Westside's Jory Goldstrom is tagged at the plate by Prep pitcher Ryan Briggs while attempting to score from third in the Championship Game of the Don Kraft Invitational yesterday.  After a third strike got past catcher Kevin Dytrych in the bottom of the first inning, he retrieved the ball and threw down to first to record the second out of the inning.  Goldstrom broke for home on the throw to first, and first baseman Charlie Krueger sent the ball back home to Briggs to nail Goldstrom on a close play at the plate to end the inning.

Papio South's Stephen Bougher threw a no-hitter in the Bellevue West Tournament Championship against Elkhorn, his fourth consecutive shutout.

The Titans' junior shortstop Beau Suponchick reads the hop and makes the play on a ground ball.

Elkhorn senior shortstop Andrew Simpson makes a nice backhand stop on a ground ball. 

Junior third baseman Jake Henne handles a hop. 

Junior second baseman Weston Foxx settles in under a pop up and makes the catch.

Senior catcher Brian Donohoe drives a two-run double into the gap.
