Ottawa Hills, Lake advance to D-III district finals
DEFIANCE — Ottawa Hills is one win away from a third consecutive district championship following an 8-1 victory over Archbold. Standing in the way is Lake, which outlasted Otsego 10-6 in the late game of the Division III districts, setting the stage for Saturday’s noon showdown with a regional berth on the line. “We got clutch hits, we scored in five of the six innings, and we got pretty good pitching,” summed up Ottawa Hills head coach Chris Hardman, who led the Green Bears to the state semifinals a year ago and now has his squad at 18-9 this season against a very challenging schedule. Deadlocked at 1-1, Ottawa Hills pushed across two runs in the bottom of the third and pulled away with one in the fourth and two in each of the fifth and sixth innings.

Evergreen’s Chamberlin breaks Ohio home run record in final at-bat
METAMORA, Ohio — In the final game of her superb four-year softball career at Evergreen High School, Vikings senior catcher Macy Chamberlin tied and then broke Ohio's all-time record for home runs on Thursday, hitting her 60th and 61st career homers in her team's 6-2 victory over visiting Port Clinton. “I couldn't have done it without my team,” Chamberlin said. “They have supported me throughout this whole year, through ups and downs, and through the pressure. Without this team, it wouldn't have been possible. “The only pressure I got was the pressure I gave myself. After games here and there, I would give myself pressure, but would come back the next day relaxed and ready to go.” Chamberlin, who was named first team All-Ohio the past two seasons, equaled the mark set by Hope Straight of Mount Vernon High School (from 2016-19) with a solo blast to right-center in the first inning against off of Redskins pitcher Ashton Sanchez.

A sharply hit ground ball by Otsego's Cailyn Rider with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the third ricocheted off of Maumee shortstop Lilly Duling's foot and straight to second baseman Julia Coutcher, who maintained her composure as if turning a routine 6-4-3 double play and proceeded to get the force...
