⚾ Cardinals’ Bats Go Quiet in Conference Loss to Battling Bees

The Mentor Cardinals varsity baseball team fell 5-0 to the Medina Battling Bees on Thursday in a conference road game. Both teams tallied six hits, but Mentor couldn’t bring any runners home.

Johnny Prentice and Peter Kennedy led the Cardinals at the plate with two hits each. Despite matching Medina in hits, Mentor couldn’t capitalize, while Medina scored once in the fourth inning and added four more in the sixth to take control.

Pat Collins started for Mentor, pitching 3.1 innings and allowing one run on two hits with three walks. Jacob Gunvelson handled the final 2.2 innings, giving up four earned runs on four hits, with two walks and two strikeouts.

The loss drops Mentor to 13-4 overall and 9-2 in conference play. They’ll aim to rebound today with a road game against the 18-2 University School Preppers in Hunting Valley. First pitch is at 5 p.m.

⚾ Lake Catholic Falls to Padua in 3-1 Conference Loss

The Lake Catholic Cougars boys varsity baseball team came up short on the road Thursday, falling 3-1 to the Padua Franciscan Bruins in a closely contested Crown Conference matchup.

Padua jumped out to an early lead with a run in the bottom of the first inning. The Cougars managed to tie the game in the sixth, thanks to a solo home run by Tyler Hribar—Lake Catholic’s only run of the game. But the Bruins responded quickly, plating two runs in the bottom half of the inning to seal the win.

Lake Catholic struggled offensively, recording just three hits and striking out ten times. AJ Trobenter led the team with two of those hits, while Hribar’s home run accounted for the third.

On the mound, Shea Sievers got the start and took the loss, pitching three innings and allowing one earned run on two hits, with two walks and two strikeouts. Frankie Trinetti pitched the final three innings, surrendering two earned runs on five hits while striking out five.

With the loss, the Cougars drop to 15-3 overall and 5-3 in the conference. They look to bounce back today in Macedonia against the Nordonia Knights (3-11), with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m.

🏀 Mobley, Garland, and Hunter All Questionable as Cavaliers Head to Indy

As the Cleveland Cavaliers prepare for a pivotal Game 3 showdown against the Indiana Pacers, injury concerns continue to cloud the team’s outlook. Key contributors Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, and De’Andre Hunter are all listed as questionable ahead of Friday’s must-win contest in Indianapolis.

Mobley remains sidelined with an ankle sprain suffered in the fourth quarter of Game 1, when he came down awkwardly after a jump shot and landed on Indiana center Myles Turner's foot. The play drew scrutiny from the Cavaliers' coaching staff, who expressed frustration with the lack of a foul call on what they deemed a dangerous closeout.

Hunter, meanwhile, is dealing with a dislocated thumb sustained in the same game. The injury occurred when he was knocked to the floor while attempting a dunk. Though he returned to play after a brief trip to the locker room, the injury has impacted his effectiveness, particularly given that it affects his shooting hand.

Garland’s toe injury has kept him out since the second game of the team’s first-round series against the Miami Heat. If he’s unable to suit up on Friday, it will mark his fifth consecutive absence.

With the Cavaliers down 2-0 in the series and facing elimination pressure, even the return of one of these players could provide a much-needed lift. Head coach Kenny Atkinson had previously shown optimism that the extra rest between games might aid recovery, but his latest comments reflect a more cautious tone as the team prepares for Game 3 on the road.
