Xenia vs. Northmont Sunday at Fifth Third Field
The Northmont Thunderbolts will take on the Xenia Buccaneers at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 8, to make up a game that was postponed due to rain on Friday, April 22.
Northmont is led by two strong pitchers who will continue their careers at the collegiate level next season. Grant Walker, the top pitcher on coach Chuck Harlow's squad will play for the University of Cincinnati next season under head coach Brian Cleary.
Righty Robert Sakosky is also an asset on the mount for the Thunderbolts. He's headed off to play for Ohio State next season.
A third player to keep an eye on in a Northmont uniform is sophomore Tommy Stoffel. He is the only freshman to have ever played varsity for Harlow in 32 seasons, and hit over .400 as a freshman.
The Buccaneers look to continue their success under head coach Rick Lorenzo.
The Dayton Dragons have been hosting the Miami Valley's best baseball teams since 2006, and are proud to continue the tradition for a sixth year. A compete list of high school baseball games scheduled to be played at Fifth Third Field can be found at daytondragons.com.
