitches, and I think that's benefiting him as he winds and delivers. Next pitch is that is filed off for strike number two. We're at a full count. Our signals delaying the pitch clock start, but now that started laying a stepped on comes set with 15 seconds a little extra time that he was given starts his wind-up delivers that's high for ball four number 15 Luke stephen that the plate will advance as number 22 Gavin Smith will come to the plate who is hit by pitch on his last trip to the plate

our signals for the pitch clock to start Smith batters by the batters by Lange. Starts, runner goes. Throw is too slow. No, he's out. They hit him. Second out of the inning. Good play. Yeah, good, fantastic tag, but I believe that was Aaron Jusick,

who came over from shortstop to tag him. It was a close play. Actually, it might have been the second baseman. You know, there, but that was a good play, as that was and the next pitch was filed off for strike one. Up to bad is number 22, Gavin Smith. In correction, the first pitch that was thrown was called to strike

as we now have an 0-and-2 count. Hillsdale could get up, could get out of this inning, threw up three down. Pitch is delivered, that ball's high. It's number 22, Gavin Smith. Tall batter, bigger zone.

Lange was probably looking for that upper, of it, but I did not agree as Lang delivers the pitch, followed off by Smith. Kevin Smith, 6'5 senior out of Cincinnati. It's also a pitcher and an infielder playing all around. Next pitch is delivered. Ooh, close. That ball is a tad high for Smith or a little bit inside. They didn't mix of both, but that was called ball two, as we have a two and two count with two outs, nobody on.

Line comes set, delivers, followed off again by Smith, really battling in this count, waiting, waiting for his pitch, fighting to stay alive. So, Lane comes back, mound as Smith actually stepped off, stepped out of the batter's box, got some extra time. Lange comes set. It's ready to deliver. It was the first pitch wildly outside. Catchers not able to fill it cleanly. This is out. Ryan Wehi, still catching for the Chargers.

Lehmann comes set on the mound. Swine up pitches. There's thrown down low for ball four. And Smith will see first base. Another walk from the Hillsdale Chargers. It's been a bit of their crickers. tonight today as they put base runners on and Finley's been able, once those base runners are on, they've been able to get a hold of the ball and score a lot of runs.

We'll see if Hillsdale can escape this and can't go three-up, three down anymore, unless they get a, you know, they can't go through up three down. But we'll see if they can get another pickoff attempt is pitch number one, batter number 12, Mason Myers. is filed off for strike one. Pitch thrown, strike one on that outer side part of the plate. It's an 0-2 count. Another strike fouled off, went over the protective netting

and behind outside of the stadium. So still 0-2 with two outs. Skunlange looks. He's got this inning come set, delivers. Pitch a little too high, call for. ball one. Good attempt. We'll see if he tries to tunnel his next pitch and fool this better. Come set. Ready to deliver outside and that is grounded. Good play by the second baseman but thrown the wayside and now I'll play at second called out as that was a wild throw from the second

basement to the first baseman went back, hit off the dugout and took a lucky bounce straight to the I believe pitcher who was able to make the play at, he was able to make a throw to second where Aaron Chesick was able to tag him out. Running second looks a little upset, a little cranky, but not sure he really needed that. And we'll be back in 30 seconds. You've been listening to Radio Free Hillsdale

You're listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. As the Your Hillsdale Chargers men's varsity baseball team is down 12.000. 12 to 1. To be seen the Oilers, as the announcers talking about a signature day for all the players. After game 2 today.

Not sure anyone want that too much, but... Hey, maybe game 2 will be better than game 1. We are at top of the... Sorry, bottom of the third, with Aaron Jusick, stepping up to the plate, the bottom of the lineup for the Hillsdale Chargers.

As pitch is delivered, it was a foul-tipped hit off Aaron hit off Jusick and in the play, but it was rolled, you know, since it was hit off of him, it's a foul ball, it would be strike one as the chargers. Here's Aaron J-Sik comes ready for the pitch. That is another, that is ball one thrown to him. as Ethan Moore still in the game having only allowed one run through two innings. To keep his RA up as delivers his next pitch. And Jusick hits that ball deep into center.

Centerfield is backing up. Makes the catch for out number one. A solid amount of oomph on that probably went about 370, 360, 370 in the center. It's cleanly fielded at the center field. Unfortunate Mr. Jisick, as we get to the start of the lineup with Guard Swenson. Lefty hitter. Ball was inside for ball one. Svenson was earlier today, but was doubled up.

See if he can repeat. Nice. The second part as next pitch, wasn't sure if Svenson checked, but I'm called Strike 1. on that. We won't be sure if it was a natural or swinging strike. But it counters one in one with one out, no one on base. It delivers and filed off. Where's the Hillsdale dugout?

Yeah, right into his players there. A little bit of friendly fire. I don't love to see it, but it happens. I'm going to get someone on the bases. More delivers. And Svenson tips that again. I think that might have hit the ump Oh yeah

I took the face mask off backs around and get a bit of a break looks like it hit him up high taking a break

his trainer comes out on the field to check on the ump both coaches now over to give him ump gets a drink of water from the trainer looks like he's going to tough it out

that's And applause given for the ump. Sensen comes back to the plate. Continues at bat. He's down one and two with one out. More begins his wind up, delivers. That ball is another solid hit into center. This one, not a near, not as low as his first hit, but on the same path. It was on the left. Actually, a little clearly towards the left second base. and fencing is two for two on the day. So he reaches first.

32 Rocco tuna steps up to the plate, which is delivered about head height for ball one. We'll see with a ready pitcher of Svensson, still taking a bit of a conservative lead. Just delivered for strike one. Count is now one-on-one with one out, and spenson on first. It's delivered ball two.

Just outside. Keep an eye on the runner on first. See if they're going to risk it. It's an known base Steeler. Picture checks him. It just thrown.

Looks low. Yeah. Low for ball three. Three and one count. Tarako steps back in and looks to either take a walk or advance fencing. Breathe some more life into this game.

Where delivers, ball outside. Oh, nope. Rocco lost his bat and was walking to first. Thought that was ball four, but I'm calling back with strike two. We have a full count. One out. And on first.

