  The Bureau Valley baseball team finished off a doubleheader sweep
• 0:21
  over Stark County with a dramatic finish Saturday in Manlius,
• 0:26
  Storm pitcher Dylan Howllett, who was covering first base on
• 0:29
  an infield hit to the right side, throughout Stark County's
• 0:32
  Cadence Steelman on a bang bang play at the plate
• 0:35
  to end the game, giving the Storm nine seven to
• 0:38
  six zero, its second four to three win of the
• 0:41
  day in Lincoln Trail Conference play. Exciting is a word
• 0:44
  for it. BV coach Ryan Schissler said glad that Dylan
• 0:49
  had the awareness and our guys were communicating with him
• 0:51
  to make that play. We said before the game's winning
• 0:54
  is the only thing that matters. So great to see
• 0:56
  us get through two tough ones and come out on
• 0:58
  the right side. Blake Foster's complete game effort carried the
• 1:03
  Storm to another four to three win. In Game one,
• 1:06
  Stark County turned the tables on the Storm at the
• 1:08
  Softball Diamond with a fifteen to three, eleven to two sweep.
• 1:12
  Baseball BV four to four, Stark County three to three.
• 1:16
  Drake Taylor put the Storm on the board in the
• 1:18
  third inning of Game one with a two run triple
• 1:21
  to left field. He scored on a sack fly by
• 1:23
  Foster to make it three zero. I put the barrel
• 1:26
  on the ball and it got past him and scored
• 1:28
  the runs. Taylor said, close game. We were up early.
• 1:32
  We kept hitting the ball right at people. Blake pitched
• 1:35
  a really good game. Drake came through with a big one.
• 1:39
  Skizzler said, that's what you hope from guys who have
• 1:42
  been here before. Those three, Drake, Blake and Tye Barkman
• 1:46
  are returning starters, and you expect them to step up.
• 1:49
  The Rebels got one run back in the fourth, only
• 1:52
  to have the Storm tack on an insurance run with
• 1:55
  the help of a ball, bringing home Brandon Carrington to
• 1:58
  give the Storm a four to one lead. Stark County
• 2:01
  made things interesting in the sixth, with Ben Browning lining
• 2:05
  a two run double to center. Foster allowed one hit
• 2:08
  in the seventh, but finished out the game on ninety
• 2:11
  five pitches by punching out the side. He scattered seven
• 2:14
  hits and two walks while striking out ten. Foster pitched
• 2:18
  his butt off and closed out the game for us.
• 2:21
  Anytime you can see your guy finished seven, that's great,
• 2:24
  Schizler said. The Storm had just three hits in the game,
• 2:28
  two by aid In Litherland. In Game two, Bureau Valley's
• 2:31
  winning rally in the sixth inning started with two outs.
• 2:35
  Dakari Martin singled on a pop fly to Warte. Barkman
• 2:38
  was hit by a pitch, and Carrington walked to load
• 2:40
  the bases. Logan Philhower singled on a hard ground to short,
• 2:44
  scoring Martin with the go ahead run. Steelman singled with
• 2:48
  one out for the Rebels in the seventh. He took
• 2:51
  second on a ground out to Howett before being thrown
• 2:54
  out at home to end the game. Howett picked up
• 2:57
  the win with one and one third scoreless inning in relief.
• 3:00
  Phil Hower struck out thirteen in five and two thirds innings.
• 3:05
  Taylor led the Storm at the plate, going three for
• 3:07
  four with an RBI softball Stark County fifteen to eleven,
• 3:11
  BV three to two. The Rebels scored fifteen runs on
• 3:14
  fourteen hits to win game one, fifteen to three in
• 3:17
  five innings. Six rebels had two hits each, including Halle
• 3:21
  Newton and Kenna Sparks, who each had a home run
• 3:24
  in a double and Sophie Finnegan, who drove in three
• 3:27
  runs and doubled. Danika Benevedez and Avery Bopes each had
• 3:31
  two hits for the Storm. Katrina Wall was one for
• 3:34
  three with an RBI. Stark County broke open Game two
• 3:38
  with six runs in the sixth on the way to
• 3:40
  an eleven two victory to complete the sweep. The Storm
• 3:44
  scored twice in the first inning to make it a
• 3:46
  three to two game, but were shut out the rest
• 3:48
  of the way by Stark County's Brooklyn Ostrowski, who scattered
• 3:51
  six hits and struck out seven. Both runs were unearned.
• 3:56
  Caden Hodg led to the Storm with a two for
• 3:58
  three game out of the leadoff spot. Benefit Is and
