Health plan hinges on the young, but they’re a tough sell WASHINGTON (AP) — Julian Senn-Raemont isn’t convinced he needs to buy health insurance when he loses coverage under his dad’s plan in a couple of years — no matter what happens in the policy debate in Washington, or how cheap the plans are.

The 24-year-old musician hasn’t known a world without a health care safety net.

But he hates being forced by law to get coverage, and doesn’t think he needs it.

“I’m playing the odds,” said Senn-Raemont, who lives in Woodstock, Illinois. He will go without insurance, he said, until he starts a family or gets a job with benefits. “I feel comfortable I could get care if I needed it.”

Senn-Raemont’s outlook could pose a major problem for Republicans building a replacement for

the Affordable Care Act. Insurers need young and healthy enrollees like him to buy insurance because they keep premiums down for everyone. The current law attempts to do that by mandating that everyone get coverage. The Republican plan replaces that mandate with penalties for those who let coverage lapse, and aims to entice young adults by allowing insurance companies to sell bare-bones coverage that could be cheaper.

But cheap isn’t free, which turns off people like Senn-Raemont. And other young adults worry that opening the door to these bare-bones plans will make the more comprehensive coverage they know now too expensive or even unavailable.

In Houston, 29-yearold Jimmieka Mills pays

$15 a month for a government-subsidized “Obamacare” health plan.

She fears Congress will weaken the health law’s guarantees of free preventive care, so she made an appointment to get a birth control implant that will last for years.

“I’m scared,” Mills said.

“I’m like a bear getting ready for hibernation.

That’s how I feel.”

“I’M SCARED. I’m like a bear getting ready for hibernation. That’s how I feel.”

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has identified a hepatotoxin, called microcystin toxin, in Green Valley Lake near Creston in Union County. Microcystin toxin is released by bluegreen algae or cyanobacteria.

Cyanobacterial blooms can form in warm, slow-moving waters that are rich in nutrients such as fertilizer runoff or septic tank overflows. Blooms can occur at any time, but most often occur in late summer or early fall.

Both humans and animals can get microcystin poisoning from exposure to contaminated water. People can

get microcystin poisoning from being exposed to contaminated waters, either by intentionally or accidentally swallowing water, by having direct skin contact (as when swimming, wading or showering) or by breathing airborne droplets containing microcystins, such as during boating or waterskiing.

Sanders, in Iowa, reiterates criticism of GOP health bill DES MOINES (AP) — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders reiterated criticism of Republican efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act to a receptive crowd in Iowa on Saturday, calling a bill moving through the Senate “disastrous.”

Memorials may be made to the Mount Ayr FFA Chapter. Online condolences may be left at www. armstrongfh.com.

Paul Eugene McKinney, son of Faye (Allsop) and Percy C. McKinney, was born July 18, 1939, in rural Macksburg. He graduated from Macksburg High School in May 1958. After graduation, Paul went to work for Center Milk Company in Creston.

On June 14, 1959, Paul married Muriel E. Tuttle and they had three children, Robin, Misty and Troy. Paul and Muriel divorced in 1979.

In 1962, he started work at Creston Purolator for 14 years. In 1964, the McKinney family bought a farm near Diagonal, and he con-

Paul sold the farm before moving to Mount Ayr. In October 2010, Paul met Mary Williamson. At this time, he inherited son Brian Williamson (friend Stacey), daughter Brandi Williamson (significant other Sean) and granddaughter Paige Smith.

Paul and Mary began going to Pharr, Texas, in 2011.

BILL:

people attending the Family Leader’s annual Family Leadership Summit.

Trump focused on the Senate bill in his latest weekly address, claiming it would expand health care options and drive down costs.

The GOP-controlled Congress has failed to pass legislation through both chambers to repeal the law.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has delayed an August recess in part to try to pass a proposal. But Republicans have a slim majority in the Senate, and some moderates in his party have expressed reservations.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated an initial bill backed

by McConnell would lead to 22 million additional people uninsured if enacted. The office is expected to release its analysis of a revised bill early next week, including a provision supported by

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz that would allow the sale of bare bones health insurance policies. Major insurance groups have said the provision is “unworkable in any form.”

U.S. Sens. Charles Grassley and Joni Ernst also addressed the conservative audience in the morning, though neither b r o u g h t Ernst up health care. Sanders later asked the Iowa senators in his speech to reject the proposal.

“I beg of them,” he said.

