Oran falls in Class 1 semis

Posted Wednesday, May 30, 2012, at 12:33 PM

Oran lost to Santa Fe 3-2 in eight innings in the Class 1 semifinals Wednesday morning at Meador Park in Springfield.

The winning run scored on an error -- one of five committed by the Eagles on the day -- in the top of the eighth inning.

I'm going to have much more on the game soon.

Oran will play a to-be-determined opponent for third place at 10 a.m. Thursday.

Just read the whole cover it live thread. Tough loss for a great team. Sounds as if the Curry kid for Sante Fe was legit. At least his curveball seemed like an outstanding pitch. Here's to hoping Oran bounces back tomorrow and Seth throws a great game.

Curry threw 82-84 (I saw it on a gun) with a sweeping curve and above average change-up. He's also only a sophomore. Great poise and only has room to improve with his build.

He's listed as a junior, but, yes, he was impressive.
