 Two-time defending class AA champion Chatmanville had an outside chance of getting back to the state tournament. Sophomore Brody Dalton and teammates made it happen, although the Tigers were beat out of the semifinals by eventual champion Williamstown. Dalton was honored by being selected as second team all-starter by the West Virginia Sports Rider Association on Wednesday. Two other area players received honorable mention, including his teammate Isaiah Smith. The duo was joined by Mingo Central's Jarius Jackson. Mountaintop Sports congratulates all three on this outstanding achievement. For most of April and a good chunk of May, especially at Great American Ballpark, the Cincinnati Reds feasted on a smorgasbord of offense using a variety of ways to punish pitchers. The runners on base, no problem. Looking for a big hit, they noticed them frequently. A homerun, lots of those to go around. Through three games against the Giants this week, it's been homers or nothing. The Reds were limited to three hits and Wednesday scored a nothing loss and dropped their third consecutive game. Of the five runs they've scored in the series, four have come via solo homeruns. The club leads the National League in home batting average and second in the National League in overall batting and homers and sits first in slugging. The two teams will conclude the series this afternoon in a 12.35 p.m. start on Fox Sports 95.9 FM and 104.5 FM.