This pitcher really likes to put things on the edge. A lot of close calls. It's going to come set five seconds on the pitch clock. This is wind up. That ball is hammered foul. too far for the right fielder to catch that was right up against the bullpen of the Hillsdale Chargers in right field should say that will be a uh cold a bonus pitch for Rocco as he steps in with the full count again so uh even more still on the mound

comes set ready to deliver is it and that's chopped fielded by the third baseman who gets fencing out at second, but Rocco is safe at first. That ball was hit, it bounced off the turf and went up pretty high, and the third basement had to jump up to get it. Tough play, but it will get fencing out at second and made an attempt for a double play at first, but Rocco was fast enough to beat it out. Nolan Copens up to bat.

for the chargers. Just delivered. It looks low for ball one. Two outs, man on first. See if Hillsdale can do anything with this with more still pitching. Filed off off the back netting. About hit the Empire again.

Coming back off the knitting. Should build a bunker for them. Yeah, for real. So, 101 count, two outs. And man on first. pitcher slowly checks him delivers that is

hit foul bounces right towards the first baseman but in play off in there as Rocco returns

tags up on first we're back in play with a one and two count two outs one on second baseman looking getting closer to the first

pitch delivered looks low but I sure really wanted that call. Lucky for Coppins that is able to stay in this count with 2-2. Pitch

delivered. All is chopped. Right done. It's in the basement. Sorry, short stop. Makes the play, throws the first. It's a close out, but gets Finley out of this inning with no damage done.

You're listening to Chargers Baseball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. You're listening to What's in a Name on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. Today we'll be taking a trip to one of the most famous cities in the world. New York, New York. Its origins start back in 1624 when a group of Dutch colonists settled on Manhattan Island, founding what came to be known as New Amsterdam. When the British gained control of the area in 1664, King Charles I gave the lands to his brother,

the Duke of York, temporarily changing the city's name to New York. This became its permanent title in 1674, a full century before the founding of the United States. Another nickname you may have heard for the city is The Big Apple. This was popularized in the 1920s by horse racing journalist John J. Fitzgerald. Jazz musicians also started

using the term further spreading the name in the late 1920s and 30s. It slowly died out but was brought back in tourist campaigns in the 1970s, solidifying its place as the Big Apple. This is What's in a Name. My name is Megan Pitcock, and you're listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7.

Welcome back to Chargers Baseball on Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM. If that voice sounded familiar, that was me in my show that I do for radio, what I'm not calling baseball games, which is honestly most of the time. So, we're at the top of the fourth. The Chargers are currently down 12 to 1 and looking to make it a quick, quick start. of the inning and get back to hopefully get some runs as uh kegan schneider for the uh university of finley oiler steps up to the plate see if hillsdale can get out of this quickly as uh colin lang still pitching for the chargers no one in the uh bullpen just yet delivers his first pitch strike one Good start for the Chargers for this inning.

If you can keep this momentum. Lange come set. Ready to deliver. Throws. Down the middle. Probably a little low, but... Strike two. Yep.

Good pitch. Ahead, 02. Let's see if the Chargers can get this out. I'll be looking at an off-speed pitch here, or maybe a fastball high and up. Breaking ball, far and away. then comes set ready to deliver

so our B makes a little bit of noise in the crowd mic that ball is tad inside and up for ball two two and two count nobody on nobody out so Lank steps on

comes set five on the pitch clock Lange delivers that ball is followed up first basement making an effort but that ball and foul. And the field to the right of the stadium. Yeah, out of play, unfortunately.

But still, good pitch. A bit of a battle going on here. That was the fifth pitch delivered. We look for pitch number six, two and two. Delivered, popped up again, going foul. First baseman looking to make a play. Out of play again, same field. A little closer, though.

Mm-hmm. A little more spin. Hopefully keep that in play. And then they're out as that was pitch number six. Still two and two count. Nobody on, nobody out. It's laying on the mound. Just comes set.

You need to pitch. It's motion. Check to swing. That's a ball. Yeah. Full count. Yeah, full count. Call the ball.

Catcher went. challenge for the first base hump called safe did not go so we now have a full count just delivered ball four that just about thumbs up charges afternoon right now where a lot of great effort going in a lot of great play a couple opportunities but and finley gets another runner on base. as number five Mike Scrito comes up to the plate Empire signals for the pitch clock to start

a tad late is Lang delivers outside for ball one runner conservative lead at first it's a tad bit more aggressive now but the reason is Lang delivers outside corner for strike one

that's good Mm-hmm. I think checks his runner. Delivers. Ooh, inside pitch. Looks close to hitting him, but better swings. Files it to the backstop. Strike two, you've been one and two count now.

Getting a little interesting, hopefully. Hopefully. Come set. Mound delivers the pitch. Ooh, good attempt at framing it, but umpside just tad outside. agree with them so we now have a two-and-two count running on first nobody out the charges are playing a little bit more in from when they usually are hopefully trying to turn two as that is strike three batter got a piece of it but our catcher number 26 Ryan wee was able to hold on and screw the out

for the chargers number 13 for the oilers is up to bat drew Tucker It gives the pitch outside We get the batter swinging That was nice That was nice Nice swinging and a miss Got a lot of air there Come set

Delivers Outside Bowl 1-1-1 count one out One-on first doesn't Look isn't looking to be That aggressive They don't really need to be When you're up 11 runs

Better stay conservative and make opponent work for each and every out. No reason to give them any as that next pitch is fouled out of play for strike two. To the same area as the last few fouls were to the right outside of the Hillsdale dugout. I should get a bucket and just start collecting. Breaking ball came down. I'm called it strike three after a bit of a moment of pause. Hillsdale gets a second out.

This is what we like to see. Yeah, especially. The shortstop number seven. Come in a little bit more confidence here. I'll have a few runs in the second, but it's bowed back and allowed zero in the third. And we'll see if he can continue the zero runs loud streak into this fourth inning. As he comes set and delivers, strike one. Oh, the R.B is back.

Still. Same high. Yeah. Number seven, Nick Palm, up to that. Like delivers inside for ball one. One-on-one count. Top of the fourth. Come set.

Checks his runner. Delvers. That's ground to the shortstop who makes the play at second. for the third out of the inning. As Hillsdale escapes, the second straight inning with zero runs loud, you'll come back to us for the bottom of the fourth. You've been listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM.

Visit thegramomimit.com for more tips and tricks. You're back.

You got it. Sorry. Welcome back to Linda and Glinda Hills Stadium. Hillsdale Chargers are down to fold to one. The bottom of the fourth. Come up to bat. Hopefully trying to shrink this lead. When the lives come on, everybody's...

