After playing 10 full games and one rain-halted game in the first 13 days of the season, the Redskins deserved it.

Wapak easily dispatched the Kenton Wildcats with a 16-0 five-inning run-rule win in a Western Buckeye League varsity baseball game Thursday at Wapakoneta High School.

SHAWNEE TOWNSHIP — Twenty up.  Twenty down.

Only the 21st Shawnee Indians batter got the best of Johnny Crawford.

The Wapakoneta Redskins junior came within one out of throwing a complete-game no-hitter in Wapak’s 4-0 win over the Shawnee Indians in a Western Buckeye League varsity baseball game Tuesday night at Shawnee High School.

A hanging changeup was his only misstep of the night.
