GAME #4 (Pool Play) Sunday vs Liberal
Game #4 (in pool play) with Wellington 18U vs host Liberal (both squads (3-0) are in a rain delay in the 5th inning with the Dukes down 1-9. No more baseball tonight, no update available at this time for game times on Monday. Win or lose, the DUKES will make bracket play. Stay tuned! GO DUKES!!
GAME #3 (Pool Play) Sunday vs Grant County (Ulysses)
If you went to the concession stand in Liberal Saturday afternoon and had to wait very long, you probably missed the WELLINGTON vs HAVEN game at the Sr. Babe Ruth State Tourney, which ended after just 3 innings. Final Score: THE DUKES 20 HAVEN 00. With 17 hits and the 20 runs, this outcome was never in doubt. Brayden Higginbotham was on the mound for WELLINGTON and threw a 3 inning run-rule no hitter, gave up 2BB and struck out 1.
Congratulations to the WELLINGTON DUKES 18U Senior Babe Ruth Team (the guys on the top row in the pic!)...the 18U DUKES came out on top Friday evening in Game #1 vs Parsons at the STATE SR. BABE RUTH TOURNAMENT being held in Liberal this weekend. (8 team pool play format)
Good start Gentlemen!! Next action Saturday at 12:30pm vs Haven!
DUKES - 0 0 0 2 0 5 1 - 8 12 3
PARSONS - 0 0 0 0 4 2 0 - 6 11 3
WHS / WMS Volleyball Camp is underway this week through Thursday @ Wellington High School. About 30 or so young ladies are taking part in the 4 day summer tune-up with official FALL practice only about a month away! Coach Blake Brewster and his assistants put the girls through the fundamental rigors of the game. The Lady Crusader camp runs from 8AM to 10AM each day, then they assist with the WMS Lady Knights for an hour until 11AM. GO LADIES GO!!
Today was the final day of Crusader Football Camp and what a day it was...anyone that drove by the football field this morning had to think, "What the heck is going on? Who's that blue team out there?"
The 2018 WHS Football Camp is underway this week - all those planning on playing football this Fall are going through the paces with their coaches, from 8AM until Noon each day. The season opener is just 2 months away, the young men are working hard as they prepare for that opener (THERE) vs Collegiate on Aug.
I enjoy Coach Pitch Baseball & Softball - the future stars of Wellington and the general area!! "I knew them when...." :) Fun stuff - more pics (and the last pics for the 2018 season) at link below! Thanks for your support! We (RED RAVE POSTERS) will have a table setup Thursday at Worden (as you enter or exit) with 100's of photos to peruse! And they're only a buck! (4x6's) Hope to see ya!!
