Vian Wolverines go 1-2 in OK Kids Regional Tournament in Sallisaw
By David Seeley Sports Editor,

The Vian Wolverines age 10-and-younger baseball team went 1-2 in the 2023 OK Kids Age 10-and-Younger Regional Tournament, which took place last week at the Sallisaw Sports Complex.

After suffering a 22-1 loss to the Stigler Bandits in their opener, the Wolverines staved off elimination by holding off the Heavener Bombers by a score of 4-3 in last Wednesday afternoon’s loser’sbracket game.

However, Vian’s season came to a close with a 3-0 loss to the Talihina Patriots in the loser’s-bracket quarterfinals Thursday night.

In the loss to the Stigler Bandits, the Bandits erupted for 19 runs in the second inning as they sent 23 batters to the plate to put away the game.

The Wolverines were no-hit by Stigler’s pitching combination of Blaine Zachry and Colton Durfey. Zachry got the win, fanning four batters, while Durfey got three Ks for the three outs of the third inning after the first two Vian batters reached base.

Bronc Sumpter took the loss for the Wolverines. In Wednesday afternoon’s win over the Heavener Bombers, the Wolverines rallied from a 2-1 fourthinning deficit with a three-run fourth inning, highlighted by an RBI single by Tripp Sumpter, an RBI fielder’s choice by Creede Prior and an RBI single by Johnny Crutchfield, to put Vian ahead 4-2 after four innings.

The Bombers tried to rally in the fifth inning, scoring once, but starting pitcher Laken Pack got the last three batters out, including two by strikeouts, to preserve the complete-game victory. Pack recorded four strikeouts and scattered three hits.

After the Bombers scored once in the first inning, the Wolverines tied the game at 1 on a wild pitch that scored Pack, who led off the frame with a triple.

For the game, Pack tripled, Beau Hofstetter singled and scored once, Sumpter had an RBI single and scored once and Crutchfield had an RBI single.

In the loss to the Talihina Patriots, the Wolverines were two-hit by the Talihina duo of Roper Johnson and Brayson Goodrich, as both hits were singles by Henry Sullivan.

Sullivan was the hard-luck loser as he went four innings with three strikeouts as the Patriots scored twice in the first inning and once in the fourth inning.
