  • Urchins fall in game one of 2A state championship

    There’s no panic in the dugout for the Urchins. Despite a 12-1 setback to Taylorsville in the first game of the 2A state championship on Wednesday, East Union has confidence heading into Friday’s game two with both of its top pitchers rested and ready to go.

  • Urchins win north half championship

    Monday night was one of redemption for East Union, and in the end, destiny was fulfilled, and the Urchins are set to play for the 2A state championship in Pearl.

    For Alex Boland, redemption came on offense Monday night. Miscommunication hurt the senior catcher and pitcher Cody Bo Dillard during Sunday’s game two of the series. The result was Baldwyn bringing in the game-tying run, and later in the game, the Bearcats would take the 2-1 lead and hold on to win by that final.
