11th Region Baseball: Brook's walk-off gives Central 3-2 win over LCA

6/5/2021

In the most intense moments of the most important game of the season, Dawson Hall kept one simple thought in his mind. "Just throw the ball," the Madison Central senior left-hander said. Hall worked out of trouble in the sixth and seventh innings against Lexington Christian Academy on Saturday afternoon in the opening round of the 11th Region Tournament at Don Richardson Field.

The Indians came into the 2020 season confident that they would have a chance to compete for another 11th Region Tournament championship.
And with good reason.

Madison Central won 27 games the previous year and returned a deep, experienced line-up that included lots of pitching and an offense led by a Division I infielder.

Just a couple more innings...

It happened more times than I can remember. And, admittedly, it always annoyed me. Here's the scenario.

Just a few years ago, Bryce Travis was just an average high school pitcher. He was reaching the low 80s with his fastball, but didn't really have a great assortment of pitches or outstanding control.

11th Region Baseball: Indians slip past Scott County 1-0

5/27/2019

Lucas Myers had a little extra motivation when he took the mound against Scott County on Monday afternoon at Don Richardson Field. He wanted to erase some bad memories. "I gave up four runs against them last year," Myers said. "I was looking for a little bit of revenge." In last year's 11th Region Tournament title game, the Cardinals put together a big late rally, which included a two-run homer off of Myers. The Indians hung for an 8-6 win. A year later, Myers faced the Cardinals again in another pressure-packed situation.

It's something special: Central's Naugle, McQuain ready for the next level

6/22/2018

Matt McQuain and Keegan Naugle certainly aren’t very imposing figures when they step on to the baseball field. Both are only about 5-foot-8. Their size, however, has never held them back. McQuain and Naugle have played key roles in Madison Central’s success the past few seasons. They helped the Indians win an 11th Region Tournament title this year.