“Please vote no on this legislation.”

Roughly 1,100 people gathered to hear Sanders address the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action Fund convention. He touched on issues that raised his political pro-

file and nearly gave him a win in the first-in-the-nation caucus state: income inequality, the high costs of a college education and the need for more civic engagement. He also pushed back on voter identification laws that he said suppress voting.

It’s unclear how much of Sanders’ progressive agenda will show up next year as Democrats seek to regain majority control of Congress in the 2018 midterm elections. A closely-watched special election in Georgia for a House seat didn’t produce a Democratic win despite the party spending millions in the race.

It’s also unclear whether Sanders, who lost the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton, will seek higher office again. The senator remains popular within his base, though Democrats may try to push for fresh faces. Sanders will be 76 in September.

ratio to 3-to-1, meaning a 50-year-old can be charged only three times as much as a 20-year-old. The Republican plan shifts that ratio to 5-to-1.

More flexible pricing could attract young adults, the Congressional Budget Office said in a review of a previous draft of the Senate plan. But other provisions, including cuts to Medicaid, would result in 22 million people losing insurance over the next decade. All ages and income levels would have higher uninsured rates. For low-income young adults, CBO said, the uninsured rate would double.

A CBO analysis of the new proposal is expected this week.

“On the whole, the bill is bad for young people,” said Jen Mishory, executive director of the youth advocacy group Young Invincibles. “It is particularly concerning for the most vulnerable young people, those who are low-income and folks with pre-existing conditions.”

Young Americans, ages 18-34, remain more likely to be uninsured than older age groups, but the rate of uninsured young Americans dropped under “Obamacare” to 16

percent from 29 percent.

Obama’s health law also gives them job flexibility because good health insurance was no longer tied to employment, said Republican labor economist Craig Garthwaite of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

“That gives young adults the opportunity to find a first job that’s right for their talents,” Garthwaite said.

Alexandra Flores, 29, works as a library assistant at University of South Florida in St. Petersburg while pursuing a master’s degree in library science.

She credits the Obama health law for her decision to go back to school rather than be locked into her previous office job. She pays $77 a month for her “Obamacare” health plan.

The government kicks in about $100.

“Without health care, I wouldn’t feel comfortable growing my career the way I have,” Flores said.

Republican proposals to ban federal funding of Planned Parenthood for a

year would affect 34-yearold Renee Wsol of Chicago. A Medicaid beneficiary, she received a free IUD for long-acting birth control from the organization this year. Planned Parenthood is now her regular source of women’s health care, including cancer screenings.

“I feel comfortable and safe at Planned Parenthood,” she said. “It makes no sense to pluck that care away from people who already have limited choices.”

Jackie Todd, 28, of Chicago, feels hemmed in by the health care debate because she would like to pursue a master’s in filmmaking, but doesn’t want to risk losing the insurance she has through her job. She has an implanted device for a heart rhythm problem, which will need to be replaced in two years, “and I cannot be uninsured when that happens.”

“The GOP doesn’t think I deserve a shot at an even playing field because being sick is somehow my fault,” she said.

Hours earlier inside the same building complex, senior White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told a conservative audience that repealing and replacing former President Barack O b a m a ’ s Conway 2 0 1 0 health care law was needed to stabilize the health care insurance market.

print.”

“You may end up with unexpected costs,” Corlette said. “And if, God forbid, you do end up needing better coverage, you will be blocked from that coverage for six months.”

To encourage continuous coverage, the GOP plan installs a six-month waiting period for anyone with a two-month gap in coverage. The skimpy policies wouldn’t qualify as continuous coverage.

The insurance industry also sharply questioned this approach. In a statement last week, the industry group America’s Health Insurance Plans said the proposal would create an “un-level playing field” that would lead to “unstable health insurance markets.”

Other features of the proposal aimed at young adults include allowing them to stay on their parents’ insurance until they turn 26, as they can now, and shifting costs to older enrollees.

Current law restricts how much insurers can charge for insurance based on age.

Adams County Sheriff

Amanda Dawn Kessler, 20, of Red Oak was charged with burglary, criminal mischief, trespassing and theft 5:30 a.m.

July 10 in Adams County.

According to an Adams County sheriff report, the sheriff’s office responded to a call about a truck parked in the middle of 260th Street near Nodaway. The property owner had cameras set up on the property, and had captured pictures of a male and female. The female was identified to be Kessler. The incident stemmed from a car chase and burglary earlier that same day.

