Shelbyville baseball’s and softball’s Stand Up to Cancer event raised more than a $1,000 that will be donated to the Cancer Association of Shelby County – and produced a pair of wins on the diamonds.

Shelbyville senior pitcher Cheyenne Eads collected career strikeout No. 500 in the Golden Bears’ 11-1 victory. Eads pitched the first three innings Tuesday and struck out all nine Connersville batters she faced.

A five-run second inning put Shelbyville (6-4) in control. Addison Stieneker pitched the final two innings to close out the Golden Bears’ fourth-straight win.

At Barnett Field, Shelbyville baseball fell behind 2-0 before Luke Jackson belted a grand slam in the fourth inning which proved to be enough run support for Aiden Smith and Luke Brinkman.

Smith pitched six innings, allowed two hits and four walks while striking out eight in a 5-3 Hoosier Heritage Conference victory over Pendleton Heights.

Brinkman pitched a scoreless seventh inning to get the save and improve the Golden Bears to 5-3 (3-2 HHC).

The Arabians dropped to 7-3 (3-2) and host the Golden Bears today in game two of the conference series.

On the softball diamond, Destiny Johnson delivered a run-scoring sacrifice bunt in the first that scored Eads (photo), who had a one-out single earlier in the inning.

In the second, Gracie Crafton walked and moved to third on a passed ball and wild pitch. Hailey Maulden’s sacrifice bunt scored the freshman while the sophomore reached on a throwing error.

Addysyn Wettrick followed with a walk. Eads’ second hit of the game scored Maulden. Stieneker drove in two more runs with a double and a Johnson single extended the lead to 6-1.

Maulden finished the game with two hits and four RBI.

Shelbyville is at Franklin (4-4) Thursday.
