At the recent Mason County Eastern tournament, the Onekama baseball and softball squads each navigated a win and a loss, showcasing both resilience and areas for growth as the season progresses.
Baseball Highlights
The baseball team fell 10‑1 to Shelby but answered with a 7‑6 victory over Buckley, highlighted by Camden Ickes’ two‑RBI double that secured a walk‑off win. Andrew Potter added a solo homer in the third inning, while pitcher Camden Ickes limited Shelby to three earned runs on nine hits while striking out four. The team now sits at 6‑8 on the year.
Softball Highlights
The softball side dropped a 3‑2 decision to Shelby before exploding for a 19‑4 triumph over Mason County Central, where Hailey Hart delivered a complete‑game effort with 11 strikeouts and an inside‑the‑park homer. The squad’s record improves to 5‑10‑1, and both teams have upcoming fixtures that promise further competition.
With several key contributors — including Andrew Potter, Camden Ickes, Hailey Hart and others — preparing for the next round of games, Onekama looks to build on the positives and tighten up the areas that proved costly against strong opponents.
