FSHS baseball edges Olathe North

? Hunter Gudde pitched a complete game and didn’t need much run support in a 2-1 victory against Olathe North on Tuesday at ODAC.

The Firebirds (5-1) scored a run in the second inning when junior Jaden Moore hit an RBI double, driving in junior Matt Hill. Junior Zion Bowlin added a RBI single in the sixth inning, scoring Moore.

Gudde, a senior right-hander, struck out seven in seven innings, allowing only five hits and one run.

“Hunter was fantastic on the mound,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “The wind was blowing about 950 miles per hour out to left. I would have bet anything it would have been a high-scoring game. Kudos to our defense and to Hunter.”
