North/South All-Star baseball split wins; play continues today

Five Hamilton County baseball players are participating in the Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association’s 2022 North-South All-Star game, which is taking place this weekend at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion.

Three players were on the North team: Hamilton Heights’ Drew VanOeveren and two from Westfield, Gage Stanifer and Keaton Mahan. The Huskies’ head coach Ryan VanOeveren was one of the North team’s assistant coaches. Meanwhile, Fishers’ Tate Warner and University’s Grayson Knight played on the South team.

The North team won the first of Saturday’s two games 10-6. Mahan was the hero, as he hit a grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. The South team won the second game 16-8. The two teams will play each other again this afternoon.
