The Panthers stole nine bases and Roberts fired a three-hitter with 11 strikeouts, no walks and one hit batsman as they dispatched visiting Heath 7-1 in a Licking County League crossover win on April 16.

JOHNSTOWN ― Trailing late on the road against rival Northridge, Johnstown baseball found itself in a familiar position on April 14. So when Erik Marohl bounced a ground-rule double over the center field fence leading off the sixth inning, it provided just the jolt the Johnnies needed for another comeback victory. They rallied for three runs to tie it at 5-5, then scored four more in the seventh to beat the youthful but vastly improved Vikings 9-6 in the Licking County League-Cardinal Division.

HANOVER ― Evan Roberts wasn't on board with the pitch that was called in a tight, late-game situation. However, on a very chilly day when Licking Valley's stellar senior righthander was firing a three-hitter with 11 strikeouts, no one was going to question him. "They called for a fastball, but I shook it off," Roberts said about facing Granville cleanup hitter Jacob Smith with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth inning, holding on to a 2-0 lead.
