Napoleon baseball solid in all facets of 9-0 Division II regional semifinal win over Huron
BOWLING GREEN — The Napoleon baseball team used some early small ball, some timely hitting, and the right arm — and glove — of junior starting pitcher Trey Rubinstein to earn a 9-0 victory over Huron Thursday in a Division II regional semifinal game at Carter Park.

Rubinstein was brilliant, working quickly to get in a rhythm and mixing a firm fastball with a crisp curveball. He scattered two hits in his complete-game shutout with six walks and 11 strikeouts. But whether it was quick reflexes, instincts taking over, plain luck, or all of the above, no play was bigger than when he speared a line drive up the middle with his glove hand with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning and proceeded to double up a runner off second base to end the threat and preserve a 4-0 lead at the time.