A little bit of country music has number 30. Will Lema. It comes up to that. From Dallas, Texas, which might explain the country music. Even though the score is 12-1, they've had seven hits, the Oilers and three for the Chargers. That ball is Ropes. First pitch into the gap.

That'll be a stand-up double for the Chargers. Nice solid hit. Good start to the inning. To the bottom of the inning, I should say. You know, 14 more of those. Interesting choice of music. I'd prefer it overcountry. Jake Figman comes up.

Still pitching for the Oilers is number 19, Ethan Moore. out for his fourth straight inning as Fickman's seeing him for the second time. Hopefully he can make this work. Call strike one. So Fickman nods. I'll just strike on an O one count as the Oilers are actually going to hold the runner

at second fairly close. Second baseman playing almost on top of the bag as that pitch is fouled off strike two. Fickman steps back into the box, ready to see the next pitch. Income set, ready to deliver. Checks the runner. Livers. Breaking ball gets Figman on it.

That'll be the first out for the Oilers. Tyler Sowers from Wheaton, Illinois. A black hole of Chicago. He steps in. Runner's still on second. looking to get him home or delivers strike one

on the middle short stop playing fairly deep just on the edge of the infield comes set ready to deliver checks his runner delivers high head level

for ball number one one one one one's across the board those don't can get another 11 runs. Tie this game up. Another pitch. Swinging is Tyler Sowers.

Didn't get a piece of it. It's now down 1 and 2. Ethan Moore turns to the mound. Come set. Ready to deliver. Checks the runner twice. Delivers. Ooh, close.

Low and away. But call the ball. It's now 2 and 2. Sowers gives an extra life is that pitch was close. The pitcher wanted it. Pitch clock reset called for it as Sauer stepped out of the batters box. Delivers the pitch. That ball is hit well into right field and it is caught.

So that ball gets down. A runner in second went halfway between second and third looking to score. But that ball was caught. and he will stay at second. It's a pop-out. It will be recorded. 26 Ryan Wehi. Steps up to the plate.

Two outs. Runner on second. Let's see what he can do. Pitch delivered. Breaking ball for strike one. Our checks with his catcher. Five seconds on the pitch clock comes set. Delivers.

That ball is grounded foul. down the third base line. Some more advice given out by the Finley dugout about fielding as wee steps back in trying to cut down at this Finley lead or comes set.

Second base been really leaning over. That is a foul ball. It didn't look foul. Did you call it foul? Yeah, I'm called a foul, which will send, third basement had no chance to throw the runner out at first. A bit of a lucky break there for Finley.

Not sure they needed it, but that will send the runner who ended up going to third. I'll send him back to second. So we will have an 0 and 2 count, a bit of an unlucky break, really, for the Hillsdale Chargers. It looks like they were just about to get something going. Will Lehman is the runner on second base. Number 33. Oh, come on a second. Are you sure?

It would be a challenge. Finley has a bit of a shift on with second baseman playing to the left of second base. Really looking to get play out there to get the runner on second out. Beatrice does we see if we have a history of hitting to the left of the pitcher's mound. it would be a reasonable strategy. I know this strategy is banned in major leagues, but I guess it hasn't caught up in college. That pitch is delivered, thrown wide,

or thrown outside. Healthy distance out there for ball one. I have to ask a couple guys on the baseball team. That's what Finley is doing is legal. I'm not sure what the difference between college and major league rules are. But next pitch is delivered for ball too. What? They're playing to the left.

Yeah. Typically, major league, you have to have, you draw a line from home plate to second. You have to have two on each side. They have to be in the infield. You're super strong out. Yeah. Almost got away from the catcher,

and we could have seen extra base. Stolen, but nice field. Three and two, full count. Runner. We'll see if he goes Or he delivers Oh, got him chasing Strike number three

That is End of the inning Chargers Didn't score any runs there And we'll see you again At the top of the fifth You've been listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 11.7 FM

Temperatures rising to near 64 by 9 a.m. Then falling to around 49 during the remainder of the day.

Sunday will be mostly sunny with a high near 47. That's your Hillsdale area forecast and I'm Alessia Sandella on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. Welcome back to Linda and Glenda Hills Stadium. I'm listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 1-11.7 FM. Hillsdale Chargers are still down 12 to 1 2 scoreless innings from the

bombarding that Finley was able to do in the first two innings scoring 12 and 2 off 7 hits, two errors. As Hillsdale scored one run off four hits key contributing factor for the oilers. Since Ben Hillsdale had walked a lot of batters,

but recently, pitcher number 29, Colin Lang, was able to get it under control and has kept it scoreless for these two innings as he is still starting with some activity in the bullpen right now, but he, you know, still out there, gets called strike one.

Back on the mound delivers. Ball one that skipped away from the catcher. It seemed to be low. Playing comes set, delivers. Call ball two, and this is to Keelan Daniel, Finley. The batter who is second in the lineup for the Oilers. Come set, delivers, down the middle for strike number two. two two and two count.

Let's see if Lang could start the inning off on high note. Getting out. Lots of full counts this game, I feel. A lot of extra pitching as Lang delivers. Far outside. It's called it. A full count. Yep.

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. I might have jinxed it. I'll say nothing about what's going to happen. We're just going to let it happen. Pitch delivered, fouled off. Lange put that ball a little high, little up, but still in the zone as Keel and Daniel took a swing at it, followed it up high towards the netting and would have gone into the upper rows of the stands. Lang squares up, gets in his windup, delivers.

Another foul pitch, this one delivered over the dugout. Way out to the left. Daniel, just moving that. ball closer and closer fair. Mm-hmm. Either of them were in play, but... Let's see as pitch is delivered far outside,

no chance with that one. Keelan gets... Sorry, Keel and Daniel, two first names. Daniel gets the walk. Fortunate. Hillsdale's infielders creeping in a little bit, looking to hopefully turn a

double play. This pitch is delivered. It's number 17. Casey Murriac. Strike one. Laying back on it. Bowles grounded straight to the third basement Rocco. Over second, back to first. Called safe at first, out at second. Close play. Much you can do there, but it's a good attempt. Almost turned to double play there, but I'm pulled safe. It's a close. Good effort. Mm-hmm. So number 15, Luke Steffen steps in. One runner on first. Pitch delivered for strike one.

