LAFAYETTE − As of late, Delphi’s baseball team has become something of a Swiss Army Knife. In the case of Saturday’s Class 2A regional championship, a game they won handily by way of a 10-2 final over an 11-15 Bremen team, the Oracles rode a run scoring spree that began in the third and never stopped.

Looks like we are going to be staying on the trend of a roller coaster ride of barometric pressures in the upcoming days. Saturday we will be at the border of feeling good, and not so good.

It resulted in a special senior season, that while ended sooner than most Athenian fans wanted, was still one to remember.
