The Wabash Apache baseball team started the season playing in the Blackford invitational Saturday, April 6.

The Apaches broke out the long ball, hitting six home runs for the day to defeat Wes-Del 18-9 in game one to setup the championship game with Muncie Central, who had defeated Blackford. After hitting three home runs in game one, Wabash matched that feat in game two, topping the Bearcats 14-11 to win the tourney.

The Apaches made a statement early, when leadoff hitter Landon Cole blasted a solo shot over the center field fence to start the game. Wabash wouldn’t stop there as Kyle Kelsheimer reached on an error and was brought home with a single from Shea Beauchamp.

On April 5, at Floyd Central the Norse trailed 2-0 heading to the third before they made some noise. An Andy Maggart single, which was the lone Norse hit of the game, was followed by four walks to knot the score at 2.

Floyd Central went on to score seven more runs to hand Northfield the loss. The Norse struggled defensively, committing 4 errors.