It's close. Left-handed hitter. The pitch looked a little bit high, call for ball one. One-on-one count, one out. Runner on first. See right here, top of the fifth. Linkin set, pick-off attempt. too close

batter wasn't on the complete balls of his feet but was able to get in low safe at first look as laying organizes himself and

runner goes that pitch is fouled off sent towards the Hillsdale dugout for strike number two got a one and two count One out. Top of the fifth against the Finley Oilers.

Laying comes set. There's a pitch, and that is sent into left field. Whatever left field there's under it. Good catch. They would cleanly field it and deliver it to the infield. That is the second out of the inning. Jake Figman, number 14, with the catch for the Hillstale Chargers to get the out.

Seems that left side of the base, Rocco, Aaron, and Rocco, Gisick, and Figman are all accounting classes with me, so that's a nice little fun fact. As Smith is at bat, gets a fall tip on first pitch for strike one. It's a pretty pitch delivered high

in the zone, but still roll the strike, oh and two. A little bit of a breaking ball it looked like, but it's a little fast in the thing's toolbox is that pitch is followed off once again. Ball is delivered back to the mound to Lang. It's looking to get Hillsdale out of this thing with minimal damage. Two outs. Runner on first. Two strikes.

Lang comes set. Livers. Runner goes. That ball is lined. to center field and caught. They get out of it. Still 12 to 1. You've been listening to Chargers

I'm listening to Hillsdale Chargers Baseball on Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM. We're at the bottom of the fifth. Chargers are down, 12-1, against the Finley Oilers. About to see if they can get some runs back and get the score a little closer. This is the first game of two today. Double header for today is,

I believe, oilers pitcher Ethan Moore is going to remain out there for his fifth inning of duty. It's our bumblebee And the booth is still here And making noise in the crowd mic More delivers strike one Two batterer Look at his number after this pitch

It's Billy Paratsky number 18 Nice Yeah A ball thrown Far outside It'll be a one-on-one Count Nobody on nobody out

Or delivers another pitch Ooh, bit of a breaking ball inside for strike number two. Kind of fooled Brotsky. The count's now one and two. It delivers. Brotsky gets a piece of it, but that's caught as a flyout to right field. It's the first out. As bottom of the order, Erjcic comes up to bat.

Nilsdale looking to make something happen in this game as, uh, just sick. Ready for the pitch. Comes delivered. Checks his swing, but called strike one. A looking. Pitch moved a little bit towards the outside, but still stayed within the paint. Far out wide on that one. The first ball.

Yep. Let's see. Next pitch delivered. Strike two, outside corner. One, two, count. Nobody on, nobody out. See if Aaron can, or sorry, Jisick, Aaron Jysk can get around on it. Quick pitch.

Pops fall. Let's behind, the building that we're in to call the game. Out of play. Let's see if we can snag one as we head out after this game. stick around though because the second game of the double header will happen immediately right after this as another pitch delivered that one in the turf bounced up and over and behind the catcher in the ump for ball number two as we now have a two and two count more winds up delivers Aaron gets a piece of that one sends it in the gap between center and

left field gets a stand-up double the ball is cut off early before in a shallow part of left field as Hillsdale gets a base runner hopefully they can do something with it

especially coming to the top of the lineup Gerd Swenson who has been two for two with a few solid hits up the middle if he can repeat what he did the first two times he can get an RBI as Jisick is a fast enough base runner as just he actually breaks for third and he's safe nice I think that's the first successful steal on the Chargers part today just as I was mentioned of Jusick's speed he takes advantage I don't believe MIR checked him actually

is routine as Svensson hits a line drive foul ends up hitting up against the bullpen and check that angle keep that fair as he has a one-on-one count with one-out and one man on

next pitch is delivered breaking ball full Svensson as that is a strike two for or sorry, MIR, comes up on the mound, goes in his wind-up, delivers,

and that is a check-swing grounder that will earn a sacrifice grounder, RBI, as Benson is out at first, but Gisick will score from third as the charges are now only down

12 to 2 as Rocco. comes to the plate. It's just delivered. And that'll be ball one. Next pitch. Ooh, down low. Boko Tintana gets lucky on that one.

Ball two. Oh, and two count. Two out. Next pitch. Ooh, outside corner for strike number one. Two and one count. This pitcher really likes the outside corner. Yeah, it's been doing pretty well this.

game, you know, two runs across five innings. Rocco lines that one into shallow left, earns himself a single as the left filter cuts it off and prevents extra bases. There's a native winner number. No answer comes up to bat. So it's not mer. Checks Rocco at first. Not sure Rocco's going to steal, but first pitch popped up. in the fields.

I think I just heard that one drop on the other side. Take a moment to acknowledge the Hillsdale Club Cross Country team running around the just went behind the left field now. They're taking this as part of their course. Next pitch is delivered fall one. One-on, two out. It's a beautiful day for sports. I saw the tennis team.

work on my walk in too. Pitch is delivered and that is hit solidly in the right field but it's foul, goes foul, hit up against the wall. I believe that's the Academy team. It might have been Hillsdale Academy.

I think I saw some Hornet logos out there which is the logo for our academy. MIR can set ready to deliver the next pitch one and two count to the foul ball. That is rips down, easy play for the short stop.

Draco was unable to beat him that to second. It would have been a really fast runner. But play as Hillsdale scores another one, the bottom of the fifth, which is now 12 to 2. And we'll see you in 60 seconds. You've been listening to Chargers, baseball on Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM.

The Chargers are currently down 12 to 2 at the top of the 6th. We were able to get a run in last inning. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going, momentum going in this one.

Number six, Nate Albany's comes in for relief in the top of the sixth inning. Let's see as a throwdown to second was well put. Number 26 of the Hillsdale Chargers, Ryan Wehey is still catching. Number 12 for the Finley Oilers. Mason Myers comes to the plate. Finley hasn't scored a run in three innings. So they can try and change that, but hopefully not. Albany's throws high and up for ball one.

I'm set ready to deliver the next pitch. It's a popped foul out of play for strike one. Lots to collect today outside of the stadium. Getting into the foul ball budget of Hillsdale. These teams are. Next pitch from Albanyes is delivered and that's too high. Ball number two. It takes a bit of a moment to relax on the

amount. Come set. About 10 seconds left. Just delivered low. Strike one. I'm sure I was strike two. I forgot about the fall ball, but that one better. Didn't like that call, but

unfortunate for the charges, we got it. And it's two-two count, nobody on, nobody out. Albany's these motion delivers. Another swing and a miss. Yeah, catcher dropped it, but gets the tag, securing the yellow. out and it's the first out of the inning. It's the Chargers first throw around to the game.

