Age-related eye disease affects 38 million
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS According
to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC),
close to 38 million Americans
(one in eight) have common
eye diseases such as glaucoma,
diabetic retinopathy, age-relat-
ed macular degeneration and
cataracts. By the year 2030, the
number is expected to increase
to 56 million. Statistics show
that by age 65, one in three
seniors have some form of
vision-impairing eye disease.
Vision loss is an important
health concern because it is
associated with falls, depres-
sion, social isolation and over-
all poorer health. Among those
65 years and older, 54.2 per-
cent of those who are blind
and 41.7 percent of those with
impaired vision say their over-
all health is fair or poor.
Pyjka Eye Center
Ophthalmologists Doctor
Brian Chinavare said that after
the age of 40, especially if
there is history of eye disease
in the family, adults need year-
ly screening exams by an eye
care professional. The earlier
these diseases are diagnosed
and treated, the greater the suc-
cess with countering their pro-
gression. In addition, the better
a persons overall health is, the
healthier their eyes will be.
We check for all four of
the most common eye dis-
easesmacular degeneration,
glaucoma, cataracts and dia-
betic retinopathywhich are
sneaky, insidious diseases,
Chinavare explained.
Macular Degeneration
(MD) is the most common
and worst eye-related debilitat-
ing disease affecting the older
adult population. The inher-
ited disease diminishes sight
by affecting the central vision.
Normally, people with the dis-
ease do not go blind because of
it, but find it difficult to read,
drive and perform other daily
functions.
Eyes are like a camera
with two lenses, Chinavare
detailed. The retina absorbs
light which becomes a signal
that travels to the brain via the
optic nerve.
With MD, the macula (light-
sensitive tissue at the back of
the eye) become damaged and
vision decreases since the con-
version of light, or an image,
can not fully be transmitted
into electrical impulses and
then sent to the brain.
People with the disease can
be treated with laser surgery,
Anti-angiogenesis drugs, which
normalize the blood vessels,
and low-vision devices.
Age is the biggest risk fac-
tor for developing MD. After
age 75, up to 46 percent of
people may have some form
of it. Caucasians also have a
higher risk for the disease.
The second leading age-
related eye disease is glauco-
ma. The CDC describes the
two major categories as open
angle and closed angle
glaucoma. Open angle, is a
chronic condition that prog-
ress slowly over long period of
time without the person notic-
ing vision loss until the disease
is very advanced, that is why it
is called sneak thief of sight.
Closed angle can appear sud-
denly and is painful. Visual
loss can progress quickly;
however, the pain and discom-
fort usually leads patients to
seek medical attention before
permanent damage occurs.
Chinavare said that glau-
coma usually affects people in
their 50s and 60s.
Eye pressure is like a car
tire, Chinavare explained.
Higher pressure increases the
blood flow damaging the optic
nerve.
Symptoms include blurred
vision, loss of peripheral
vision, halo effects around
lights and painful or red-
dened eyes. People at high
risk include those over the age
of 40, diabetic, near-sighted,
African-American or those
who have a family history of
glaucoma.

McCoy, NWS confirms tornado in Willshire
BY LINDSAY MCCOY
DHI Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
VAN WERT - The National Weather Service confirmed that
a tornado struck the village of Willshire during Wednesday
nights storms. Local Emergency Management Director Rick
McCoy, Wilmington meteorologists and the Ohio National
Weather Service office were on site in Willshire Thursday to
survey the path of the tornado and have rated the twister an EF-0
with winds between 80-85 mph.
Overall, we were very lucky as the damaging winds had a
tough time making it to the ground at all, and a number of fun-
nels were sighted but did not touch down, remarked McCoy.
Unfortunately, it was Willshire that actually had a tornado that
did reach the ground, and it was even more unfortunate for the
residents along Green Street who ironically had all of the same
homes damaged by a tornado that followed the same path in
1992.
The Willshire tornado developed within a convective squall-
line of storms in Indiana that proceeded to move across Adams
County and into the southern part of Van Wert County. At the
time of impact, residents had already been made aware of the
oncoming storm as the National Weather Service had issued a
tornado warning for Van Wert County as their radar had indicat-
ed strong rotation and a possible developing tornado near Berne.
Sirens had been sounded in Willshire, as well as all other regions
across the county, for the possibility of an approaching twister.
According to the National Weather Service, the tornado made con-
tact around 11:27 p.m. giving Willshire a 10-minute warning from
the time sirens were activated prior to the village being struck.
This home on Green Street shows some of the damage an EF0 tornado did during Wednesday nights storm. The path
of the tornado was the same as one recorded in 1992. (Times Bulletin/Kirk Dougal) See STORM, page 3

