Michael Burke passed away. This is the full obituary where you can share condolences and memories. Published in the Cumberland Times News on 2023-09-06.
GARRETT â While there was no snow on the ground, Thursdayâs windy conditions made it a tough day to be an outfielder.
A deep, wind-blown fly ball that ticked off a glove and fell in for an error helped decide the outcome as Garrett came from behind to beat Angola 5-4 in a Northeast Corner Conference baseball game at Garrett.
âTo their credit, they never gave up,â Railroader coach Jason Richards said of his team. âI rode them; we were a little complacent when we came out here, and I think we thought we were pretty good at 5-1.
âWe needed a wake-up call. Angolaâs a good team,â he said. âTheyâre going to fight with us every time. Big leaders stepped up at the end.â
AUBURN â Garrett scored most of its runs late, giving new head coach Jason Richards a win in his first game at the helm.
The Railroaders broke a 1-1 tie with three runs in the sixth and six more in the seventh to defeat Lakewood Park 10-1 at Auburn April 6.
For most of the game, Garrett senior Gage Smith and Lakewood Park freshman Corbin White were locked in a pitcherâs duel.
White pitched into the seventh when he was lifted after the first two Railroaders reached base on an error and a walk. He allowed eight hits, four coming in the sixth inning, five runs (only one earned), four strikeouts and three walks.
