BASEBALL
Plant 8, Strawberry Crest 0
All nine players in the starting lineup reached base, as a well-balanced Plant offense -- combined with six shutout innings from junior Brock Fagler -- guided the Panthers to a 8-0 victory over Strawberry Crest on Tuesday night.

The next inning, Connor Scott (2 for 3 with a double) lined a shot for a home run over the fence in right to make it 5-0 and the rout was on. Mike Paleaz was 2 for 3 with two runs scored.
The Chargers had the leadoff man on in the first four innings but Fagler was able to wiggle out of it every time as he induced two double plays and struck out six.