Kessler was being held on $5,000 bond.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about recycling: “Dear Heloise: We all live on one planet with dwindling resources and a growing population. So why don’t more people recycle as much as they can? I would encourage folks who think it’s too much trouble to recycle to reconsider.

Got an empty can or glass bottle? Just a quick rinse under the tap and into a recycle bin or bag it goes. My husband and I don’t have kids yet, but we feel that we are merely custodians of the planet, not owners. Let’s all recycle our paper, plastic, glass and metal, and leave this world in better shape than we found it, for generations to come.” – Charlotte M., Green Bay, Wis. Charlotte, I couldn’t agree more! My staff and I recycle everything we can, both in the office and at home. – Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000

Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some other uses for cat litter: * Use to absorb fresh oil and grease on the driveway or garage floor. * Use under tires on icy streets. * Use to reduce odors and moisture in a basement. – Heloise HOPE RENEWED Dear Heloise: Girls no longer seem to receive hope chests upon graduation from high school in anticipation of getting married, so at an estate sale, I bought one. I took it home and lightly sanded the interior to bring out that cedar scent. After vacuuming and wiping the interior, I used it to store sweaters, parkas and other winter clothing and wool blankets. I may not be thinking about marriage right now, but I am thinking about moths not eating my favorite sweaters.

– Lucy R., Mansfield, Ohio SNAILS AND SLUGS Dear Heloise: I had a nas-

SUDOKU

ty problem with snails and slugs, but I used a trick my grandmother always used.

We kept eggshells in a bag in the refrigerator. When we had a fair amount of shells, we’d crush them and sprinkle the broken eggshells around our plants.

Snails and slugs won’t crawl over the sharp pieces. Hamster litter made from cedar usually had the same effect as eggshells. – Jean O., Florence, S.C. WHEN LESS IS MORE Dear Heloise: I clean houses for a living, and more often than not, I have to clean windows. Most people think using newspaper is the best way to get streak-free windows, but it’s not. It used to be, but the newspapers changed the ink formulation, and that made all the difference. Instead, use a soft cloth (microfiber is best) and a little vinegar (1/2 cup) in a gallon of water. Don’t use too much liquid, or you’ll get lots of streaks. Spray and wipe. – Lynn G., South Gate, Calif. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

“Each contestant is evaluated on their food preparation skills including food safety procedures, use of Iowa products and the final quality of the product.”

Senior entries include Hank Bohling, Skyler Rawlings, Riley Lonsdale, Alan Evans, Kyra Evans, Jill Wallace, Reba Lonsdale, and FFA member Shelby Brewer and her sister, Ellie, with a

team entry.

Competing in the intermediate division are Rose Lonsdale, Erin Ford, Storm Hoadley, Jennifer Holliday, Isabella Rubio, Zayden Rawlings, Gaige Schowochow, Shelbee Woosley and Riley McCall.

Junior competitors include Megan McCall, Jetta Doherty, Ashlyn Gutierrez, Emma Lundy, Kerigan Brown, Autumn Schwochow, Austin Shelley, Abby Engles and Brandon Raasch and Carter Goetz with a team entry.

Financial well-being courses offered A recent wellness program-focused survey done in June at Gibson Memorial Library found patrons’ No. 1 interest was information on financial well-being. This has spurred a collaboration between the library, Southern Prairie YMCA, Southwestern Community College adult education and Cornerstone Financial to offer a no-cost community service: a series scheduled for three consecutive Thursday evenings on topics with strong correlations to financial well-being.

The classes will be from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. July 20, July 27 and Aug. 3 in the multipurpose room at the SWCC adult education building.

Pre-registration can easily be made by visiting or calling either Gibson Memorial Library at 641782-2277, Southern Prairie YMCA at 641-782-9622 or SWCC Adult Education at 641-782-1441. Walk-ins are welcomed, but any handouts cannot be guaranteed.

This program is a timely topic as the wellness profes-

sion has rapidly expanded to include a more holistic view of the individual to include not only their physical health and nutritional health, but also the quality of their relationships at home, work and connectedness to their community. Continual pressure on family and individual budgets by cost of living increases including continuing health-care costs can be an ongoing stress. Stress is related to 85 to 90 percent of healthcare provider visits.

