The sophomore right-hander no-hit Big Northern runner-up North Boone and also hit two home runs Tuesday, May 13, in a 10-0, five-inning victory that clinched the conference title for Byron.

    What do you do at a horse show? Well, if you are Carson Akins, you play catch. But only because there wasn’t enough room to swing a bat. His older sister is on NIU’s equestrian team, but Akins never had any interest in horses. “Not me. I don’t know why. It just wasn’t me,” he said. “I was always a baseball player.

    The way last season ended haunts Byron baseball coach Dale Hartman. He can’t forget losing 4-2 at No. 3 sub-sectional seed Port Byron Riverdale on a three-run short-porch home run in the regional finals.
