  • Schaefer, Marksmen stop Chargers

    PETERSBURG—Chris Schaefer pitched a four-hitter as Tell City defeated Pike Central 5-1 in PAC baseball Tuesday.
    Schaefer struck out nine and walked none, and his teammates committed only one error.
    “He threw a great game,” said Tell City Coach Jason Wilkerson. He was getting ahead (in the count) with his fastball, and he’s learned to throw his curveball in situations for strikes.
    “I’ve said it before: When we play a clean baseball game and our pitchers throw strikes, we’re a pretty good team.”
