BELOIT—Owen West knows it isn’t as simple as waving a magic wand and simply making a bad inning disappear. Still, the Beloit Memorial senior can’t help wondering what could have been after a six-run, error-filled opening frame helped propel the Janesville Craig baseball team past the Purple Knights 9-3 in non-conference action on Monday evening at Pohlman Field. “You erase that first inning and we’re in it,” West said. “We...
Beloit College baseball team packs bats for Transylvania
BELOIT — While Beloit College’s baseball team entered last weekend’s Midwest Conference Tournament as a third-seed, the fact the Buccaneers came away champions shouldn’t paint them as a Cinderella team.

Hononegah's Maddie Midgett to golf at Carthage College
ROCKTON — Maddie Midgett came to the conclusion that to really be in the swing of things as a competitive golfer she needed to take less swings on a softball diamond. “I’d played softball forever,” the Hononegah High School senior said. “I’d played on the jayvees at Hononegah for two years. But it really came down to making a choice between golf and softball.” After earning All-NIC-10 First Team for...
