Team Orange sweeps the Blood Series

Nov. 10 at Johnny LeMaster Field, the UPIKE baseball team held the annual Blood Series. Team Black was coached by senior Zack Nothwehr, and Team Orange was coached by senior Nikky Gonzalez. This is a great tradition for the Bears because they get to compete one last time before the fall season ends. The loser of this series has to give blood at the Kentucky Blood Center, and the winning team gets to watch. It’s a three-game series between the two teams.
Game one was taken by Team Orange 3-1 with an outstanding performance from A.J Carkner, the junior transfer from Wala Wala Community College. Game two was also won by the Orange 7-1 and that wrapped up the Blood Series with a sweep from Team Orange.
“The orange team had great team chemistry from the get go, and we played each game relaxed so that we could have fun,” said Jacob DiThomas.
