Butler - 7 Kiski Area - 0
Butler, one of the WPIAL's early season surprises, scored
all its runs after two outs, as the Golden Tornado posted
a 7-0 victory to go 4-0 in Section 1-AAAA play and 5-2
overall.
Golden Tornado right fielder Dustin Uhlman got the scoring
underway with two outs in the first innings with a towering
home run over the left-center field fence.
After two outs and nobody on, Tim Geibel doubled and scored
on Bill Coleman's single. An error at third scored two
more runs, and Darren Blakley pounded a homer to right
to put the Golden Tornado in front, 6-0.
Butler concluded the scoring in the seventh off reliever
John Russell, as John Crummy doubled with two outs and
none on, later scoring on a wild pitch.
"
They don't quit," Butler coach Dave Florie said. "We
established that reputation last year when we would be
far behind."
Kiski Area dropped to 0-8 overall and 0-5 in section play.
"
It's just the way this season's been going," said
Cavaliers coach Daryl Hixenbaugh, who returned from a three-game
suspension after he allegedly struck a player with a plastic
hockey stick. "The coaching staff is so frustrated.
We do it right in practice, but not when we're into a game."
Kiski Area had some late opportunities to rally, loading
the bases in the sixth and seventh innings.
In the sixth, Shawn Vogel led off with a walk, and John
Delancey and Tyler Garrone singled.
But Vogel was caught in a rundown, as Butler thwarted a
squeeze play. McCormick fanned the next two batters to
end the threat.
"
We were calling a squeeze and trying to get them to make
a play," Hixenbaugh said. "I thought if we could
get a couple of runs, who knows?"
Vogel singled to load the bases with two outs in the seventh,
but Delancey's bouncer to third ended the game.
Hixenbaugh indicated some players might soon be elevated
from the junior varsity.
"
We've looked at about a half season now," the first-year
coach said. "The JV is playing well, and some of the
kids are working hard and earning their way. They're the
future of Kiski baseball."
Geibel had two doubles and a single to pace a 13-hit Golden
Tornado attack.
Blakley, who also had three hits, was called out in a rundown
at the plate, jamming his shoulder. He left the game.
Even Florie, in his third season at Butler after 16 years
at Seneca Valley, is surprised by his team's start, which
includes a victory over defending state champion Seneca
Valley last week.
"
You don't expect that in this league," he said. "But
we're hitting pretty good. It's a matter of confidence."

Tim Geibel led off with a walk, then,

Zach Cuffman and Ken Rosenbauer sandwiched
run-scoring singles around an RBI walk to Greg
Hays that tied the game at 4.
Nick Rossmiller followed with an RBI double
to win the game for Butler, which had all five of its hits in the final
frame.