Report destroyed
buildings for tax savings
Information submitted
Robert L. Benroth, Putnam County Auditor, advises real estate
owners and manufactured home owners of tax relief that is available
for property which has been destroyed or damaged, regardless of the
cause of damage. Ohio law authorizes property owners to apply to the
county auditor for a reduction in the taxable value of their property that
has been destroyed or damaged.
The amount of the reduction is prorated based on the calendar
quarter in which the damage occurred. A notarized application for a
deduction in the current years value for real property must be filed by
Dec. 31 for damage in the first nine months of the year. For property
damaged in the last three months of the year, the filing deadline is Jan.
31 of the following year. Manufactured home filing deadline is Jan. 31
of the following year.
The Auditors Office staff will help complete the necessary appli-
cation during normal hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday. The form, Destroyed or Damaged Property (DTE 26), is always
available on the Putnam County Auditors website at www.co.putnam.

Ohios auditor says the state can
cut down on Medicaid fraud by
verifying that home health care
workers are where they say they
are.
Auditor Dave Yosts office
released the recommendation
Thursday after a performance
audit of the state Department of
Job and Family Services.
The report says telephone
monitoring of home service pro-
viders can help reduce fraudulent
Medicaid billings and save the
state almost $20 million annually.
Workers could be required to call
from a clients home phone, or
use a cell phone with GPS track-
ing to mark their locations.
Yosts office says such moni-
toring has helped to deter double
billing or billing for services
never provided.

Report destroyed
buildings for tax savings
Information submitted
Robert L. Benroth, Putnam County Auditor, advises real estate
owners and manufactured home owners of tax relief that is available
for property which has been destroyed or damaged, regardless of the
cause of damage. Ohio law authorizes property owners to apply to the
county auditor for a reduction in the taxable value of their property that
has been destroyed or damaged.
The amount of the reduction is prorated based on the calendar
quarter in which the damage occurred. A notarized application for a
deduction in the current years value for real property must be filed by
Dec. 31 for damage in the first nine months of the year. For property
damaged in the last three months of the year, the filing deadline is Jan.
31 of the following year. Manufactured home filing deadline is Jan. 31
of the following year.
The Auditors Office staff will help complete the necessary appli-
cation during normal hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday. The form, Destroyed or Damaged Property (DTE 26), is always
available on the Putnam County Auditors website at www.co.putnam.

COLUMBUS (AP) A
legislative panel has pushed
back its first meeting over dif-
ferences between the House
and Senate versions of the state
budget.
The six-member, bipar-
tisan conference committee
had planned to meet Thursday
afternoon to hear updated state
revenue and Medicaid casel-
oad projections.
The office of House Finance
Chairman Ron Amstutzs now
says the meeting has been
rescheduled for Tuesday.
Lawmakers face a June 30
deadline to pass the $61.7 bil-
lion, two-year state budget. A
new fiscal year begins July 1.
The two chambers have
separate tax plans and school
funding formulas that must be
reconciled.
Lawmakers have dropped
the governors proposal to
expand the Medicaid program
from the budget.
Compromise talks
on Ohio budget
set for Tuesday
COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohios auditor says the state can
cut down on Medicaid fraud by
verifying that home health care
workers are where they say they
are.
Auditor Dave Yosts office
released the recommendation
Thursday after a performance
audit of the state Department of
Job and Family Services.
The report says telephone
monitoring of home service pro-
viders can help reduce fraudulent
Medicaid billings and save the
state almost $20 million annually.
Workers could be required to call
from a clients home phone, or
use a cell phone with GPS track-
ing to mark their locations.
Yosts office says such moni-
toring has helped to deter double
billing or billing for services
never provided.
Changes suggest-
ed to reduce Ohio
Medicaid fraud

