Hiland High School's baseball team this season includes Art Miller, Jim Boyd and Carl Swartzentruber.
GNADENHUTTEN - The Hiland Hawks shutout the Tuscarawas Broncos (4-2) in the Tuscarawas Sectional Baseball Tournament behind the one-hit pitching of Art Miller. Art made a shabbles of a fine Tuscarawas hitting machine as he went the distance for the Hawks with some sharp pitching and the help of some fine fielding by his teammates. The Hiland infield was excellent throughout the contest, robbing the Broncos of usual base hits with fine coverage and throwing. Miller ended the day with 10 strikeouts, 5 walkds and only one hit against him...a double (1) by Phil Johnson in the third. The 5th inning proved to be the key to the Hawk win, as they came up with 6 big runs to add to a 3-0 lead. John Kandel started the inning by reaching on a fielding error by Bronco shortstop Jim McCauley. Bronco pitcher Tim Reed (0-0), who had replaced starter Dave Paisley (4-2) in the 4th, then gave up 4 straight walks...to Merle Hershberger, Art Miller, Randy Starner and Rich Clark...to allow 2 runs to score. Ray McWilliams (0-0) took over Bronco pitching chores at that point, rendering a single to John Hochstetler, which drove in Art Miller. McWilliams finally retired the 1st batter of the inning, whiffing Ron Stutzman, before Joe Wengard drove in Starner with a sacrifice bunt. Paul Swartzentruber then provided the big blow of the inning with a double to permit Clark and Hochstetler to cross home plate. He was caught stealing 2nd prior to brother Galen being a strike out victim which ended the inning. Earlier Hawk runs came in the 1st and 4th innings. In the initial inning, Jim Boyd's single with the bases loaded drove in Art Miller and Starner to give the winners an early lead. The other run was scored when Wengard poked a triple to drive in Hochstetler.
Paisley was tagged with the defeat, working 3.7 innings during which he struck out one, walked one and issued 5 hits. Reed, who toiled for 1.3 innings, had control trouble, walking 4, striking out no one and giving up one hit. McWilliams struck out 5 walked one and gave up 4 hits. Art Miller aided his own cause, banging out 3 singles. Wengard belted a triple and single.