It's always good to see. Rocco Tintura delivers the ball to his pitcher. And we'll see if they can keep this momentum up. Number 10, Keekin Snyder, catcher steps up to the plate. He moves ball far outside, low in away, hits the turf for skipping up over the catcher's mint and the backstop. So I'm gonna set on the mound, ready to deliver the next pitch. So his motion delivers for ball one, sorry, ball two, apologies.

Only steps back in, steps back on the mound, come set, ready to deliver. This motion, another pitch, third straight, out and away. He's taking some time, walking around the mound a little bit. and steps on comes set with 10 seconds left nods at his catcher begins his motion throws a fourth ball to the backstop sorry fourth ball long away this one goes all the way to the backstop and Snyder takes a slow try at the first base now that in the third base from number five Mike Certino so Certino steps in five on the Finley Oilers. One out, the top of the sixth.

Checks the runner. Pauses a bit, 10 seconds on the pitch clock, pitch delivered, inside for ball one. Five, next Grito, waiting for the next pitch, sees it far outside for ball two. The Albany's makes a bit more time to refocus

and rethink himself as he's thrown at least three or four straight balls. Let's see if he can fix that. Pitch up, down and away again. Seventh ball out far to the outside. This is now a three and a count for the Hillsdale Charger, for the Chargers pitching against the Finley-Orenlers.

B is back in the Cobbike. Should name him. Right. And then is a fourth straight ball to advance the runner to set. And now there's two on, one out as catcher calls timeout. Chatting with the pitcher and... Infield timeout.

Try to think of a name that's a baseball pun for the B. Nothing comes to mind right now. Oh. Instead of pinstripes, B stripes. I just call them stripes. I like stripes. I aren't stripes to B. You hear any buzzing, it stripes the bee.

Not better, the second base on number 13, Drew Tucker. Yeah, timeout over. Drew Tucker steps in. Face, Nate, Albanese. Hopefully that talk gave him the push he needed to get his head in the game. It's delivered. Ooh, called Strike 1 looking. It's a good outcome.

Mm-hmm. Just gave him the motivation he needs. Badgers first and second. Double play opportunity at every base but home. Falls delivered. Ooh. Turn out top. Yeah, a little high.

One in one count. All the knees comes set. Checks his runner. Second baseman dancing a little bit. It's just thrown high. Yeah, it looks pretty close to eye level. All of these comes. set it once again

ready to deliver ends in motion throws it outside for ball three three and one counts as I'm looking at stripes he's really trying to get out but Albany's come set

on the mound five seconds on the pitch clock delivers with three that ball goes to the backstop for ball four a couple words exchanged between the pitcher and the catcher faces are loaded for the Finley Oilers.

So we get back to the start lineup with Nick Palm leading off. Who has the lead off? I think it's his fourth time up to bat. Yeah, fourth or fifth? It's up there. Yeah, fourth, fourth time. Sounds about right. It's delivered, hooked foul.

We'll be able to see on the app and check. But I believe this is his fifth time, at least, as They were able to, he was able to, might be a sixth as they were able to get around. He had his third at bat in the second inning. There's next pitch from, May Albanese has delivered. Ball one. One-on count went out. Two on at second and third as stripes the beat just fell down the front of our window.

Albany's delivers, and that ball is shot solidly. caught by the center fielder that's cut off off, not cut off, the ball bounces to the catcher, and that keeps a runner. That third from scoring, he took off a little early and didn't tag up. If he had tagged up, he would have plenty of time to get in, but a little bit of a mental error that the third base coach is letting him know about. Bases are still loaded for Finley, two outs, looking for a third.

pitch on its way. That is popped into center field as one will score. Second batter heads around and he will score as well. That is a two-run single for Keelan Daniel.

Oilers are now up 14-2. That extends their lead as we will await. Next pitch. It's made all Albanyes steps in ready to deliver.

There steps up on the mound as Casey Muranak. That's in the batters box. And now the pitch on its way. Runners both go. Throw to second. No, sorry, no throw made. Look to third pump faked. I thought I was going to go to second maybe to look at Daniel.

But no attempt made as. there's a strike on the pitch O and one count runners on second and third Comes the pitch Smith no Casey Murnack It's about as tall as Smith maybe 64 6 3

Strike 2 Yeah Outside pitch It's all the knees He's his leg up and delivers Strike 3 called no swing Looked a little Close to the edge but

I'm decided out of strike three and that'll be it for this inning. Oilers get two, leave two stranded. And we'll see you in 60 seconds as you've been watching Hillsdale Chargers, men's varsity baseball

on Hillsdale Radio Free 101.7 FM. We'll see you in 60. Fox on Games, your insider's chief code to gaming. Hackers have claimed to have gotten their hands on private data from the developers of the upcoming

Grand Theft Auto 6. The group known as Shiny Hunters confirming in an online post they launched a cyber attack against Rockstar Games this past weekend. The group explaining they used the business monitoring platform Anad to gain access to the developer servers.

Emphasizing Rockstar data is now compromised. Shiny Hunters has claimed to have targeted other major companies in the past, such as Ticketmaster and Microsoft, among others. Rockstar Games, however, saying in a statement earlier this week, only a limited amount of non-material company information was

accessed. They insist the hack should have no impact on the company or any of their players. The game developer previously suffered a major hack back in 2022 by a user in the UK who threatened to release source code for GTA6. The upcoming game is still currently slated to be released on November 19th later this year. Brian Holgren, Fox News. Radio Free Hillsdale 101.1.7 FM. Welcome back to the live coverage of Hillsdale Chargers baseball game against the Finley Oilers. Chargers are down 14

to 2 at the bottom of the 6th. The Oilers just scored two runs in the 6th, so hopefully Hosedale can

get some momentum here as we get into the second half of the game. This is the first game of a double header today. And then they'll play them again twice on Monday. Yep. And this game, as we're in the bottom of the six,

we're going to be looking to see if the Chargers came to mouth a little bit of a comeback. Will Lehman comes up to lead off for the Chargers in those bottom of the six inning. As it looks like the Oilers have gone to the bullpen. for number 23. Connor Evanich. Evanich comes set from the stretch and that check swing

filed down and back. Number 33, we'll even get a piece of that on his check swing. Manich delivers for strike number two. Oh, outside corner.

