Whitko sports update
Baseball
The Whitko baseball squad has opened their season with a 2-0 record. The first victory came against #6 in 3A New Haven 7-4. In the first inning, Kurt Boggs, Nathan Sherrard, and Trevor Sleighter scored on a triple by Alex Stoddard and Stoddard scored on single by Coty West. The other set of scoring came late in the seventh inning, Colin Nicodemus and Boggs scored on a single by Sherrard and Alex Winger came in on a wild pitch.
"I couldn't ask for a better way to start the season than to go on the road and beat the #6 team in 3A," Whitko head coach Erik Hisner said. “Kurt (Boggs) threw the ball extremely well. We were not expecting him to throw a complete game, but he kept his pitch count down.”
The second victory came with a shutout win over Harding 29-0. Whitko carried big bats as Alex Winger went 3-4 from the plate, had 4 runs, 7 RBIs, and 2 home runs. Kody Brandenburg went perfect from the plate at 3-3, had 3 runs scored, and 4 RBIs, while Coty West also went perfect at the plate going 2-2 and posted 2 RBIs.
Whitko heads to Lakeland Park on Saturday for a doubleheader at 10 am.
