By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorThe Noblesville baseball team was do-
ing a remarkable jobholding off Class 4Asectional host Zions-ville in the tourna-ment openerThursday evening.After six innings, theMillers were ahead 2-1.
But the Eaglesmade some big hits inthe top of the seventh,and went on to win3-2. Thus Zionsville
knocked the defending 4A state champion-ship out of the tournament, and Nobles-ville's season ended with a respectable19-11 record.
"They made a couple more plays thanwe did today," said NHS coach JustinKeever. He said this game mirrored how thetwo team's Hoosier Crossroads Conferencegames played out this season.
"That's kind of life in the HCC, andSectional 8's one ofthe toughest," saidKeever.
Noblesville tookthe lead right away,scoring twice in thebottom of the first.Travis Gillian tookone for the team,moved to second on asingle by MichaelCarmosino, thenBryce Masterson washit by a pitch, advanc-
ing his teammates and loading the bases. Athrowing error then sent both Gillian andCarmosino home. Just like that, Noblesvillewas up 2-0.
The score held through three innings,including a great third inning by Millerpitcher Cory Conway, who struck out theZionsville side in the third inning. Conwaypitched a complete game, throwing 10strikeouts.
The Eagles got on the board in the topof the fourth, whenDrew Bertram's sacri-fice fly scored NickPrather. Zionsvillewould not get the leaduntil the top of theseventh: ChadGarisek singled on tobase, was moved by asacrifice bunt byDrew Bertram, thenGrant Sloan's triplegot Garisek home totie the game.
Sloan took off running on a squeezeplay during the 1-1 pitch to Riley Bertram,but it turned out to be moot: Bertram con-nected with the ball, and that turned into asingle, and a score for the Eagles.
Noblesville could only get three hitsfrom Zionsville's strong pitching, withMcLochlin getting two of those hits, includ-ing a sixth-inning double.
Sectional play continues today, withCarmel playing Hamilton Southeastern at
5:30 p.m., and Fishers taking on North Cen-tral at 8 p.m.