Painted. Well, painted corner as Linson as a Sorry, Lehman Gets another pitch by Evenich, which is far out and away for ball one.

One and two count nobody on, nobody out. Anything catching your eye? Uh, well? Straight up, called off by the first baseman, and that is a pop-out. First out of the inning.

Now that in the left field, number 14, chase the fit man. Jake Figman comes to the plate, which is a black and yellow lead-up song. Interesting choice. A bit of a fan. And it's stretch delivers that outside corner for strike one. Ooh. It's a well-placed pitch.

On the border, umpire called a strike, and Jake didn't swing on it. It's a good decision as goes back. a little more off the plate called ball one. One-one-one on the scoreboard again. Figman has a batting average of 0.353. It's the highest on the team. That pitch looked inside. It looks like Figman started a swing

and it might have hit his bat before hitting him, but he'll remain in the batters box as he gets up to a one-and-two count. A bit unfortunate. if he had ducked his shoulder, he could have earned a walk, but he's the type of hitter where he wants to put barrel on the ball. The next pitch is gone, down low for ball two. Two and two count, one out.

Nobody on, nobody yet, or one out. That ball is hit to the second baseman, and that is thrown out at first. As the second baseman was able to track all the way to the left side of first base, to make the play. The throw was just a bit faster than Vigman was able to run to get to first. For 21 to showers.

Comes up to the plate. It's in pitch, delivered. Hits him. Sounded like his bat. Yeah. Almost. But Paul Hessian, he gets a free ride to first base as Ryan Weigh. 26 Ryan Wheatie.

Trini comes in to hit, well. I like his walkout song. Good taste of music. So pitch delivered far outside, no chance. They counter, evidence, evenich. Checks his runner. One and no counts. Two out.

Next pitch. High enough. up. But, and there, two and no count. Even it just steps back on the mound. Next pitch, popped foul out of play. Another souvenir, if anyone's going to find it.

Oh, I can see that. It's up on the hill. No one gets it. I'll go and grab it. Start a collection. Yeah. Maybe after game two, if I'm still around, I could go and redeem it for a,

baseball card. Have him sign it? Uh-huh. And it checks back to first. Runner was not really that far out. Stripes the beat, getting in the crowd, Mike, as unfortunately Finley baseball players going behind the dugout to go get that ball.

There are plenty of others. That pitch gets away from the catcher. It's down, out and away. Ball three. 21, Tyler Sowers, goes to Steele second, is successful. Man on second, two outs, one strike, three balls.

Second baseman is actually playing to the left of second base behind SARS. Really shifted over. Yeah, that ball is roped deep to the wall at the warning track and caught by the center fielder. Unlucky, hit that ball about 380, 375. It just had a little more oomph.

I've got to put that over the wall. That's the third out of the inning. So we're looking to go into the top of the seventh. You're listening to Chargers Baseball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. And these are the most impactful moments in American history. February 23, 1846, the people of Philadelphia gather together to celebrate the birth of the nation's first president, George Washington. As in previous years, the president's birth was celebrated by ringing the liberty bell,

which by most accounts was one of the bells rung on July 4th, 1776 to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Over the years, the bell was rung to signify celebrations, protests, and revolution. These monumental moments left indelible marks on the bell, both figuratively and literally. But it was during this historic celebration that the crack deepened and the bell was silence for good. Despite its fracture, the Liberty Bell became a symbol of American independence, proving you don't need a perfect bell to let freedom ring. Fox News.

You're listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. We're here at the Linda Englenda Hills Stadium at the Chargers baseball game against the University of F.m. Finley, the Oilers, the chargers are down 14-2, top of the 7th, looking to make that gap a little less wide in this, hopefully quick first half of the 7th. Yeah, he was going to try and keep Finley off the board as. Finley had had another two runs last inning. May Albany's continues to pitch for the, Chargers. Number 26 is Ryan Wehey is still the catcher.

I believe that's number 15 Luke Stephan hitting for the Oilers. Pitch, and that pitch is roped into center. Deep ball hits the warning track and one hops the fence for a ground rule double. Stefan, the cleanup batter for the Oilers. get that ball solidly into center. So one hopper over the fence and he'll stay at second as number 22

Gavin Smith comes to bat. Albanyes comes set, ready to pitch. Livers. That ball is popped up high into center. Center field are coming under it. Makes the snag. That was number 16. Guard Swenson who caught the

Hop-up ball for the first out of the inning. Pinch hitting for the Oilers, number one, Eden Booth. In Booth comes into the game. Pinch hitting. See if it's that strike free yet. I'll have to do it after the game, probably. Yeah. Those just joining us.

Stripe is the B that got trapped. And I think is the pitch hit on the first pitch of his at bat. A bit unlucky. He's looking to get an opportunity. Instead, he gets a ball in the back as Kugin Snyder will now step up to the plate with the runner on first and second. Now that in the picture number 10, Keevan. Glancing at the scoreboard, a tale of two different teams. Heldsdale with six hits, two runs.

Oilers with nine hits, 14 runs. as the pitch delivered skips out in front of catcher Ryan Wehi but is fielded in time to prevent the base runner from prevent the base runners from advancing Albany's steps back in delivers outside part of the plate for strike one it's an impressive pitch Hopefully you can do it again All the knees.

It delivers, throws it high for ball one. Interesting pitch delivery. We'll see if he tries tunneling for the next pitch. It's easy if he can fool the batter with that up high pitch. Tunneling just for those who aren't aware is a strategy where the pitcher tries to release the ball at the same point and have to follow the same trajectory. As that pitch gets away from him goes down and away for ball. number three. Now with a three and one count with a little activity in the Hillsdale dugout as two pitchers are starting to get warm. One is throwing some bullpen. The other is just

warming up. It says, you know, this is a double header and there's a second game immediately after this one. So I'm trying to expect after the one of the students, ready to start the next game as that pitch is down the middle and filed off out of play behind the Hillsdale dugout, as is now three and two count with one out. Two runners on base, one on the first one on second. One needs takes a moment, fouls, another foul ball.

Batters staying alive. Ian Snyder, doing his best, keep himself in the batter's box and keep fighting. Nees comes set, checks his runner at second. Gins his throwing motion.

