Trailing 3-2 with two runners on base and two outs in the bottom of the 7th inning, the Hillsboro Indians pull a rabbit out of the hat when what appeared to be a routine fly ball that would have ended the game, was dropped by the Saint Clairsville fielder.
Saint Clairsville scored three runs in the first inning and led the entire game, until the final play of the game. The Indians scored both of their runs an inning later and the 3-2 score stayed that way going into Hillsboro’s last at-bat.
Both Indians runners scored off the Nick Lewis fly ball that popped out of the Saint Clairsville fielders’ glove as Hillsboro pulls out the 4-3 win.
Hillsboro returns to Teays Valley High School at 3pm Saturday to face Bloom Carroll for the Division 2 Regional Championship, with the winner advancing to the State Final 4 in Akron.

A two-run first inning for the Lucasville Valley Indians turned out to be all the offense they would need in their 2-0 win over Paint Valley, Friday, in the Division 4 Regional Baseball Semis at Lancaster’s Beaver Field.
Bearcats starter Brock Blanton yielded only five hits in the game, but Valley’s scoring first inning also saw them pick up three of their five hits for the game. Blanton had four strikeouts against Indians batters.
George Arnett got the win for Valley, giving up six hits in 7 innings of work, fanning five PV batters.
Valley’s first inning offense came on a lead-off double from Andrew Andronis, who later scored on a one-out single by Brecken Williams for a 1-0 lead. The final run of the game came one batter later, when George Arnett’s RBI double scored Willams.
Paint Valley stranded six runners in the game, with their biggest scoring threat being in the top of the fifth inning when Devlen Spradlin and Cadyn Norman started the inning with singles. Both were left on base when Arnett struck out the next PV batter then induced the next two to fly out to end the inning.
The Bearcats did get a two-out single in the 7th from Norman, but was left stranded when the next batter was retired.
(19-11) Lucasville Valley has 2 runs/5 hits/no errors/ stranding 3 runners.
(18-12) Paint Valley had 0 runs/6 hits/0 errors/stranding 6 runners.
