WAYNESVILLE — Blanchester pitchers Austin Dick and Drey Dees combined on a one-hitter Monday as the Wildcats defeated Waynesville 8-2 in non-league baseball.
“That was a nice team win,” manager Aaron Lawson. “We put together great at-bats, productive outs and had some clutch two-out hits.”
Austin Dick started on the mound and turned the ball over to Drey Dees to finish things and complete the one-hitter. The solid pitching was backed by strong defense from the Blanchester nine.
“Austin had a rough first but settled in nicely after that,” Lawson said. “Dre came in and pitched with the lead. Our defense played great. The outfield did a great job of covering some ground. When the defense plays like that, it gives the pitcher all the confidence in the world to pitch to contact.”
Blanchester is 15-4 on the year. Waynesville is now 7-7.
Dick and Colin Elston both knocked in two runs for BHS.
