Norwalk, Western pick up run-rule wins

CLYDE — The Norwalk baseball team got back in the win column with a 12-2 win in six innings over host Clyde in a rescheduled SBC Lake Division game on Saturday. The Truckers (13-6, 6-2) still have faint hopes of a league title share after a 7-0 loss to Perkins on May 7. The Pirates (12-4, 8-1) then lost to the Fliers (5-10, 2-6) on May 8 to at least leave the door open. However, Perkins must also lose at home on Tuesday against Tiffin Columbian (4-11, 1-5), and the Truckers need to beat both Bellevue and the Tornadoes for any slim league title hopes. In Saturday's game, Carter Harp led the way for Norwalk. He was 3 for 4 with a double and a home run while driving in four runs and scoring three times. He pitched all six innings on the mound, where he allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits with five strikeouts and three walks. Also for Norwalk, Wesley Shupe doubled with two RBIs, and Canyon Craig singled and drove in three. Landon Ferkel and Kaedyn Warner each had a single and an RBI. The Truckers visit Lexington (12-8) on Monday and Columbian on Wednesday. Norwalk 350 022 — 12 7 1 Clyde 100 100 — 2 7 7 WP: Harp; LP: Yohe 2B: (N) Harp, Shupe; (C) Yohe; HR: (N) Harp W.
