NOTRE DAME OUTLASTS ORAN 2-1

Tommy Wencewicz plugged the rightcenter field gap to score Wes Steele in the bottom of the eighth inning as Notre Dame High escaped visiting Oran 2-1 in an impromptu game Thursday.

Brian Obermann picked up the win in relief after John O'Rourke pitched six strong innings. Obermann threw two innings, allowed two hits, no walks and struck out two. O'Rourke allowed three hits and a walk while fanning six.

Oran's Dustin Glastetter suffered the loss in eight innings. He gave up five hits and no walks while striking out six.

Notre Dame (15-2) scored its first run in the fourth as O'Rourke singled and later scored on a right-field poke by Scott Reinagel.

Oran scored its only run on a wild pitch that bounced off the plate and over the backstop.

"That's one of the better 1A teams in the state," Notre Dame coach Chris Neff said. "I can't imagine any other 1A team in the state fielding and pitching that well.

Steele was the only Notre Dame player with more than one hit.

Notre Dame was originally scheduled to play at Perryville, but its field was too wet to play. When Perryville declined to play at Notre Dame, arrangements were made for Notre Dame to host Oran.