be set in August in compli-
ance with the U.S. Fish and

The resulting damage survey indicated
that the tornado touched down at the Ohio/
Indiana State Line at State Route 81 and
was moving slightly southeast. A number
of trees were damaged along its path at the
Willshire village limits.
It appeared that the funnel was mov-
ing up and down until it reached Williams
Street when a resident watched it come
down again and snap off the tops of his
trees and then head down Green Street,
noted McCoy. In a two block area, 13
homes sustained damage including heavy
roof damage, shingles and siding ripped off
and windows busted out.
The home located at 205 Green Street
also had a garage rolled off of its founda-
tion. One car was crushed when a tree
fell on it at 611 State Route 49. McCoy
estimates that the losses from the storm will
total several hundred thousand dollars.
This storm system had been predicted
three days prior to the event, and it was
clear to weather professionals a severe
weather outbreak was going to occur. The
main question remaining at the time was
how many rounds of storms would move
into the Van Wert area, the timing of these
storms, and whether storms would be wind
or tornado producers. Many media outlets
were mentioning a possible derecho sys-
tem similar to the June 29 wind storm that
caused detrimental damage throughout the
county last year.
I was more concerned with the tornado
threat and isolated bow-echo wind produc-
ing storms than for a derecho event, said
McCoy. Even though the atmosphere was
perfect for the explosive rapid storm devel-
opment, the available energy was only half
of what it was in 2012 when it produced
the widespread derecho damage last year.
A variety of events including childrens
sports games and practice were cancelled
due to the oncoming storm. Fortunately,
the first round of storms expected around 7
p.m. remained north of the Van Wert area. It
wasnt until about 10:30 p.m. that the entire
storm complex began moving southeast
towards Van Wert.
Around 11 p.m., spotters throughout
the county were out in the dark of night
at the time that sirens were activated. As
storms moved out of the area, funnels
were observed east of Wren and Willsire,
the west side of Ohio City, over Convoy,
and Middle Point. A funnel was also spot-
ted over Industrial Drive in the city of
Van Wert after the tornado warning had
expired which prompted McCoy to con-
tinue sounding the local sirens.

Once diagnosed, glaucoma
can be controlled with treat-
mentsprescription eye drops
and medications, laser therapy
and surgeryto lower pressure
in the eye. It is estimated that
2.2 million people are currently
affected by glaucoma and by the
year 2020, it is projected that 3.3
million will be impacted by the
disease.
Cataracts are caused by a
chemical change of unknown
origin in the eye, and cause
blurred or distorted vision. They
cannot be prevented from form-
ing, but early detection through
regular eye exams can help
maintain the clearest vision pos-
sible.
A cataract is a cloudy or
yellow discoloration of the nor-
mally clear fluid between the
eye lens and pupil of the eye,
Chinavere said. Treatment
includes vacuuming out the
cloudy fluid and replacing it
with a life-long lens replace-
ment implant (intraocular lens or
IOL). This is the most common
surgery done in America.
Risk factors for developing
cataracts include being over 55
years old, eye injury or disease, a
family history of cataracts, smok-
ing or use of certain medications.
There is no pain associ-
ated with the condition, but
symptoms include; blurred/
hazy vision; spots in front of
the eye(s); sensitivity to glare; a
feeling of film over the eye(s);
and a temporary improvement in
near vision. In addition, women
are at slightly higher risk than
men for cataracts. Currently,
20.5 million people have been
diagnosed with cataracts and in
2030, it is estimated that 30.1
million will be affected by cata-
racts.
Diabetic Retinopathy is a
complication of diabetes that
weakens the blood vessels that
nourish the retina in the back of
the eye.
It damages the veins and
arteries causing shrinking of the
blood supply, Chinavere stated.
Its less aggressive and when
caught in its early stages and
there is a much better outcome.
Vision can be lost if these
weak vessels leak, swell or
develop thin branches. As they
try to heal, the blood vessels can
contract and detach the retina.
Symptoms include shadows
or dark objects that float across
your field of vision, blurred or
distorted vision, partial loss of
vision and pain in the eye.
Laser treatment can be very
effective at preventing vision
loss if it is done before the ret-
ina has been severely damaged.
People with diabetes are most
susceptible to developing the
disease, but the risk is reduced
when a patient follows a pre-
scribed diet and medications,
exercises regularly, controls
blood pressure and avoids alco-
hol and cigarettes.
The number of people who
experience diabetic retinopathy
is expected to exceed 16 million
people by the year 2050.

