Some senior classes in the past have put up a fight, before eventually becoming victim to the apparently unending winning streak by the faculty in the annual Senior-Faculty game.
Some even go so far as to make it interesting before being forced to take the L.
The Class of 2025 did nether.
The Faculty was so dominant it was not only a shutout, presumably the first ever, but it what would have been a run-rule but was graciously permitted to go the distance.
However in so doing, it ended with an immaculate inning as Coach Doc Crowley threw six strikes (the beginning count is 2-1) to wrap it up.
The announced final was 14-0.
There were already two first inning runs and two errors when John Weaver, after a walkup song of Dream Weaver, hit an inside the park home run, the only way to do it, on a deep fly that Noah Harrel could not get to and it was 4-0.
It was already over.
It wasn’t that the group eyeing graduation did not try to find an answer. It just did not matter who was pitching.Dylan
Mary Haynes was followed to the rubber by Emma Ferguson, Farrah Stringer, Jace Washburn, Todd, and Dakota Mattson. Nothing worked.
In a chaotic second inning with Ferguson pitching there were four errors by the seniors – two on one play – and three walks. Consequently, it really got ugly as the deficit swelled to 9-0.
Braxton Stubblefield and Racheal May started the Faulty third with singles and walks to Doug Sanders and Beth Miesner forced in one run and another by Emily Crowley got a second and a ground ball by Coach Doc Crowley got a third and it was 12-0.
In the fourth Coach Arron Kimes doubled and scored on a Coach Bailey Stringer single, who scored on an error that allowed Coach Chad Simson to reach .
The seniors managed just three hits, those by Todd, Aiden Carter, and Saydon Gordon and did not get a runner to second base.
