HUDSON- The Cinderella-story of the 13-seed Explorers ended on Friday as they were topped by #1 Brecksville-Broadview Heights, 5-0.
The shutout loss was only the second for Hudson on the season -- the other being the first game of the season against mighty Strongsville.
Despite being on the hook for the loss, starter Eric Lukingbeal threw a nice game and kept the Bees within reach, giving up four runs in 4 2/3 innings of work. Zack Barley finished up the game on the mound, surrendering one run in 2 1/3 solid innings.
The Brecksville hurler Mancuso was effective at holding the Hudson bats in check. The Explorer offense scattered three hits over the game, two from 9-hole hitter Anthony Wallis.
The Explorers put a nice finish on a challenging season. The program bids adieu to lone senior James Stribrny, but will look forward to returning a roster full of seniors and juniors with significant varsity experience in 2010. A banquet date has not yet been announced.Labels: Varsity

HUDSON- The Varsity overcame a 7-3 deficit heading into the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat the Solon Comets, 8-7, in the District Semifinals.
Zac Edwards had a rough start to his outing, giving up three runs to the Comets in the first inning. Edwards did settle down in the middle of his outing, giving up just one run over three innings. He would cough up three more runs to Solon as he started to run out of gas in the fifth inning.
Tyler Merrill finished up the game with two scoreless innings and picked up the win.
The remarkable seventh inning was a product of the entire lineup. Feng, Wallis, Lentz, Woods, and Toth all reached base and scored, while Ramsay and Calabrese reached and were stranded as the game ended. Andrew Mercer successfully laid down a sacrifice bunt and Forrest Johnson drove in the game winning run (Toth) on a sacrifice fly to right field.
The Explorers advance to the District Championship on Friday at 4:30pm at The Ballpark and will face the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Bees.

TWINSBURG- Despite gray skies and intermittent rain, the Varsity (11-16) traveled north and beat the Twinsburg Tigers (19-5), 10-3, in the Sectional Finals.
Hudson jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but would surrender the lead in the bottom of the second when three Tigers made it around the bases.
The young Explorers showed their resilience as they responded with four runs of their own in the next half inning to go up, 5-3.
After the rough second inning, Eric Lukingbeal (2-2) settled down and cruised to the complete game victory. Lukingbeal did not surrender a walk in the game.
Despite the lead and the Twinsburg pitching carousel (five pitchers in seven innings), the Hudson offense was not finished. They added one run in the fifth and another four-spot in the sixth.
The Varsity advances to the District Semifinals next Thursday, May 21 at 7:00 pm against the Solon Comets. District games will be played at The Ballpark in Hudson.
