Defending Home
Redskins beat Bulldogs in Dorner's return
By Tom Haines
ST. HENRY - The St. Henry baseball team pushed across the go-ahead run in the third and tacked on three more in the sixth to spoil Celina coach John Dorner's return to the Wally Post Athletic Complex.
The Redskins were "just a little sharper", by Dorner's analysis, starting with pitcher Devin Delzeith. Delzeith spun a gem, pitching a complete game and holding the Bulldogs to two runs on six hits as the Redskins earned a 6-2 victory on Monday. [More]
