High school roundup: Leopold baseball team reaches district semifinals

Dillan Vandeven limited seventh-seeded Lesterville to three hits and had a two-run triple to lead No. 2 Leopold to a 10-0, six-inning win in the opening round of the Class 1 District 3 Tournament at South Iron High School in Annapolis, Missouri.

Vandeven struck out seven and walked two in pitching a complete game.

The Wildcats provided him with the only run he would need in the first inning when Austin Bucher led off a triple and scored on a passed ball.

Leopold added a run in the third, three in the fourth and five in the sixth. Vandeven tripled in the sixth, and Bucher later followed with a one-out RBI single to enact the run rule.

Bucher finished with three hits, including a double. Casey Graham also had a double for the Wildcats, who improved to 6-10 with the victory.

The Bearcats ended their season with a record of 4-14.

Leopold will face third-seeded Valley (Caledonia) in a semifinal contest at 3 p.m. today. The Vikings defeated sixth-seeded Viburnum 3-2 in another quarterfinal later in the day to advance.
