WILMINGTON — Clinton-Massie regained the top spot in the South Central Ohio League Monday with an 8-0 win over Wilmington on the WHS diamond.

The Falcons go to 14-5 overall and 9-1 in the league. Wilmington is 9-4 overall and 8-2 in the league. Both teams have four league games remaining.

Noah Greathouse picked up the pitching victory for Clinton-Massie. He struck out 11, including three in a row after Wilmington had loaded the bases in the fourth inning.

“I was glad Noah was able to come back and have a great performance for us,” CM coach Brian Camp said. “He hasn’t pitched for a couple weeks and he felt comfortable.”

In the fourth, Massie had just extended its lead to 4-0. David Poynter drove in a two runs in the first then Aric France and Luke Richardson knocked in runs in the fourth.

But Wilmington picked itself up off the mat and loaded the bases. Stephen Krause singled and Chris Wolary and Chad Davis walked to bring the tying run to the plate. However, Greathouse struck out the next three Hurricane batters to end the threat.

“That was a huge inning for us, both offensively and defensively,” said Camp. “At that point the score was only 4-0. They could have very well cut the lead in half. Noah just took over that inning.”

Poynter had two hits and two RBI for the Falcons as did France. Dana Eickenhorst had two hits.

Krause, Davis, Nate Lakes and Alex Meyer had the WHS hits. Wilmington runners on base in every inning but the second.

“Greathouse threw a good game and is a good pitcher,” WHS coach Dustin James said. “We did not capitalize on his mistakes and have the timely hitting we needed to get him out of the game early.”

James also said his own pitcher, Zach Wyrick, threw the ball well.

“We did not make the plays behind him. We have been a very good defensive team and I was disappointed in our performance tonight,” said James.

Clinton-Massie lost two games on Saturday, 14-9 to Mt. Vernon and 12-0 to Hilliard Darby. Massie led Mt. Vernon 8-0 after two innings.
