Zach Brown faced Linn-Mar in the Bob Vrbicek Metro Baseball tournament in May and twirled a no-hitter.
The Lions faced Brown again Wednesday at Xavier hoping for a little pay back.
But it was not to be.
Brown gave up two runs on only three hits in six innings and beat Linn-Mar again to win Game 2 of a doubleheader, 3-2, and earn a split for the night. Linn-Mar won the opener, 8-2.
Kayla Armstrong added another honor to her growing list Tuesday.
Armstrong was named the Metro Player of the Year by the local coaches. She already has been named first team all-state, the Mississippi Valley Conference Valley Division Player of the Year, and captain of the Class 2A all-tournament team.
Armstrong was joined by Xavier teammates Sammi Shepard and Monica Busse on the all-Metro first team.
Iron-arm Xavier hurler Erin Drahozal racked up two more wins Tuesday night to match the pair she picked up the day before as the Saints swept a twinbill at home over Iowa City High, 3-2 and 11-3.
With back-up starter Jacey Wiebold nursing a tender arm, the rock-solid sophomore Drahozal is suddenly carrying the load on her strong shoulders.
She won three games in two days this past weekend, including one over Class 5A second-ranked Pleasant Valley.
It was Ken Charipar Memorial Night at Xavier for the Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader between Jefferson and the Saints Monday evening.
The event had special meaning for both baseball clubs.
One of Charipar’s grandsons, Corbin Woods, plays shortstop for Xavier. Another grandson, Kyle Rodenkirk, is the head coach for Jefferson.
In addition, a number of players from both teams played youth baseball for the late Ken Charipar and the results Monday at Ken Charipar Field were appropriate enough.
The J-Hawks and Saints split the twinbill. Jefferson won the first game, 10-3, and Xavier took the nightcap, 14-4, in six innings.
DUBUQUE - Xavier overpowered Dubuque Wahlert twice Monday, 9-2 and 11-2, in Mississippi Valley Conference softball.
Jenna Schulte belted a two-run home run in the opener and was 3-for-4 in the nightcap for Xavier (9-5, 6-4).
Erin Drahozal was the winning pitcher in both games. She also was 2-for-2 with an RBI in the opener.
