WAPAKONETA — With five runs in the last two innings the Wapakoneta ACME baseball team overcame a 5-2 lead to defeat New Bremen 7-5 Tuesday evening at Wapakoneta.
“It was an ugly game at the start,” Wapakoneta assistant coach Nick Sammetinger said. “We got it done in the end with clutch hits and got the runs when we needed them.”
New Bremen coach Logan O’Neil pointed to some mistakes late in the game but praised his team’s effort.

ST. MARYS — The head of the athletic department for the St. Marys School District has stepped down.
Athletic Director Joe Bline issued his resignation Tuesday morning, effective July 31. Bline told The Evening Leader he accepted the same position for the Marysville School District. Bline's decision comes a few days after St. Marys Superintendent Mary Riepenhoff resigned to take a position with Race to the Top.
NEW BREMEN — A quick start and dominating pitching helped spur the New Bremen ACME team to a five-inning win over New Knoxville Monday night.
“Our pitchers really need to work on throwing strikes,” New Knoxville head coach Calib Allen said of his team’s 18-0 loss. “We gave up nine walks in the first two innings and that is unacceptable. We have to have our pitchers be competitive on the mound. They have to keep the ball low to get ground balls.”
WAPAKONETA — Dylan Knoch didn’t take over as Wapakoneta’s lead-off hitter until midseason.
Monday night he looked more like a cleanup hitter.
Knoch hit a lead-off home run in the first inning that proved to be the only offense Wapak would need in a 3-0 win over rival St. Marys in an ACME baseball game at Wapakoneta High School.