TERRY MATTINGLY
On
Religion
There was a time when the faithful in the
heavily Dutch corners of the Midwest would
not have been able to sing along if the organ-
ist played the gospel classic Precious Lord,
Take My Hand.
True, some may have recognized the
hymn that Mahalia Jackson sang at the 1968
funeral of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,
since this was the civil rights leaders favor-
ite: Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me
on, let me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am
worn. Through the storm, through the night,
lead me on to the light. Take my hand, pre-
cious Lord, lead me home.
But by 1987, this beloved African-
American spiritual had been added to the
Christian Reformed Church hymnal. A gen-
eration later, it has achieved the kind of stat-
ure that puts it in the core of the In Death
and Dying pages of the churchs new Lift
Up Your Hearts hymnal.
When youre creating a new hymnal,
you know that you have to retain all those
heart songs that just cant go away, said the
Rev. Joyce Borger, editor of the 1,104-page
volume, produced in collaboration with the
Reformed Church in America. Were talk-
ing about the hymns that you cannot imagine
living without, and Precious Lord, Take My
Hand certainly falls into that category now.
It has become one of our songs.
Research indicates the average church
may have a repertoire of 150-plus hymns --
not counting Christmas carols and seasonal
songs -- that worship leaders can list in the
Sunday bulletin and know that most people
will sing them with confidence.
The challenge facing teams that create
hymnals is that core songs will vary radi-
cally from flock to flock, depending on where
they are located, the dominant age groups in
the pews and the cultural backgrounds of the
worship leaders. The favorite-hymn list of a
World War II generation pianist from rural
Michigan will overlap some, but not much,
with that of a Generation X guitarist in urban
Detroit.
Also, while its impossible to ignore
classics from the Dutch Reformed tradi-
tion, Borger said Lift Up Your Hearts also
needed to acknowledge the growing diversity
found in todays churches, in North America
and worldwide. In the age of increased
contact between believers around the world
-- not to mention YouTube -- its common
for suburban American teens to return from
church trips to Africa or South America with
notebooks full of new hymns they now cher-
ish.
Then there is the surging popularity of
pop-rock praise choruses, which rise and
fall in popularity from year to year, if not
month to month. Also, the larger the mod-
ern church sanctuary, the more likely it is
to feature video screens on which lyrics are
constantly streamed into view. Why would
digital worshippers want to tie up their hands
with analog hymnals?
The pace of musical change is one reason
hymnals are being now being recreated every
generation, as opposed to remaining intact
for a half a century or so as in the past, said
historian John Witvliet, another member of
the Lift Up Your Hearts team who leads
the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship at
Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Recent decades have seen a number of
other factors that have caused musical earth-
quakes, he said, including a multimedia revo-
lution in worship facilities, the global surge
of Pentecostalism, the rise of megachurch
congregations driven by seeker friendly
services that value relevance over tradition
and increased ecumenical contacts between
Catholic, evangelical and liberal Protestant
churches.
Thus, the 965 numbered selections in
this new hymnal include 137 selections from
its 1957 counterpart and 302 from a 1987
volume. However, it also includes at least
100 contemporary praise choruses and
50-plus hymns from around the world, with
texts translated from 30 different languages.
Every hymn in the book is annotated with
guitar chords.
There is no period of time in church his-
tory -- ever -- in which there have been this
many waves of change shaping Christian
worship at the same time, said Witvliet. A
generation ago, we assumed that the hymnal
in the pew WAS a churchs musical reper-
toire. No one assumes that now.
But no matter how rapid the changes,
he added, hymnals are symbols that the
church needs a common body of music to
help keep it united. There must be some ties
that bind.

