Carmella and Don Smith stand in a field on their property that borders Refugee and Pickerington roads in Pickerington on Saturday, April 15. The Smiths have faced a plethora of opponents in their attempts to have their land rezoned for an unnamed "big box" store. The Smiths say that those who are against the rezoning have raised the issue of how close the property is to the Pickerington High School North campus (seen beyond the tree line behind he Smith's). The couple points out that the proposed site of the business on their lot is farther away from the school than the Kroger shopping center, which is directly across Refugee Road from the high school.

LANCASTER – Even though he is only a sophomore, Newark’s Brody Randall gets it when it comes to playing heated-rival Lancaster.
The stakes couldn’t have been any higher on Thursday, April 23, with first place in the Ohio Capital Conference-Buckeye Division on the line. Both teams came in 6-0 in the conference.
Randall was forced into duty because the game started on Wednesday, April 22, but was suspended because of rain in the bottom of the second inning with the Golden Gales leading 2-1.
In the biggest start of his young career, Randall was outstanding. He was able to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the second inning and then proceeded to keep the Lancaster hitters off balance the next three-plus innings by not allowing a hit.
Randall would eventually watch his pitch count rise and was relieved in the sixth inning, and while the Gales rallied, it wasn’t enough as the Wildcats held on for a 6-5 victory at England Field. Their celebration after the game showed how much the rivalry meant.

It was Newark’s ninth consecutive win as the Wildcats improved to 11-1 overall while the Gales slipped to 10-3.
“I was on the team last year as a freshman, and I felt the vibes of this rivalry,” Randall said. “I play football, and it’s the same vibe. We have beaten them two years in a row in football, we owned them in basketball, and now baseball. This rivalry means everything to me.”
Newark coach Michael Wheeler said Randall showed a lot of poise, and winning at Lancaster is never easy.
“In a rivalry game like this, you start the game, and you are already down a run, so it’s a tough situation for a sophomore, but he came out, pitched out of a jam and then got rolling,” Wheeler said. He was able to grind it out until his pitch count got too high. This has always been a tough place to play, and we haven’t won a lot down here, and we remember that. We were both undefeated in the league, and I think everybody had this one circled a long time ago.”
After getting out of the bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the second inning, Randall struck out the side in the third and didn’t allow a hit until the bottom of the sixth inning before he was relieved by Trenton Wilson. Randall finished with nine strikeouts.
"I have a two-seamer that moves, and it’s hard for the batter to pick up,” Randall said. “They have an all-right-hand lineup, so if I throw a two-seam outside, they were swinging and missing, and that’s all I had to do.”

Lancaster coach Corey Conn said Randall did a nice job of keeping the Gales off balance, but at the same time, was disappointed his team didn’t make better adjustments at the plate.
“He was able to keep us off balance, and we couldn’t string anything together, and were just never able to get settled in against him,” Conn said. “He was mixing the zone up and kept us uncomfortable, but at the same time, we have to be better. He is deceptive and hides the ball well. Still, you have to adjust, and we didn’t do a good job of adjusting.”
The game started with fireworks on Wednesday as the Wildcats took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a Bodie Smith triple. Lancaster quickly took the lead in the bottom half of the inning when Kam Griffith hit a towering two-run home run. Lancaster’s momentum was interrupted by the rain. Lancaster’s Carson Miller and Newark’s Moses Crane, the starters on Wednesday, were unable to pitch on Thursday because they both had thrown over 30 pitches.
Newark took the lead for good on Thursday in the third inning when they loaded the bases against Griffith. They were able to score on a passed ball and an infield hit. The Wildcats added to their lead by scoring two more runs in the fourth inning to take a 5-1 advantage. Crane had an RBI single, and Smith doubled to score Crane.
Newark scored what turned out to be a huge insurance run in the sixth inning. Brody Driskel doubled, stole third, and scored on a sacrifice fly from Randall.
Lancaster didn’t go down quietly. The Gales were able to plate three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning with two outs. A walk, a single, and two batters were hit to force home a run, and Brayden Montgomery ripped a two-run double, but Wilson was able to strike the next batter out to get out of the inning.
Lancaster had the tying run on second in the seventh inning after Brody Broeckel hit an infield single and stole second, but the Gales were unable to come up with a timely hit.
