Indiana high school baseball saw two of its top programs clinch regional crowns on June 6, setting the stage for a highly anticipated semi‑state round on June 13.
University’s Dominant 13‑5 Victory
The University baseball squad rolled past Greencastle with a 13‑5 final score, pulling away in the fifth inning after a three‑run burst that turned a 6‑4 lead into a comfortable margin. Beckett Suh opened the scoring by driving in the first run, and Finn Steiner later crossed the plate after being hit by a pitch. Philip Jacobs contributed a clutch double that brought home Braxton Sparks and David Gasper, while Ryan Castetter added a single that plated both Steiner and Jacobs. Cooper Cammack’s three‑inning outing on the mound featured three strikeouts, helping preserve the lead.
Guerin Catholic Stays Alive with a 4‑1 Win
Across town, Guerin Catholic fought back to defeat Northview 4‑1. Ian Taylor’s timely single drove in Brody Cain, and Nolan Ratcliff followed with a two‑RBI hit that sent Karson Smith and Liam Zorger home. Pitcher Luke Gremelspacher limited the opposition to a single run over 3.1 innings, striking out eight batters in the process.
Both champions now turn their attention to the semi‑state stage. University will open against Evansville Mater Dei in the 2A south bracket, while Guerin Catholic is slated to meet Providence in the 3A south opener. The matchups promise another round of intense competition as the state’s top high school teams chase the ultimate prize.
