The Greenwood Indian baseball team will be making their 6th trip to State after winning the Athens Sectional Championship on Tuesday.

In the Sectional Semi-Final against St. Thomas Aquinas/Lena, Greenwood got out to a big lead in the first inning and never looked back, scoring 8 runs while sending 11 batters to the plate.  Greenwood had 4 hits, 4 walks and were helped by several Cavalier errors to open up the big lead.  The Indians would score 2 more in the second inning and five in the 4th to win 15-1 in 5 innings.  Jonah Hinker was 2 for 3 including a 2 run homer, he finished with 4 RBI's.  His brother, Xander was 1 for 3 with 3 runs scored.  Sully Whitford also had a couple of hits.   Cooper Bredlau got the win on the mound.

In the Sectional Final versus Edgar, Greenwood again got out to an early lead, scoring 2 runs in the 1st inning.  They would score one each in the 3rd and 4th to go up 4-0.  Sully Whitford got the start in the Final and did not allow a hit until the 3rd inning.  In fact, Edgar only had 4 baserunners in 4 innings.  Greenwood would score two more runs in the top of the 6th to make it a 6-0 game before Edgar rallied in the bottom of the inning with 3 runs on 3 hits including a 2 RBI single from Kaden Goodwin.  Greenwood would get another run in the top of the 7th to give them a 4 run lead heading into the bottom of the 7th.  Edgar would get a lead off walk in the 7th only to have that erased on a double play.  Xander Hinker fielded a ground ball near second, stepped on the bag and fired to first to get Drew Guden and just like that there were two outs.  Westin Schmitz, who came on in relief of Whitford in the 6th, hit the next two batters but then a line drive right to Hinker at short ended the game and Greenwood won the Sectional Title 7-3.  

Greenwood (17-6) now makes their 6th trip to State, first since back to back trips in 2012 and 2013.  Edgar was looking to make their first trip to State.

The Division 4 semi-finals and final will be played on Monday, June 28th at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium, Grand Chute, WI.
