Wayne T&F meet called off; but it’s hot and heavy at Welcome Stadium
They tried, but it just couldn’t be done.
At Wayne.
The Endurance Sports Wayne track & field inv. is history, wiped out by a couple lightning delays. By the time a start time of 7 p.m. had been decided five teams had already vacated Huber Heights.
Other coaches wanted to save their runners for the Roosevelt Memorial at Welcome Stadium on Saturday.
Rescheduling the Wayne meet for Saturday was scratched because of the many proms throughout the area.
It was business as usual — after a couple delays — in Day 1 of the Roosevelt Memorial.
Fifth Third Field will be busy with tripleheader baseball games on Saturday and Sunday.
Friday’s Vandalia Butler vs. Troy baseball game has been rescheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday. New Bremen plays Upper Scioto Valley to open Saturday’s play at 1 p.m. Troy Christian plays Dayton Christian at 7 p.m.
On Sunday, it’s Celina vs. Coldwater at 1 p.m.; Covington vs. St. Henry at 4 p.m. and Franklin-Monroe vs. Arcanum at 7 p.m.
Of course, that’s all weather permitting.

Elks Planting Seeds in D-I Baseball
The Division I baseball tournament draw will be Sunday in Troy.
Centerville bolstered its high-seed chances with a significant 7-6 win over Springboro Thursday, April 30 at Fifth Third Field.
“It’s been an unusual year because there are no dominant (big-school) teams in the area like in the past,” said Elks coach Terry Dickten, who has guided his team to an 11-4 season. “Northmont’s tough. Fairmont is playing well and then you have Beavercreek and Springboro.”
What has been his team’s winning blueprint?
“Pitching, defense and timely hitting,” Dickten said. “We’re not self-destructing, like in our earlier loss to Northmont (5-4).”
Stalwarts include .500 hitters Logan Hanes and Jake Wilson and pitchers Andrew Brown and Beau Adkins.

Chitwood Goes Deep At Fifth Third Field
Smoke erupted from the scoreboard in the Bellbrook-Milton-Union baseball game at Fifth Third Field Thursday April 30. It came compliments of Bellbrook junior Tommy Chitwood.
Chitwood slammed a home run into the Dragons Lair in left field. The dinger helped propel the Golden Eagles to a 10-0 mercy rule win over the Bulldogs.
It’s a moment Chitwood will cherish the rest of his life.
“That’s definitely my career highlight,” Chitwood said. “I was halfway between first and second when the horn started blaring and I realized I had a homer. Then, the whole team met me at home plate.”
At 5-foot-6, 150 pounds, Chitwood doesn’t fit the image of a slugger. He has three home runs this season for 13-4 Bellbrook.
