CMS 8th Grade Baseball Rolls Past Rushville in 26-0 Win The Connersville Middle School 8th grade baseball team delivered a dominant performance Wednesday night, defeating Rushville 26-0 in a four-inning contest. The Spartans’ offense was relentless from the first pitch, piling up 15 hits and driving in 24 runs in the victory.

Brody Baker added three hits and drove in 4 runs, while Caesar Orr and Koleson Gable each collected two hits and 3 RBIs. Also contributing hits at the plate were Damien Owens with 3 RBIs, Braylon Davis with 3 RBIs, Alexander Streuwing with an RBI, and Raylan Runyon.
