EMPORIA — The youthful Inman baseball team may not have gained a first-round victory Thursday in the Class 2-1A State Tournament, but it did gain a ton of experience for the next time it comes back.
Longtime state power Sedan held off the Teutons 3-2 to advance to today’s semifinals, but not before it received all it wanted from a team that included five sophomores among its top 10 players.
Sedan scored two runs in the top of the first and added a run in the fourth to mount a 3-0 lead, but as it did in the regional, Inman showed no quit. It scored a run in the fifth and another in the seventh. The Teutons had the tying and go-ahead runs on board, but Sedan pitcher Austin Filtingberger was able to extricate himself from the jam to propel the Blue Devils into today’s semifinals against Heritage Christian.
Wyatt Regehr started on the mound for the Teutons and Treyton DeVore came on in the fourth inning. Filtingberger finished with 15 strikeouts for Sedan.
The loss ended the Teutons’ season at 12-10, but with most of their team coming back they are expected to be a state regular for the next few years. The only seniors were Brock Lucas and Layne Richert.
Two other first-round games were close. Top-seed St. Paul survived 1-0 against Medicine Lodge, while Ell-Saline clipped Valley Falls 2-1 in eight innings. Heritage Christian’s 12-2 rout of Sublette was the only decisive game of the day.

There were 13 four-man teams battling it out for supremacy Thursday as 52 senior golfers turned out for the weekly get-together at Turkey Creek.
Taking first with a 63 was the team of Ron Rivir, Alan Kulbeth, Denis Everhart and Duane Bender. That team was three shots ahead of the runner-up foursome of Gary Shaft, Jim Ketcherside, Jerry Grant and Don Blankenship.
In First Flight, a 68 by the team of Dean Elliott, Joe Ledell, Galen Regehr and Rich Benson took top honors, one stroke better than Dick Pfalzgraf, Rick Anderson, Roscoe Beasley and Rex Morris.
After next week’s play, lunch will be served. Turkey Creek senior golf is for all those 55 and over. Sign-in is 8 a.m., with tee time at 8:30.
