innings |

innings, but eventually Canton prevailed 5-4 over the GHS
sophomore baseball team, Tuesday.
With the loss, the young
Streaks fell to 16-13 on the season with one game remaining
Thursday at home against Moline.
With both teams parading
out a number of pitchers, the teams battled tough. Canton
took a 1-0 lead with a run in the first inning, but saw GHS
respond with a tying run in the top of the second. Canton
again took the lead with a solo run in the fifth, but it was
short-lived as the Streaks plated three in the sixth. Two
more Canton runs in the bottom of the frame left the score
tied 4-4 and it stayed that way uintil the bottom of the
ninth.

unearned run in two and two-thirds innings of relief. NIck

innings. Logan Davis and Dylan Klinck followed and took the
game into the seventh.

Third
try successful for Richwoods |
5/11 - (METAMORA) Peoria
Richwoods proved that anything is possible on any given day
as they posted an 8-5 victory over GHS' varsity baseball
team Friday in the Metamora Classic.
After getting clobbered
twice, the Knights took advantage of some shaky Streak
pitching, some fielding errors and a punch-less offense to
beat an opponent they may likely see in the Regional next
week.
With the loss, GHS' varsity fell to 23-8. The Streaks
were scheduled to play on Saturday in the Classic but were
rained out for the second year in a row.
Chans Sugden drew
the pitching start for GHS and was greeted with four runs in
the first inning. The Knights tagged him for three more in
the third to take a commanding 7-0 lead. Ian Milligan came
on in relief and held Richwoods to only one run the rest of
the contest, giving the Streaks a chance to rally. The
offense, unfortunately, wasn't quite up to the task as GHS
could only manage five runs off Knight pitcher Zach Boland,
who went the distance. The Streaks plated two runs in the
fourth, one in the fifth and two more in the seventh.
Next
up for the Streaks will be a non-conference game at home on
Thursday against Moline and the weekend Streaks' Classic.

their side of the second. After Rock Island regained the
lead with another run in the bottom of the inning, the
Streaks took the lead for good in the fourth with a pair of
runs. They would add solo runs in the sixth and seventh to
make the final margin three runs.

GHS varsity baseball coach Arnie Gonzalez were worried

doubleheader on Monday. Morton (13-3) proved to be the lucky
opponent as they topped the Streaks 5-2 on their new field.
While starting pitcher Carson Cheesman pitched well, the GHS
bats did not support the left-hander. Morton scored an
unearned run in the first inning to take the lead. Two more
unearned runs in the third made it 3-0. A dropped fly ball
and a wild throw proved damaging to the Streaks as Morton
would take advantage. GHS came back with two runs in the
fifth inning to cut the deficit to 3-2 as Drew Diaz and Nate
Perez came up with RBI's. Unfortunately, that was as close
as the Streaks would get. Morton scored two more insurance
runs in the sixth.

as they swept Quincy 2-0, 9-4 at Sundberg Field.
With the
wins, the Streaks improved to 3-1 in Western Big 6 play and
14-3, overall. They will go into the third weekend of league

was plated on an RBI single from Austin Gernant.
Tanner Guss-Laird,
who scored the first run, had two hits to lead the Streaks'

and Gernant had the other baseraps.
Quincy's starting
pitcher Adrew Eilers took the loss. He went five innings.

Matt Lansing threw the seventh.
The Streaks jumped out to a
3-0 lead in the first inning. Chans Sugden tripled in the
first two runs and scored Cheesman's ground out. Quincy came
back with two in the second to cut the deficit to 3-2, but

pulled away. Chad Johnson clubbed a two-run homer for GHS'
final two runs.

lot zeroes...that's how Tuesday's sophomore baseball game

bigger inning proved to be decisive as the Dragons edged the
Streaks 6-4.
With the non-conference loss, the GHS
sophomores fell to 9-7 on the season.
Pekin scored all six
of their runs in the second inning to take a lead, they
would never relinquish. The Streaks would answer with four
in the bottom of the third to cut the deficit, but after
that neither team could score. Peyton Isaacson, who took the
pitching loss, drove in three of the Streaks' runs with a
base-clearing triple. Nick Foster then drove him home.

the GHS sophomore baseball team 14-9 on a windy afternoon in
the Quad Cities.
With the
non-conference loss, the Streak sophs fell to 9-6 on the
season. They will host Pekin Tuesday.
Things started out in
a promising fashion for the Streaks against Alleman as they
plated three runs. However, Alleman responded with four in
their side of the frame. Another run for the Streaks tied
the score in the top of the second, but Alleman came back
with three. GHS then scored four to take an 8-7 lead before

squared off in a pitchers' duel. The game was scoreless
until the fifth when U.T. got on the scoreboard with a
sacrifice fly. GHS tied the score in the sixth. They got a
single run, but left the bases loaded. The missed
opportunity to get more runs came back to haunt the Streaks
as a fielding error helped U.T. get what would prove to the
winning run in the bottom of the sixth.

varsity Streaks have a non-conference game scheduled for
Thursday against Pekin at home and Saturday they will host

| Washington
clobbers Streaks |
3/27 - It was a game the GHS
varsity baseball team hope they can quickly forget. Tuesday
night, Washington pounded out 20 hits in a 15-3
non-conference victory over the Streaks.
The loss broke the
GHS varsity's six-game winning streak and inflated the
pitching staff's ERA. With the loss, the Streaks fell to 6-2
on the season.
The game started out competitively, but
didn't take long to get out of hand. Washington plated two
runs in the top of the first inning and GHS scored two in
their side. After scoreless second inning, things went south
for Streak starting pitcher Drake Sykes. The Panthers took
advantage of a couple of errors and scored four in the top
of the third for a 6-2 lead. They added another run in the
fourth and three in the fifth to widen their margin to 10-2.
In the sixth, the Panthers had six hits off Streaks reliever
Matt Lansing to take a 15-2 lead. Chans Sugden led off the
bottom of the frame with a homerun over the centerfield
fence, but it was far from being enough to keep the game
going as Washington ended it on the mercy rule.
All three
GHS pitchers gave up runs. Sykes took the loss, allowing
seven runs, but only three earned. Colton Crain allowed
three and Lansing, five. Offensively, the Streaks didn't get
much done. Beyond Sugden's blast, GHS managed only three
more hits - one each by Tanner Guss-Laird, Chad Johnson and
Seth Morling.
Wednesday, the Streaks will travel to East
Peoria looking for answers on both the mound and at the
plate. |

Freshmen open season with win |
3/26 - It seemed like a typical
early-season freshmen game. Monday, the GHS freshmen
baseball team topped Rock Island 17-7 in five innings for
their first win of the season.
Walks, errors and an
occasional hit fueled both teams' offenses. The young
Streaks took a 4-0 lead into the third inning and saw Rock
Island plate three to close the gap. A three-run bottom of
the third gave GHS a 7-3 advantage that Rocky promptly wiped
out in the top of the fourth. A nine-run bottom of the
fourth eventually put the Streaks on course for the
five-inning victory. They added one more in the fifth to end
the contest.
Todd Motz, the third Streak pitcher, earned the
victory. Cal Morling, Matt Kohl and Josh Fliss had two hits
apiece to lead the GHS attack. Christopher Kelley, J.J.

on the mound for the Streaks, allowing just one uneared run in the
second inning. He allowed three hits, walked one, hit one
and struck out two as he seemed in command throughout.

had to come from behind for the win. They scored a solo run
