Sage Hill edged

Sage Hill School senior pitcher Zach Friedrichs got far worse than he

deserved in the Lightning’s 3-2 baseball loss to visiting Western

Christian in the first round of the Sage Hill Spring Tournament

Wednesday.

Friedrichs pitched a complete-game three-hitter and walked none,

but was victimized by six Sage Hill errors that led to three unearned

runs.

Friedrichs also went 2 for 2 with a double and drove in both runs

for the Lightning (6-5-1), which plays Liberty Christian Friday at

noon in a consolation semifinal.

Friedrichs lowered his ERA to 0.78 in 27 innings this spring.
