Tuesday’s prep highlights | Sports | news-gazette.com – Champaign/Urbana News-Gazette

In baseball

➜ Champaign Central 12, Urbana 0. Kendall Crawford’s first varsity pitching start was memorable, as he fired a no-hitter for the host Maroons (7-4) during a Big 12 Conference success against the Tigers (0-8). Crawford finished with five strikeouts and was supported by Mitchell Crompton’s four RBI, as well as by Jake Munroe and Jack Doubet each recording two hits and three runs scored.

➜ Clifton Central 11, Watseka 8. Watseka scored seven runs in the top of the fourth inning to take a rather commanding lead on Clifton Central, but the Comets rallied for nine runs in the bottom of the sixth for the Sangamon Valley Conference win. Conner Curry went 1 for 2 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored to pace the Warriors (2-3), while Conner Bell and Braiden Walwer had a hit and an RBI apiece.

➜ St. Joseph-Ogden 11, St. Thomas More 2. St. Joseph-Ogden stayed unbeaten in Illini Prairie Conference play with a second victory against St. Thomas More in as many days thanks to a six-run first inning that proved to be more than enough offensive production. Keaton Nolan went 1 of 2 with a double and two RBI to lead the Spartans (12-1), who also got two hits each from Crayton Burnett, Andrew Beyers and Tyler Altenbaumer. Altenbaumer picked up the win after giving up two runs on three hits and striking out seven in five innings. Blake Staab and Dawson Magrini both went 1 for 3 with an RBI for the Sabers (3-6).

In softball

➜ St. Joseph-Ogden 18, St. Thomas More 1. Make that consecutive blowout Illini Prairie Conference wins on back-to-back days for St. Joseph-Ogden against St. Thomas More. Maggie Ward and Kelsey Martlage had two hits apiece for the Spartans (9-4), while Alyssa Acton picked up the win after striking out seven and giving up just two hits. The Sabers fell to 0-4 with the loss.

In girls’ soccer

➜ Mahomet-Seymour 11, Charleston 0. Mahomet-Seymour scored its first goal just seven seconds into Tuesday’s Apollo Conference match, had a seven-goal lead 25 minutes in and cruised to a third straight shutout victory. Cayla Koerner led the Bulldogs (4-1) with two goals and two assists. Grace Lietz had two goals of her own, while both Brea Benson and Delaney King chipped in one goal and two assists.

➜ Normal Community 7, Champaign Central 0. In their first match since April 21 because of a COVID-19 pause, the visiting Maroons (1-2) dropped a Big 12 Conference affair.

➜ St. Thomas More 2, Monticello 2. The visiting Sabers (2-1-1) and Sages (3-2-3) could not decide a winner in Illini Prairie Conference action. Tatum DeVriese scored both of STM’s goals — one in each half — with the latter assisted by Cede Rentschler.

➜ Uni High 10, Meridian 1. Uni High followed up a season-opening blowout win Monday with more of the same on Tuesday, scoring all 10 of its goals in the first half to take down Meridian. Mikayla Blanke led the Illineks (2-0) with four goals, while Maxine van der Donk chipped in two, including one off a header.
