McGill signs with Ohio Dominican

With parents Rick and Susie McGill, baseball coach Chris Hawkins and Athletic Director Mark Townsley looking on, Carlisle High School senior center fielder Nick McGill signed a national letter of intent to play at Ohio Dominican University during a small ceremony Friday in the school library.

“I always wanted to play college baseball some day, so this enables me to pursue that dream,” McGill said. “This feels really good.”

McGill said he knew that ODU had a good baseball program and liked his visit to the Columbus-area school. Ohio Dominican plays in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and Fenwick graduate Tyler Zaidel is a junior on the Panthers’ baseball team this season.

OXFORD — Miami University junior Jessica Simpson pitched the first no-hitter of her collegiate career Friday as the RedHawks split a doubleheader with Northern Illinois, winning the opener 1-0 and losing the second game 4-1 to end their eight-game winning streak.

Simpson allowed only two walks in the first game, becoming the first Miami pitcher to toss a no-hitter since Jackie Poggendorf in 2005. Jenna McGivney’s double drove in the game’s only run.

Miami (29-19 overall, 12-8 in the Mid-American Conference) begins its final series of the regular season at 6 p.m. today against Western Michigan at Miami Softball Stadium.
