The West Branch Baseball team started their 2022 season with an amazing opening day performance by senior Zack Tiracorda. Zack threw his first career no hitter in 6 innings against Glendale on 3/25/22. He struck out 15 batters and gave up only 3 walks in the complete game shutout. Freshman Lukas Colton also had a game to remember, as he hit his first varsity home run to help push the Warriors past the Vikings 10-0.
The Warriors were then scheduled to play the Trojans of Mount Union at home on 3/29/22, but due to weather complications, the team struggled and were dealt a tough loss. The Warriors tallied only 3 total hits while plating nobody in the 0-11 loss.
The baseball team bounced back strong from the loss by shutting out visiting Cambria Heights 7-0 on 4/1/22. Zack Tiracorda had yet another great outing striking out 11 and only giving up 3 hits. Zack also tallied two triples, one of which almost made it out of the park hitting the top of the fence, and a double while plating 2 RBIs. Senior Owen Graham helped the Warriors by going 3-4 with a double, 2 RBIs, and 2 stolen bases in the victory.
The Warrior Baseball team starts their season off 2-1 overall, 1-1 in the ICC, and 1-0 in the Mo Valley League.