Financial stress is also the No. 1 reason for marital or couple discord and divorce, impacting not only the couple but any children or dependents. All of these correlations have speared this effort to provide this series to promote positive, productive family discussions and goal setting to promote financial well-being as well as improved overall well-being in the community. Teens can benefit by learning early about the importance of financial well-being while still in the family home, too.

National Digest

DeChambeau rallies to win John Deere Classic SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Third-round leader Patrick Rodgers knew that it would take a ton of birdies Sunday to win the John Deere Classic.

Bryson DeChambeau took that advice to heart.

DeChambeau overcame a four-stroke deficit to beat Rodgers by a stroke for his first PGA Tour title — and a spot next week in the British Open.

The 23-year-old DeChambeau birdied four of the final six holes at TPC Deere Run for a 6-under 65 and an 18-under 266 total. In 2015, the unconventional former SMU star became the fifth player to win the NCAA individual title and U.S. Amateur in the same year.

The win punctuated a comeback of sorts for DeChambeau, who capped a string of eight consecutive missed cuts last month in the U.S. Open — where he was 6 over for two rounds.

Quintana dazzles in Cubs debut BALTIMORE (AP) — Jose Quintana is well aware of the lofty expectations that came with his trade to the Chicago Cubs.

He certainly dazzled his new teammates in his debut.

Quintana struck out a season-high 12 in seven sharp innings and the Cubs beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-0 Sunday for a three-game sweep.

“It was my first outing with the Cubs, but after the first inning, I felt really good,” Quintana said. “I threw everything in the first inning and just focused on making quick outs.”

Acquired by the defending World Series champions during the All-Star break from the Chicago White Sox for a playoff push, Quintana gave the Cubs exactly the kind of boost they hoped to get.

rally lifts Creston in 4-2 district win

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — Atlantic pitcher Chase Mullenix had survived early trouble, when four of the first five Creston batters had hits in taking a 2-0 lead.

In the middle innings of Friday’s Class 3A District 16 opener, Mullenix settled in and retired 11 batters in a row and the Trojans had forged a 2-2 tie. Lodged in a pitching duel against him was Creston senior Kadon Hulett, who used 99 pitches to keep the game deadlocked while racking up seven strikeouts in six innings.

With two outs in the top of the seventh, the bottom of the Panther batting order finally ignited the game-winning two-run outburst.

Dustin Merritt relieved Hulett with a scoreless inning as Creston avenged two earlier defeats to sink the Trojans, 4-2.

Creston had only one hit in the second through sixth innings. Atlantic posed a few more threats with four hits and six runners left on base during that same scoreless stretch.

Atlantic had earlier defeated Creston 5-4 on a seventh-inning Panther error, and a 16-0 shutout by Mul-

“We knew that we didn’t really play our brand of baseball either time we played them,” said senior Cody Crawford, who hit the ground Crawford ball single that produced both seventh-inning runs. “We knew we could do it tonight.”

The Panthers hadn’t had a baserunner since the third inning when Eli Loudon reached on an error on a play to the right of first baseman Jyden Trotter with two outs in the top of the seventh. Michael Scherer, the ninth batter in the order, poked a low pitch into shallow right field for a single.

ANITA — With Lenox runners on second and third with no outs down one in the top of the seventh, lesser teams than the CAM Cougars would have folded and lost control of Saturday’s Class 1A District 13 title game.

Instead, the Cougars fended off a late run by the Tigers, keyed by big defensive plays to take the game 3-2.

The win pushed CAM (21-7) to the Class 1A Substate 7 game against St. Albert (26-12) on Tuesday.

Panthers hope to quell upset trend in District 16 n Panthers

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

Lenox’s Drew Venteicher singled to start the top of the seventh, and coach Tyler Peterson called on Zach Schmitz to pinch-run for him.

Schmitz took second and then moved to third on Colton Gordon’s perfect bunt down the third base line.

“Colton Gordon, in my mind, the most improved player on our team and possibly our conference, the district games too he’s been phenomenal,” Lenox coach Tyler Peterson said.

“He put down a spectacular bunt and he was able to move to second. You’ve got to put pressure on a team like that.”

CAM coach Dan Daugherty then pulled starting pitcher Nick Holste in favor of center fielder Marcus Daugherty, and moved right fielder DeShawn Carr to center. That move paid off.

Jared Hensley came to the plate, and Schmitz moved to second on a pitch in the dirt.

Hensley responded with a shallow fly to center field, which Carr caught after taking a few steps in, and in a continuous motion, fired

there,” Crawford said. “I was just looking to put the ball in play. With two outs, everyone is moving.”

