The 2021 seasons came to an end on Tuesday for our Crusader Baseball boys and Lady Crusader Softball girls, both in Regional 4A action, both in close contests.

The Crusaders lost a heartbreaker at Pratt. A game delayed by weather, the (3-17) Crusaders lead all the way against host (18-2) Pratt, jumping out early with 2 runs and held the lead until the last play of the game. Pratt was down 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning when Lunsford singled on a 3-1 count, scoring two runs. RJ Clift lead in hitting going 2/3 at the plate, Hartman, Haskins-Ybarra, Wright, Macias, Jones, Swingle, and Hinshaw also had hits, Wright's a double. A solid game for the Crusaders against a tough Pratt team. So close.

The (11-9) Lady Crusaders headed a different direction for their Regional action on Tuesday. WHS  took on (10-10) Rose Hill at Clay Center HS. No scoring through the first 3 innings, innings 4 and 5 proved decisive with the Lady Rockets outscoring WHS 4-1, a lead that the Lady Crusaders would not overcome. An additional run in the 7th, not enough to keep the season going. Coach Buck and the Lady Crusaders end 2021 with an (11-10) record.