He's a missile grounder. The runner's held up. at third as all the runners advance the base and that'll be a earned single as short thought Ernchisik could not get there could not get over to the ball to field in time as that was a rocket hit off solid part of the barrel on the turf it's like taking a time out here to call meeting it I'm actually going to relieve their pitcher and bring in someone new it's not it all Tobinies is retired, and the chargers are bringing in number 27.

Yep, which is Colin Tobin. From Memphis, Tennessee. Going to take a moment to warm up here? Doesn't sound like Tennessee music. No, it does not. Great song, though. Do you think it's overrated? I haven't heard in a while.

Properly rated, maybe. Properly rated? Yeah, it's all right. Okay. Not a killers fan? Not my genre. But I'm still decent, glad. It's represented someone's got it in Atlanta.

Better than country, I'd say. What would be your walkout song? Barbie's Dreamcastle song. That would be a choice, for sure. That or like some death metal scare. Nothing in between. They put the other team on edge somehow. Yeah.

I haven't changed. First inning's the death metal. Second one's the Barbie. Every other. Fool the pitcher. You won't realize it's the same guy. Use it to your advantage. Especially if I go out on three pitches, three strikes in the first inning,

you bet I'm switching that walk-up song. What I would do. We've got a lot of options. I know. Maybe classic rock. I really think, I really, I don't know why I'm getting a, you know, ramble on by Led Zeppelin. Now the time, the time is now.

It's a, it actually is about the Lord of the Rings. This song is. It's really, it's cool. You should, you should listen to it. Oh, it's a playlist. Yeah. Where stripes go. I think he fell down into the, oh, here.

Yeah, there is. You have to open the screen. All right. This first. pitch of the of the game. Base is loaded. No pressure. Nope, not at all.

He's calling total delivers. Hits him in the helmet, walks another runner in. Oh, that's one of the worst ways you could start an inning. Feel for him. Shake it off, though. He'll come back and ready to throw his next pitch.

Mm-hmm. As there's a timeout on the field. The oil is number 27. Yeah. First base coach checking in on his runner at first, making sure his head's all right. I'm called at times. The pitch clock would start. So number 27, deal winnings steps in.

Pitch on his way, far outside. Which returns to his mound. Steps on, comes set. Ready to deliver. There's a little bit. Delivers down low. Catcher blocks. It keeps it in front of them for ball number two. Colin Tobin takes a little bit extra time. Steps on with 10 seconds on the left on the pitch clock. It comes set with seven. Six, five. Getting ready to deliver. Delivers with two seconds. Outside. Number three. Three oh count. Not a good start. Mr. Colin Tobin. so we can get a strike across and hopefully get this batter to bite as a double play here would have the inning and it's got a force everywhere. Tobin with the pitch inside a little bit but called a strike.

Badder ducked his head a little bit looking to bait the umpire and calling that a ball and earning himself a walk but no luck there. The pitch, that one's grounded foul almost caught by the third base coach but he's. He's got some butterfingers. Second time he's done that today. You now have a full count one out. The Finley dugout is a little active, chanting. They've been pretty active the whole game, really. Oh, yeah, definitely a team that's really involved.

Very spirited. It gets ready to deliver the pitch. Throws it. Ball four. Another run gets walked in. Chargers are now down 16 to 2. Unfortunate. Very unfortunate.

Hopefully they can shake it off for the next game and bring it back. Faces are loaded for the Finley Oilers, number seven up to that. Nick Palm, who is the top of the lineup. As we await the next pitch. Strike one. Colin Toler finds the zones. starts his. It makes batter off on right foot able to earn his first strike.

Pitch is delivered outside under ball one. All ones once again. As number 27, Colin Tobin resets, delivers the next pitch. Check, swing from the batter. It seems that he went. Yeah, strike two. It's a one and two count. Base is loaded.

On out. Double plays in effect. We'll see if Stone can force that with the grounder here. It's delivered. No contact there. Strike three. Ball might have hit the dirt. But since bases are loaded, there is no need to make the tag as the catcher can touch home and secure the out and drop third.

But, yeah, number 28. I'm kidding for the oilers. Number 28. Evan Reiter. Evan Reiger. He'll step in. Pire signals for the pitch clock to start up again. Tobin comes set.

Looking to end the first part of the seventh inning. Ball one. That one was a fair bit off the plate. Tobin comes set again. Ready to deliver the next pitch. Way outside. ball number two. Just a reminder that this is game one of a double header.

Two will follow. Take a short break to allow the teams regroup, and then they will get together to begin the second game. Time is called. Tobin and the better get to step off, and now they're both re-engage with 13 on the pitch clock. Tobin's been set, delivers, down the middle for a strike,

Two and one count, two outs. Not only is this a double hitter for a team, but stick around, and there will be another broadcast from Radio Free Hillsdale for the second game. It won't be us, but they'll be just as good. Maybe better. A lot of strikes here as well, maybe. Yes, maybe. All right, that pitch down and away for ball three.

double working himself into a bit of a jam three and one count two out spaces loaded Tobin can do Chargers are down 16-2 Mall 4 walks another batter Make that's 17 2 Yep Drives in the third run of

The inning Now that in the center fielder number is 17 Casey Maroney at 17 up to bat here Casey Maruniac Pitching is still Colin Tobin fourth pitcher of the game

first ball ball one low and away again Tobin's struggling for control and called strike one that ball was in the zone and Finley's batter number 17 Casey Murrieneck called

or look to check his swing there to Tobin gets ready to delivers next offering. Down low for ball number two. Two outs. Top of the seventh. This pitch is delivered, and that is roped. In the left field, gets by one-run scores, two-run score,

and that is a two-run RBI double. Hillsdale Chargers now down 19 to 2. Not much for us to commentate on right now, unfortunately. Tobin brings forth his next offering just off the plate. It is 19 to 2. Ooh, it's not so good. The Oilers have added five runs to their lead in this inning alone, seven in the last two.

It's followed off how to play. The Oilers' overall record is 24 to 14, with their away record 14 to 8. Hillsdale's overall record is 17 to 19, with their home record 6 to 4. The ball's roped foul. Hits a shed out beyond the field. First basement out wide.

Comes the pitch. Balls popped foul out of play. One and two count. Two outs as Hillsdale looks to get the final out of the inning and get out of this with some dignity. Go in, confett. The liver is fouled up. off to the backstop.