Crawford drove a bouncer to the right of shortstop Chase McLaren, whose only hope was to make an off-balance throw to force the speedy Scherer at third base.

“I did what I had to do,” Crawford said. “I looked around and people were scrambling everywhere.”

Loudon scored the tying run as McLaren was trying

Creston baseball coach Steve Birchard hopes one trend from Class 3A District 16 comes to a halt tonight.

In Friday’s district semifinal games, both winners avenged two regular-season losses to post upset victories as Creston topped Atlantic 4-2 and Denison-Schleswig edged top-seeded Glenwood, 2-1.

The Rams had swept the Monarchs during the season, 7-4 and 15-8.

Birchard’s concern is based on his team’s wins of 7-6 and 7-4 over Denison-Schleswig on June 15 and 16, after the second game was rained out on the night of the scheduled doubleheader.

“That’s what kind of scares me,” Birchard said after his team avenged losses of 5-4 and 16-0 to Atlantic on Friday. “I hope the trend of not being able to beat a team Birchard the third time doesn’t continue. We know we’re capable of doing this.”

The Panthers are seeking a district championship tonight at Glenwood against a hot Denison-Schleswig team that has won seven of its last eight games. The Monarchs have improved to 16-20 after starting the year 9-19.

“We’ve been playing awfully well,” Denison-Schleswig coach Don Lyons told KMA broad-

caster Bryan Clark after Friday’s upset victory over the Rams. “We went to eastern Iowa and beat two teams with 20 wins. We came back a confident ball club.”

Headlining Friday’s victory was senior pitcher Sam Weber, who improved to 6-0 on the season with five hits allowed, three strikeouts and one walk.

The hard-luck loser was Glenwood’s AJ Slaughter, who no-hit the Monarchs for the first five innings while chalking up nine strikeouts.

The Monarchs broke through in the sixth. Jaden Langenfeld walked with one out and was on the move on a 3-2 pitch to Jackson Marten. As Glenwood second baseman Andrew Holiday moved to cover second, Marten poked a single to the right side where Holiday had been stationed.

Glenwood right fielder Colton Schutte bobbled the ball and his throw home sailed high to give the Monarchs a 1-0 lead. Jade Magnuson then singled in Marten for the team’s second hit and second run.

The Rams were able to break through with a run in the seventh, but a costly out occurred at second base on a controversial play.

Leadoff batter Mavrick Decker came up with Eli Bales and Holiday on base after singles, with one out.

During the at-bat, a pitch skipped away from Monarchs catcher Ben Pardun.

Pinch-runner Josh Ruth broke for third and made it safely.

At second, Cooper Silvius was originally called out, then safe when the base umpire thought the ball hit the ground just after the tag. After both umpires met, they ruled the ball didn’t hit the ground PITCHING | 10A

made a catch and made a throw that will top one of his top memories from high school. That was a spectacular play.�

Mistakes hurt early Most of the scoring took place early on in the contest.

The error bug bit Lenox early on when a hard Marcus Daugherty grounder scooted through the legs of Colton Hogan at first base.

After a Thomas Hensley sacrifice bunt and a Mitchell Williamson single to put runners on the corners, Austin Chester came through with an run-scoring single over the head of Tiger shortstop Anderson to put CAM up 1-0.

Williamson then came around to score on a Nick Holste groundout to first for an early 2-0 lead. “We were lucky to get the two (runs) in the first,� Dan Daugherty said. “That was huge to jump out ahead 2-0.

We probably hit the ball better in the first than we did any of the rest of the innings.

It was a good thing we got to him early. He settled in and didn’t give us much after that.�

The only other run Hensley gave up came in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Tiger offense sparks Lenox had tied the game with a run in each the second and third innings.

Hogan singled sharply up the middle with one out in the second, stole second base during Brenden Christensen’s at-bat, and dashed from second to home on Drew Venteicher’s RBI single to left to pull within a run of the Cougars.

Lenox struck again in the third.

Hensley led off the frame off with a double, moved to second on a passed ball, and came around to score on Dawson Tullberg’s sky-high blooper to shallow right field

CAM responded in turn, when mistakes in the field hurt Lenox again.

Holste singled to left to start the Cougars’ turn at the plate, as the ball bounced over CAM’s rough field surface and skipped past Lenox left fielder Aaron Schmitz.

