Baseball
Tippecanoe Valley’s baseball team saw a late-inning rally fall just short yet again in an 11-10 loss to Pioneer Thursday night.

Trailing 10-6 in game that saw a combined 18 hits and nine errors by the two teams, the Vikings plated four runs over the sixth and seventh innings to knot it up at 10-all in Royal Center before Pioneer plated a walk-off in the bottom of the seventh.

Tanner Trippiedi homered and doubled and drew a pair of walks on his way to four runs scored, two RBIs and two stolen bases, but he was saddled with the tough-luck loss taking the mound in the seventh. Tucker Shull also homered on his way to two RBIs, and Lucas Walters and Ethan Yates both doubled for Valley. Drew Hartman recorded a pair of hits, two stolen bases and three RBIs in the loss.
