BULLDOGRECORD ASSAULT
Boys claim league championship, girls shatter records
The Baldwin boys took first and the girls finished second in Thursday in the Frontier League track meet in Ot-tawa.
The boys scored 129 points to take the crown, outdistancing the 100.5 points of second-place Paola.
“The boys did a tremendous job,” coach Mike Spielman said. “The took
care of business at league and now we move on to regionals.”
The girls finished with 89 points and were a distant second to Paola, which finished with 192 points.
Despite the second-place finish, the girls turned in a number of outstand-ing performances at the meet. Baldwin girls won five of the meet’s 18 events, breaking three school and league meet records in the process. The girls five first-place finishes was more than the
three champion Paola took home, but the deeper Panther team earned at least one medal in nearly every event.
“I can’t ever remember break-ing three school records in the same meet,” girls coach Ted Zuzzio said. “We went into league looking to im-prove our previous week’s time and distances, and 15 of the 20 girls we en-tered did that very thing. It was an ex-ceptional effort from everyone.”
Leading the way for the champion
boys with two individual gold med-als were Asher Hannon and Dayton Valentine. Hannon won the 100- and400-meter dashes with times of 11.19and 51.16, respectively. He also was on the winning 4 by 100 and 4 by 400 re-lay teams.

EUDORA — The Baldwin High School baseball team nearly defied a season of disappointment when it lost, 5-4, in the first round of regional play to top-seeded Spring Hill.
Spring Hill, a two-time state 4A runner-up, won in the bottom of the seventh when a bloop fly ball managed to drop in short center field, scoring a Bronco runner from second base, who got there on an infield single and over-throw at first.
“I’m as happy as I can be with a loss,” coach Brian Turk said. “They represented us very well. I was very upset after the Eudora games, and then they came back to play their tails off against Perry and today against the No. 1 seed.”
Turk singled out the pitching of se-nior Hunter Burkhart, who held the Spring Hill batters mostly in check with the help of a defense that erased two Bronco runners at third base, one
on a double-play tag out and the other on a pick-off move.
Spring Hill needed its walk-off rally after Baldwin came back from a 4-2 deficit, knotting the score in the top of the seventh inning.
Sophomore second baseman Chad Berg started the rally with a one-out double to right and advanced to third base on an infield single from Tyler Kapelle. Two straight walks to Burkhart and Colton Stark cut Spring Hill’s lead to one run and loaded the bases for third baseman Tyler Brenn.
The senior missed on a bunt at-
tempt and a running Kapelle was tagged out at the plate. The Bulldogs’ fortune quickly reversed when the next pitch hit the dirt in front of the plate and got by the Spring Hill catch-er to the back stop, allowing Burkhart to score from third.
The inning ended when senior first baseman Colton Bonner popped out to third.
Berg and Burkhart were involved in Baldwin’s two-run fifth inning as well. The inning started with catcher Brandon Mock drawing a walk and advancing to second base on Berg’s one-out single to right. Burkhart got
Mock home with a single, which also advanced Berg to third.
The Bulldogs then stole a run when Burkhart took off for second baseas an inattentive Spring Hill pitcher held the ball. Burkhart stopped short of second, forcing a rundown, but the Spring Hill infielder opted to throw home in an unsuccessful attempt tostop Berg from scoring Baldwin’s sec-ond run.
Baldwin finished the season at 4-17. Monday’s loss was the last game for Baldwin seniors Burkhart, AlexTwombly, Brenn, Bonner and Will Simmons.
BALDWIN’S CHAD BERG slides home safely Mon-day in the fifth inning of Baldwin’s first-round regional game against Spring Hill as the Bulldogs executed a double steal. Bald-win’s season ended with a 5-4 loss to the region’s top-seeded Broncos.
