Will Smithers Shuts Out Texas Wind

Will Smithers, Freshman Phenom for NCA's Varsity Baseball Lions, went the distance today, shutting out Texas Wind Homeschool 1-0 over 7 innings of work! Smithers gave up only 2 hits on the day, striking out 11 batters. He also delivered a huge line drive base hit to center field in the bottom of the 4th, which scored Aidan Adams from 2nd, and gave him the Lions' only RBI of the day, which proved to be enough for the win! The Lions Fielders had Smithers' back all day as well! Sophomore Levi Wohlgemuth, for example, dove for a hard hit ground ball to 2nd in the top of the 4th and promptly threw the runner out at 1st, a play good enough for ESPN Sports Center's "Play of the Day," then helped turn a double play in that same inning! NCA will begin district play tomorrow at 4:00pm at Jim Walton Field against Muenster Sacred Heart, so if you haven't already, come out and watch this team play some baseball!
