Crest’s baseball squad secured a 14‑9 win over East Lincoln, a contest that featured eight combined homers, five of which landed in Crest’s lineup.
Luke Rayfield launched a solo shot and drove in four runs, while Landry Ohmstead added a double, a homer and two RBIs. Eli Black also contributed a homer and four RBIs, and Caleb Costner teamed with J.M. Knapp to hit back‑to‑back long balls that swung momentum.
The victory propels Crest into a regional final against South Point, a team that edged them 5‑3 in Belmont on April 23 but fell 10‑1 to Crest on March 24. The stakes are amplified by conference representation, making the upcoming clash a true test of regional supremacy.
