NEW PHILADELPHIA â With a chance to clinch a share of the Ohio Cardinal Conference title, New Philadelphiaâs Cohen Winters stepped up to the plate.
The Quakers trailed Wooster 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh inning; Winters stood inside the box with one out and bases loaded.
âIâve been waiting for that moment my whole career,â Winters said with a smile. âI told myself to look for a fastball, since I have the confidence to barrel that pitch up.â
On the first pitch of the at-bat, Winters got his fastball, rifling a line drive to center field scoring two runs and a share of the OCC title.
âHeâs had so many good at-bats recently,â Quakers shortstop Braylon McBride said. âHeâs had some bad luck recently not being able to find a gap, so I knew it was the right guy, right spot.â
With the victory, New Philadelphia remains unbeaten in OCC games at 13-0 and sits at 18-3 overall, in the other dugout, the Generals lost its first conference game to fall to 9-1 and 12-2 overall.
The motto for the Quakers this season: âWhy not us.â

âThat has been said every game all season,â New Phila head coach Tyler Weisel said. âWe just continue to battle, and guys are getting into good spots. Iâm just so excited for this program and this community.â
What has impressed Weisel the most this season is the way his team always competes.
âThey are always picking each other up,â he said. âNo matter what happens, heads are high, and we are a cohesive unit who is always ready to bounce back.â
At the beginning of the season goal No. 1 was winning the OCC outright and with a victory in the regular season finale against Wooster on May 13, the Quakers can check this box.
âThis is what weâve been working toward since the end of last season,â Weisel said. âWe want the outright title and after that start our tournament run.â

For Winters and McBride, they felt something special about this team after their 9-0 start to the season.
âIâve never been on a team this good,â Winters said. âI look up to a lot of the guys on this team even though I am a senior, I just want to do my part and win as many games as we can.â
âThe hype we have as a team really just feels like we are all brothers,â McBride added. âWe have put together some good games, and itâs just fun being out there.â
With one game remaining in the regular season, New Philadelphia looks to build momentum into postseason action.
âWinning on a walk-off is almost better than winning big,â McBride said. âWe have a lot of energy to take into the game against Wooster and then the playoffs.â
âWe have to win the first game to win the next one,â Winters added. âWeâre hoping to make a deep playoff run, and that starts with ending the regular season on a high note.â