Holste took second on the play.

Hensley induced a popout and a groundout, and then squared off with CAM freshman Ben Tipken.

Tipken hit a routine grounder to second base, but Tullberg threw the ball away to allow Holste to score for the go-ahead and eventual winning run.

Hensley then walked Daniel Burnison and coach Peterson decided to intentionally walk Marcus Daugherty at the top of the lineup, to get to Thomas Hensley. Hensley flew out to center to work out of the fourth.

The Cougars put runners on in both the fifth and sixth, but Hensley worked out of both situations.

He went the distance on the mound, allowing just five hits and struck out three with just one earned run allowed. “We got everything out of Jared that we could have asked for,� Peterson said. “He goes over 100 pitches. I thought about making a change early in the game. But the kid’s a leader. He called me last night and said ‘I want the ball,’ and you can’t take the ball away from the kid when he wants it.’�

Chance in the sixth The top of the seventh did not represent Lenox’s lone chance to grab the lead back.

Tullberg singled in the sixth and moved to second when Drew Venteicher was hit by a pitch.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, a Hogan comeback one-hopper to Holste on the mound was gloved by the pitcher, who faked a throw to first and got Tullberg caught

in between third and home.

Holste fired a low shot toward third baseman Jacob Holste who then applied the tag to Tullberg for the second out of the inning.

Christensen then gave the Cougars a scare, only for Marcus Daugherty to break the Tigers’ hearts.

Christensen’s long fly ball to deep center sent Daugherty back on a dead sprint, only to snag the ball at the top of his leap for the third out as the hundreds of Cougar fans in attendance went wild. “We made some plays tonight that you don’t see a lot of high school teams make some of the plays we made,�

Dan Daugherty said. “Marcus went back at that ball, they had two runners on base there and he catches that one over his head in center.�

Cougar shortstop Thomas Hensley also nabbed several difficult grounders to rob the Tigers of base hits.

CAM played the more clean game, which it knew it needed to do to win.

Senior losses Lenox seniors Tullberg, Hensley, Anderson and Cole Johnston’s time as Tigers has come to an end. “Those first three guys were 4-5 year starters, middle infielders, all-conference players. All-district players,�

Peterson said. “Very difficult to mimic those type of guys, but we’ll regroup, reload, and have some more success in the future for sure.�

Peterson hopes that his players take lessons away from games and seasons like this. “It’s disappointing, but like I told the guys, all good things come to an end.

You can look back on tonight’s game and every game we played this season and the young men can hold their heads high and be happy with the way they conducted themselves not only as players, but young men too,� Peterson said. “In the scope of

Pitching change Now, in the seventh, Birchard faced a tough decision. Hulett was pitching well, but was only 11 pitches from the 110-pitch limit.

Rather than have his closer, Merritt, come in during the middle of an inning, he chose to start him in the seventh as the top of the Trojans’ order was coming up. “Kadon is a competitor and he will always give you everything he’s got,�

Birchard said, “but they would be coming up with a fourth look at him and it was not likely he’d get through the inning before hitting the limit. Merritt has kind of grown into that role for us.

He throws a lot of strikes.�

Crawford switched from first base to right field, where he made a catch for one of the seventh-inning outs. “Obviously, as a starting pitcher you want to go out and finish the seventh,�

Hulett said, “but I have enough confidence in Merritt that he’s going to win that game for us.�

Merritt, a junior who made two putouts in right field before taking the mound, said he relishes the closing role.

Actually, it’s his only chance to pitch. “My shoulder’s not really capable of starting,� Merritt said. “I can throw about 30 pitches before it gets sore. I like coming in and throwing strikes to help us get the win.

I get pretty pumped up when coach says I’m coming in. I just throw strikes and rely on my guys to make the outs.

We had a good scouting re-

port on them tonight and we were prepared for what they do.�

Birchard said assistant coach Brandon Phipps had a scouting report for the Creston defense designed to take away more of the shallow hits that fell in front of Panther outfielders during that 16-0 drubbing on June 29. “We played pretty good defensively,� Birchard said. “Offensively we got off to

Atlantic closes at 12-20.

It was not a surprise to Scherer’s teammates that he was able to scramble home for the insurance run. “First of all, any play in the hole that far is a tough play for the shortstop,� said Brenden McDowell, the Panthers shortstop. “With Scherer on second, he’s the fastest player on our team and he got to the base in time to make it tough for them.