Washington Journalism Center at the Council

TERRY MATTINGLY
On
Religion
There was a time when the faithful in the
heavily Dutch corners of the Midwest would
not have been able to sing along if the organ-
ist played the gospel classic Precious Lord,
Take My Hand.
True, some may have recognized the
hymn that Mahalia Jackson sang at the 1968
funeral of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,
since this was the civil rights leaders favor-
ite: Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me
on, let me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am
worn. Through the storm, through the night,
lead me on to the light. Take my hand, pre-
cious Lord, lead me home.
But by 1987, this beloved African-
American spiritual had been added to the
Christian Reformed Church hymnal. A gen-
eration later, it has achieved the kind of stat-
ure that puts it in the core of the In Death
and Dying pages of the churchs new Lift
Up Your Hearts hymnal.
When youre creating a new hymnal,
you know that you have to retain all those
heart songs that just cant go away, said the
Rev. Joyce Borger, editor of the 1,104-page
volume, produced in collaboration with the
Reformed Church in America. Were talk-
ing about the hymns that you cannot imagine
living without, and Precious Lord, Take My
Hand certainly falls into that category now.
It has become one of our songs.
Research indicates the average church
may have a repertoire of 150-plus hymns --
not counting Christmas carols and seasonal
songs -- that worship leaders can list in the
Sunday bulletin and know that most people
will sing them with confidence.
The challenge facing teams that create
hymnals is that core songs will vary radi-
cally from flock to flock, depending on where
they are located, the dominant age groups in
the pews and the cultural backgrounds of the
worship leaders. The favorite-hymn list of a
World War II generation pianist from rural
Michigan will overlap some, but not much,
with that of a Generation X guitarist in urban
Detroit.
Also, while its impossible to ignore
classics from the Dutch Reformed tradi-
tion, Borger said Lift Up Your Hearts also
needed to acknowledge the growing diversity
found in todays churches, in North America
and worldwide. In the age of increased
contact between believers around the world
-- not to mention YouTube -- its common
for suburban American teens to return from
church trips to Africa or South America with
notebooks full of new hymns they now cher-
ish.
Then there is the surging popularity of
pop-rock praise choruses, which rise and
fall in popularity from year to year, if not
month to month. Also, the larger the mod-
ern church sanctuary, the more likely it is
to feature video screens on which lyrics are
constantly streamed into view. Why would
digital worshippers want to tie up their hands
with analog hymnals?
The pace of musical change is one reason
hymnals are being now being recreated every
generation, as opposed to remaining intact
for a half a century or so as in the past, said
historian John Witvliet, another member of
the Lift Up Your Hearts team who leads
the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship at
Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Recent decades have seen a number of
other factors that have caused musical earth-
quakes, he said, including a multimedia revo-
lution in worship facilities, the global surge
of Pentecostalism, the rise of megachurch
congregations driven by seeker friendly
services that value relevance over tradition
and increased ecumenical contacts between
Catholic, evangelical and liberal Protestant
churches.
Thus, the 965 numbered selections in
this new hymnal include 137 selections from
its 1957 counterpart and 302 from a 1987
volume. However, it also includes at least
100 contemporary praise choruses and
50-plus hymns from around the world, with
texts translated from 30 different languages.
Every hymn in the book is annotated with
guitar chords.
There is no period of time in church his-
tory -- ever -- in which there have been this
many waves of change shaping Christian
worship at the same time, said Witvliet. A
generation ago, we assumed that the hymnal
in the pew WAS a churchs musical reper-
toire. No one assumes that now.
But no matter how rapid the changes,
he added, hymnals are symbols that the
church needs a common body of music to
help keep it united. There must be some ties
that bind.

