Caston sophomore Parker Zimpleman delivered a performance for the ages Monday night, launching two home runs and driving in a staggering nine RBIs to power the Comets to a 19-7 victory over West Central in Fulton. Zimpleman was a one-man wrecking crew, finishing 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored, directly accounting for 12 of his team's runs in a true showcase of offensive firepower.

The Comets (1-1) showed impressive resilience, bouncing back emphatically from a tough 6-5 extra-inning loss to Rochester just days earlier. Zimpleman wasn't alone in the hit parade; Tucker Woolever also went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI, while Brodie Howard added a triple and a single. On the mound, Howard earned the win with three solid innings of work, and Zimpleman capped his incredible day with a scoreless inning of relief.

Elsewhere in high school baseball, Logansport kicked off its season with a statement win on the road at Lafayette Jeff. Pitcher Joshua Middleton set the tone, delivering six strong innings to secure the victory in a game moved up due to weather. The Berries' offense was led by Blake Pearson, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs, providing more than enough support for the pitching staff.

On the softball diamond, Winamac junior Brooke Rausch was utterly dominant, pitching a five-inning no-hitter in a win at Argos. Rausch was in complete control, walking just one batter while striking out ten. Her teammates provided ample run support, with Brody Goodman, Maggie Keller, and Corinne Ulerick each collecting three hits in the victory. The Warriors are off to a perfect 2-0 start, looking like a force to be reckoned with this season.
