Gibson throws 1 1/3 scoreless
Greenfield-Central graduate Kyle Gibson threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings in tonight's All-Star Futures Game -- a contest pitting the top prospects from throughout minor league baseball played at Arizona's Chase Field. That is also the site of Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game.
Gibson allowed two hits in his time in. He came in with the game tied 3-3 in the sixth and the World team having scored three runs in the inning. The first batter he faced hit an RBI triple, but Gibson retired the next batter to end the threat. In the seventh, he allowed a leadoff single, then induced a flyout to left, a popout to first and then picked off the runner to end the inning.
Gibson, the Minnesota Twins' first-round pick in 2010, currently pitches for the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings in the Twins' system.

Wednesday roundup
In softball, New Palestine gave head coach Ed Marcum his 200th career victory in a 6-1 road victory at Fishers. NP scored once in the third, twice in the fourth and three times in the sixth before Fishers tallied its lone run against Dragon starter Lizzie Garrison. NP (13-5) had 11 hits on the day. Garrison scattered six hits to get the pitching victory. NP returns home Thursday to face Chatard, and Friday for a doubleheader against Connersville.
Greenfield-Central rallied twice to tie the game in the late innings, but fell 5-4 to Lawrence Central as the Bears scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh. Tori Cuebas drove in three of the Cougars' runs with a single and a double. Brittany Hardwick had a couple of hits, while Kristen Wise doubled and had an RBI. G-C led 2-0 in the third, but LC scored three times in the fourth to take the lead. The Cougars tied the game in the fifth and seventh, but saw the Bears re-take the edge in the bottom of each inning. G-C is now 14-9 on the season.
Eastern Hancock also fell in a seventh-inning rally, as Elwood scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to stun the Royals 6-5. EH had scored once in the sixth and twice in the seventh to take a 5-4 edge before the Panthers' rally. Savannah Blevins doubled, homered and drove in four runs for the Royals (12-10). Taylor Mercer had a pair of hits.
In baseball, New Palestine's Brady Thomas hit a three-run homer in the third to break a scoreless deadlock and send the Dragons on to a 9-2 victory over Brebeuf. Thomas' blast to the deepest part of the park set the Dragons in motion -- they'd score once more in the third and thrice more in the fourth to build a 7-0 lead against the Braves' ace. Brian Clark threw a complete-game three-hitter for the victory. No. 2 NP is now 17-2 heading into the rest of the week. A road game at Connersville takes place Thursday before Friday's visit to Greenfield-Central. The doubleheader will begin at 5 p.m. and be broadcast LIVE. Click here to listen LIVE!

HHC baseball Friday night
It's a fairly recent change -- less than five years old -- but the HHC has created a great tradition with Friday-night doubleheaders.
You know that, for seven consecutive weekends, the night that is an event in both the fall and winter becomes one in the spring, starting at 5 p.m. The games usually have a festival atmosphere -- especially in warm weather -- and there's some good camaraderie between the communities. Between games, everyone seems to intermingle, eat together and enjoy the game we all love.
We have no broadcast this Friday -- our "Game of the Week" was the county track and field meet -- but will be back with New Palestine at Greenfield-Central on May 13, and Mt. Vernon at New Palestine on May 20.
So, let's take a look at the standings and this week's matchups:
New Palestine (#2 3A) 8-0/13-2 overall (at Rushville)
Mt. Vernon (#3 3A) 8-0/12-2 overall (vs. Pendleton Heights)
Greenfield-Central 5-2/8-7 overall (at Yorktown)
Pendleton Heights 4-3/9-7 overall (vs. Mt. Vernon)
Yorktown 4-6/7-6 overall (vs. Greenfield-Central)
Delta 2-8/6-11 overall (at Shelbyville)
Rushville 1-7/5-10 overall (vs. New Palestine)
Shelbyville 1-7/4-10 overall (vs. Delta)
All three county teams at the top of the standings, but a huge series between Mt. Vernon and Pendleton Heights. PH needs some help to get back in the conference title race, but can go a long way in helping itself with a pair of victories over MV. A Marauder sweep would eliminate PH from title contention. PH currently is 4-3 in league play, having been swept by New Palestine and lost a single game to Greenfield-Central. All eyes will be on that doubleheader. MV has put together some good offensive games, but Matt Lohrey and Logan Blair had two outstanding pitching performances. Between them (and reliever Zach McKinney), they held G-C's potent offense to two runs in 15 innings last Friday in the Cougars' smallish park.
G-C's two losses were in close games against Mt. Vernon last week -- 4-1 in extras and 2-1 -- and the Cougars are in the thick of things with a doubleheader against New Palestine next week. Expect to see some good offense as the Yorktown team the Cougars are facing this weekend has some nice sticks at the top of the order. G-C does, too, with Clark Pence, Jayden Jackson and more leading a deep lineup.
NP is the other conference leader, and the Dragons continue to score runs. They rallied from a four-run deficit to beat Batesville on Thursday, one day after falling to 4A No. 3 Cathedral, despite a strong pitching performance. NP also has a deep pitching staff with Nick Smith, Brian Page and Reid Clark leading the way.