OHSAA Board of Directors
approves football breakdown
Lima Junior Golf Results
Information submitted
COLUMBUS The Ohio High
School Athletic Association Board of
Directors met Thursday morning in
Columbus for its regularly-scheduled
June meeting, which marks the final
board meeting of the 2012-13 school
year. The following are highlights from
the meeting. The complete set of meeting
minutes will be posted later at OHSAA.
org.
- The board approved the football
divisional breakdowns and regional
assignments for 2013 and 2014. The lists
of schools in each of the seven divisions,
along with the regional maps, are posted
on the football page at OHSAA.org:
http://www.ohsaa.org/sports/ft/boys/
default.asp
- The board approved a proposal
from the OHSAA staff for the 2013
football playoff schedule format. This
fall, Divisions II, III, IV and VI will play
their regional and state semifinal games
on Friday nights at 7:30 p.m., while
Divisions I, V and VII will play their
regional and state semifinal games on
Saturday nights at 7 p.m. The order and
game times for the state championship
games will be announced after the state
semifinal games, which will include a
determination as to which division (II,
III, IV or VI) will play its state champi-
onship game on Thursday night, Dec. 5.
- The board approved a proposal from
the OHSAA staff that beginning in 2014,
the start date for football practice will
always be Aug. 1 (unless Aug. 1 is a
Sunday, in which case football practice
will start Aug. 2). This makes football
consistent with the OHSAAs other fall
sports, which already begin practice Aug.
1 (unless that is a Sunday). Of note, this
fall football practice begins Aug. 5 except
for those schools that begin classes Aug.
16 or earlier, in which case football prac-
tice may begin Aug. 1 for those schools.
- Four schools were recently penalized
for committing infractions of OHSAA
bylaws or sports regulations. The list of
schools, along with their infractions and
penalties, is always included in the meet-
ing minutes posted at OHSAA.org.
- The board approved an OHSAA staff
request to propose a rules experiment to
the National Federation of State High
School Associations (NFHS) regarding
the wearing of jewelry in swimming and
diving. The rules experiment, which will
be conducted over the next three years if
approved by the NFHS, will allow swim-
mers and divers to wear jewelry without
being disqualified.
- Except gymnastics, the 2013 winter
sports financial reports were presented
to the board. The new team wrestling
regional and state tournament operated
at an overall loss of $96,166. Attendance
at the 1-day state tournament was 1,750.
The boys basketball state tournament
attendance increased by 2,513 tickets
(total attendance of 115,343) and resulted
in a net profit of $871,858. The girls
basketball state tournament attendance
increased by 2,537 tickets (total atten-
dance of 35,953) and resulted in a net
profit of $15,204. The bowling state tour-
nament had a total attendance of 1,607
and resulted in a net profit of $99. The
ice hockey state tournament had a total
attendance of 4,466 and operated at a net
loss of $4,798. The swimming and diving
state tournament had a total attendance
of 8,354 and operated at a loss of $8,979.
The individual wrestling state tourna-
ment had a total attendance of 49,256
(down 1,187 from 2012) and resulted
in a net profit of $191,143. Of note, the
OHSAA receives no tax dollars and does
not charge annual membership dues or
tournament entry fees. Eighty-percent of
the OHSAAs operating budget comes
from gate receipts at regional and state
tournaments.
- The board denied a proposal from the
basketball coaches association that would
require schools to do a film exchange at
the regional and state tournament level.
- The OHSAA welcomes one new
member school for the 2013-14 academic
year with Columbus Patriot Preparatory
Academy. Of note, Bedford St. Peter
Chanel and Marion Catholic are no lon-
ger member schools, while Berea and
Midpark have consolidated into one
school.
As well, Cleveland native Harrison
Dillard will be inducted into the National
Federation of State High School
Associations (NFHS) Hall of Fame June
27 during the NFHS Summer Meeting in
Denver. A press conference is scheduled
in Denver 3:30 p.m. June 26. Dillard
helped lead Cleveland East Technical
High School to three state track champi-
onships. He is the only man to ever win
gold medals in both the sprints and high
hurdles and won four gold medals overall
at the 1948 and 1952 Olympic Games.
Dillard, 89, was a 2011 inductee into the
OHSAA Circle of Champions.
Groves marks 51st run against Leipsic

COLUMBUS GROVE Fifty one.
That is the number of total runs the Columbus
Grove ACME baseball team has put up in its
three wins this summer season.
Fresh off of a 18-0 drubbing of Cory-
Rawson, the Bulldogs put up 10 in the first
inning Thursday night on their way to a 13-1
victory over Leipsic to even their record to 3-3
on the season.
Grove sent 13 batters to the plate in the bot-
tom of the first to begin the onslaught.
Riley Brubaker pitched a one hitter, while
going 3 for 4 at the plate with a pair of RBIs.
Mason Smith was a perfect 3 for 3 at the
plate and drove in three runs.
Marcos Olivo; hitting in the eight spot deliv-
ered with a pair of doubles as did the num-
ber nine hitter; Ryan Verhoff. Both Olivo and
Verhoff tallied a run batted in.
Five of the first six Bulldog batters reached
based before Josh Verhoff, Tanner Neu, Olivo
and Rayn Verhoff all converged for a back to
back to back to back doubles.
Brubaker had two hits in the inning including
an RBI, Smith duplicated that feat; plus one by
reaching base twice and driving in two runs all
in the opening inning.
The home team added three more in the third
when Olivo led off the inning with his second
double of the game, Ryan Verhoff followed with
a walk. Olivo scored on a base hit off the bat of
Brubaker to make it 11-0; Zach Brinkman hit
into a one out sacrifice to score Ryan Verhoff
and Smith knocked in the final run with a solid
base hit; giving the Bulldogs a 13-0 advantage.
The Vikings bats remained quiet until the
fourth when Justin Ellerbrock led off with the
first hit of the game, but was thrown out trying
to steal second.
The lone Leipsic run came in the fifth after a
lead off walk to Randy Larson after a throwing
error Larson moved to third and scored on a
ground out by Alex Ellerbrock.
Grove moves to 3-3; while the Vikings fall
to 2-4.
