Haydon Bevier posted a 1.13 ERA in 2026. He was 18-5 for his career with a 2.57 ERA.

believed to be 1st no-no for Orioles since 2022

Haydon Bevier hurled a no-hitter -- believed to be the first by a Rocky Grove pitcher since 2022 -- in the Orioles' 7-0 conquest of Lakeview on May 11.

Bevier struck out 13 and walked three in his masterpiece and was backed by a three-run homer by Landon Jones.

The no-hitter is thought to be first by a Grove pitcher since Eli Moreland's five-inning gem against Iroquois on April 14, 2022.

Five days later Franklin's Zach Boland and Matt Wimer threw a no-hitter against Seneca. It was another five-inning job.

Later on that season Aaron Burkhardt threw a 1-hitter in the Grove's 11-1 romp over

Eisenhower.

Travis Perry pitched a six-inning no-hitter against Union City in 2018.

Kennedy Stewart (16) was one of five Berries who hit at least .500 this season.

​

Happy days were here again for Ashlyn McWilliams (21), who picked up where she left off in 2025 after returning to the lineup. McWilliams, who missed time with a hip ailment, hit .500 for the Berries. She was at .476 last season.

Berries ousted in first round of softball playoffs

Cranberry softball closed at 17-6 after a 9-7 loss to District 5 champion Everett in the first round of the 2A state playoffs. 

Everett finished 20-9, the WPIAL champion before being eliminated by eventual state champion Laurel the next round.

Ashlyn McWilliams, who missed most of this, her junior season with a hip injury, led a nine-hit attack with a triple and two singles. She was a .500 hitter in 24 at-bats -- this after a break-out sophomore season in which she hit .476.

Cranberry had five players who hit .400 or better. The others: Jadyn Shumakaer .441. Kennedy Stewart .434, Emma Morrow .411 and Wenner .400. The Berries also had Avery Coe at .360, Cheyne Scarborough at .357, Hess at .339 and Hannah Smith at .321.

Wenner was 9-1 with a 4.06 ERA and a 21/93 W/K over 62.3 innings. 

Hess was 12-6 with a 3.57 ERA. She worked 98 innings with a 43/113 W/K.

ABOUT THIS SITE

If you are from Anywhere, USA, and happened to stumble upon this site, Franklin and Oil City are about eight miles apart along Route 8 in Venango County, Pa. -- which is about halfway between Pittsburgh and Erie in the western part of the state.

​

yardsandpoints.com (formerly venangofootball.com and then route8rivalry.com) covers the grid doings of Oil City and Franklin high schools in Venango County. It also includes the football histories of the two schools, which date back to 1896, along with that of (RIP) Venango Catholic (nee Christian and formerly St. Joseph in Oil City), which dropped the sport in the 1990s. I've recently included more stuff on basketball as well as the doings in other sports.
