Unioto Blanks London for Baseball Elite 8 Berth

Article Presented By Rathkamp Financial…

The Unioto Shermans are one step away from the State Final Four, following a 1-0 victory over the London Raiders Tuesday in the Division 4 Regional Semis at Ohio University.

Lefty KB Perkins fanned 10 Raiders’ batters while scattering six hits over seven innings on the mound. Perkins also provided the offense the Shermans needed with an RBI single in the bottom of the fourth inning, driving in Keegan Snyder who tripled with one out in the inning.

London had three serious scoring opportunities, stranding runners at second and third in the third inning, along with wasting a triple in the fourth by stranding that runner, and back-to-back singles in the fifth as Perkins struck-out the next batter and forced a fly out to end the inning.

The (23-6) Shermans advance to the Division 4 Regional Championship Game June 5th at Ohio University against Indian Valley, who advanced with a 12-2 win over Carrollton.
