Colonels blank Wheeler on Senior Night

Cass pitchers Cayden Roberts and Chase Tatum combined Tuesday night on a three-hit, shutout as the Colonels blanked visiting Wheeler, 14-0, in five innings.

The win came on the evening the Colonels recognized their 2023 seniors -- Wesley Collins, Todd Gaddy, and Carson Hill.