Some chatter between the catcher and the umpire here. Catcher trying to earn himself a strike. There steps into the box, catcher. He's still chatting up the omp, bends down now. Fish o'clock is started. Tobin gets ready to deliver the next pitch. Number 15, Luke Senton, senton up to bat for the Oilers.

Tobin delivers that pitch far, away outside. Ball number two, it's a 2-2-2. Across the scoreboard, two balls, two strikes, two outs, and two on. Hey, would you look at that? That ball gets ropes deep

into right field, off the back wall. That will score two runs. That'll be a sliding-in-double as the throw gets there just a bit late. A decent bit late. It's the Oilers.

adds to their lead and have now reached 21 to Hillsdale's 2. At this point, just looking to end the inning. Says there are two outs, zero ball, zero strikes. Here's the pitch, swing, deep cut and miss. Number 22, Gavin Smith up to bat for the Oilers. We'll see here. Smith, kids. Oh, bean.

That looks like it hurt. Off his back and some chirps coming from the Finley workout. How fast those balls going? You really don't want to get hit. It's got a sting. Now two runners on base, first and second. Number one to bat. Aiden Booth.

Tobin delivers for strike one. Good pitch. It wasn't even thinking about it. I believe Booth. I don't believe Booth started the game. It's just been subbed in. Mm-hmm. That pitch delivered.

Four. I believe it was a ball, but scoreboard hasn't updated to confirm. Oh, there it is. Yep, one-on. and just wanted to make sure but it looked far and away. I didn't give a signal and believed there was a ball, but just had to make sure you never know.

Pitches in there. Low as well, about the same spot. Two and one is the count. Getting close to the end of the season here as they get closer to the end of the school year. Tobin delivers. Strike. Nope.

Another ball. Three and one is the count. Three straight balls. Still two outs, looking to get a third. Turn. It's been the top of the sixth. Sorry, seven. Seven runs in the seventh inning for Finley.

Ball four. Another walk. Kalantelbenezzi loads the bases. And another mound meeting has been called. It's a check if there was any activity going on in the, didn't quite see. In the, well, it might be warming up. 21 to 2 against the Chargers.

Not the best score ever. Not exactly what you want to see going into a double header and three more games to be played against the University of Finley. But hopefully they don't let it go to their heads for the next game today, which will be immediately after this. Next pitch, Tobin, after. after his mom was ready to deliver. It's a strike call.

Good for him. Nice. It's always good to see when a team comes out of a huddle that they're able to get a nice quick strike on the batter. It shows him. It's a composure back with the pitcher. Tobin breaking ball fools the batter who swung on air and missed. Tobin steps back on his rubber

and prepares to deliver the next pitch. Deliver's, ooh, did he go? Yep, that's the third out. Strike three called swinging. Put the Chargers out of their misery. Going into the bottom of the seventh here after the break, you're listening to Chargers baseball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. Stories of those who have been awarded the Medal of Honor.

This is Minute of Honor. Here's Jenna Suhita. On February 10th, 1970. near Fuoklong Vietnam, specialist John Baca was setting up an ambush with his unit. When one of the tripwires detonated in the jungle ahead, a platoon was sent to investigate. Soon they came under intense enemy fire from concealed positions along the trail. As they prepared to engage the enemy, a fragmentation grenade was thrown in the midst of the patrol. Baca said later, at that moment he thought of his mother.

He called her only the day before, telling her that he was working in the post office, safe from action on the front lines. But with the lives of his friends hanging in the balance, Baca acted quickly. With complete disregard for his own safety, Baca used his steel helmet and his own body to cover the grenade and absorb the lethal fragments. His conspicuous gallantry at the risk of his own life directly saved the lives of eight men. For the extraordinary courage and selflessness he displayed on February 10th, 1970, specialist John Baca was awarded the Medal of Honor. This is Minute of Honor on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. Welcome back to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.1.7 FM, Chargers baseball coverage here at Linda and Glenda Hill Stadium, two hours and 45 minutes into the first game of a doubleheader against the University of Finley Oilers.

The chargers are unfortunately down 21 to 2, going into the bottom of the 7th, looking to just make that gap a little, a little less, I don't know, cavernous, I guess. And especially going into the second game of the day, hopefully they can keep their heads in it and bring it back next game. I'll make a note that there's a sluttered a little in effect that Hillsdale needs 10 runs in this inning to keep the game alive. First pitch from Clothera Ivanovitch. It's delivered, and that's a ball just outside. Number 13, Dylan Whitfield is currently up to bat for the Chargers.

Fow ball towards the charger die out. Be it count one and one. So Whitfield has actually been subbed in to hit. Give him an opportunity. Getting that bat. That pitch delivered his ball two. Oh, stripes. Moving up down the glass again.

That ball has hit hard to the shortstop and a nice, clean throw is made. Number 22 in the Oilers is the first base. Gavin Smith That's first out of the anything Innings. Kentucky number 25, Carson Tucker Carson Tucker. Carson Tucker out to bat now.

Makes pitch ready to be delivered. I don't know if we've seen him before either, actually. Tucker? Have we? I believe so. I'll check. Nope.

Tucker is also a new substitution. That ball is cracked up, high. Second basement got under it and secured the second out of the inning. Jack Kilmer is up to bat. Again, we'll see this team's able to do if Hillso can eke another runout on the board, but like some really dominant pitching from the Finley Oilers only. Two runs aloud through seven innings. Really impressive.

Sorry, six point six innings. Yeah, actually. True, get it right. Ivich delivers breaking ball. Ooh, strike called. That ball must have a lot of movement on it. What do you think, stripes? It delivered strike two.

Evinich finding his zone. Yeah. Two on the edge pitches From what we can tell up here But All right Next pitch That was close

That was close Same spot, same area Looking for it Think he's going to hunt in that same area Do you think he's going to change it up? I don't know He's had pretty good Good luck in that area so far

Wow Went wide though Yeah hunts it outside, or way, way, way outside. A bit unfortunate, but. 2-2 and 2. Next pitch, fouled off. Way to fight.

I always stinks being the last out of a baseball game, so I'm sure he's fighting, at least for that, if nothing more. Here's the pitch. Oh, cold strike three. It's out on the edge. That'll wrap up our game for today as by Slaughter Rule, Finley wins the first game.

And there'll be a 25-minute break in between now and the second game. So stay tuned for game two of Finley Hillsdale. For now, it's been a fun to call for the game.
