Iker Casillas: 'Seguimos siendo mejores que Barcelona en los pasillos'

The Notre Dame Titans staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Boyd County 13-11, scoring five runs in the seventh inning. Key performances included a two-run homer by Kate Entler and an RBI double from Lyndsey Schaefer.
No matter what the score is, one can never count out a group from Scioto County in any ballgame.
Because when one least expects it, the best of the best teams from the county will seemingly jump up and deliver the knockout blow.
It's been showcased on many occasions in the past, and on Saturday, the 2025 OHSAA Division VII State Champion Notre Dame Titans took their turn pulling off a comeback to remember in a game that will certainly be talked about for a long while.
Down 11-8 with just three outs to come back from a three-run deficit after seeing an 8-3 lead slip away, Notre Dame countered with a massive knockout blow to homestanding Boyd County.
The Lady Titans capped the Tri-State Showcase with a bang by scoring five runs in the top of the seventh inning behind a two-run homer to center field by Kate Entler, an RBI double by Lyndsey Schaefer, a wild pitch and a sac fly RBI by Audrey Bach, resulting in a 13-11 win Saturday evening at Boyd County High School in a dramatic turn of events.
Ball State signee Alayla Soard is no stranger to success.
Counting this season, Soard has hit an incredible 36 home runs since the beginning of her sophomore year, including 10 roundtrippers in 2026 â and eight alone since April 15.
The shortstop believes that Saturday's triumph over Boyd County could very well be a defining win in Notre Dame's efforts to run it back and repeat as OHSAA Division VII State Champions once again.
"This game really turned the page for us," Soard said. "Before, we were a little down, but we knew that we had to come back. Our Prom was last night, so we all came back after that and played great. It really just brought a fire to our team that won't be put out right now and will continue throughout the whole season."
Notre Dame first baseman Lyndsey Schaefer concurred with her fellow senior teammate. Schaefer too has been swinging a hot bat lately â as evidenced by the senior infielder swinging at least .500 or better at the plate in each of her last seven games.
She, along with another senior lynchpin in senior outfielder Maycee Ford, each have nine-game hitting streaks that are ongoing.
"Coming in, we knew that Boyd County was going to hit the ball well," Schaefer said. "They're a great team. We just had to come in with lots of confidence and lots of fight. I've been struggling all season at the plate, but I believe that I'm starting to get hot, and I believe that we all are. That's part of being a state championship winning team â we're all together and we're all one. That's what it's been about. It's a family."
Schaefer was a critical piece throughout in helping Notre Dame establish its early lead.
Following a leadoff double by Maycee Ford to begin the second inning of play, it was back-to-back singles by Schaefer and Bella Rush that helped put the Lady Titans up 2-0 initially after two innings of work.
The final score was 13-11 in favor of the Notre Dame Titans.
Kate Entler hit the two-run homer for the Notre Dame Titans.
The Notre Dame Titans scored five runs in the seventh inning to secure their victory.
Lyndsey Schaefer's RBI double and Kate Entler's two-run homer were significant plays in the Titans' comeback.

Leadoff walks by Soard and Kennedy Lyon in the third inning then preceded Kate Entler's two-RBI single to center and â following another walk by Ford â a one-out double by Notre Dame's No. 1 in Schaefer, giving Notre Dame a 5-0 cushion to play with midway through the third inning.
"It takes everybody, so having confidence in what each of us can do is really special," Schaefer said of the team's collective hitting and poise at the plate. "That's what makes us a family."
Boyd County cut the lead to 5-3 through four innings of work, but Schaefer got a three-run inning going in the top of fifth with a leadoff single while Rush walked, leading to two big RBI base hits by Candace Oudeh and Lyon that put Notre Dame ahead by a 7-3 mark.
Soard's single in the same frame was then followed by an RBI groundout from Entler, and midway through the fifth, the Lady Titans held an 8-3 lead over a school nearly eight-and-a-half times its size.
"Knowing that I have people in front of me or behind me, as the two-hole hitter, allows me to feel like I'm just up there to swing for contact," Soard said. "I'm really just getting up there and wanting to put the ball in play for my team."
Ahead by five runs heading into the bottom of the fifth, Notre Dame's comfortable lead was tested and surpassed by Boyd County.
Rallying back with eight runs between the fifth and sixth frames, the Lady Lions utilized production from one-through-three hole hitters in Jadyn Goad, Kentucky commit Savanna Henderson and Marshall signee Jaycie Goad to grab the point back. They combined to go 8-for-10 with three doubles, five RBI and five runs scored in the game, helping Boyd County take its first lead of the game, 11-8, in the bottom of the sixth.
Notre Dame wasn't fazed. Soard, who threw 31 pitches in relief, went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored and had three defensive assists from her shortstop position, was confident the whole way.
"We knew that if we did what we were capable of offensively, we would come back in the bottom of the seventh and would only need to get three outs defensively to win the game," Soard said. "We had that confidence that we could do it."
Entler, one of the unsung heroes of the Notre Dame lineup, proved that right away.
Following a leadoff double by Kennedy Lyon, Entler hammered a 1-1 pitch so high and deep into the Eastern Kentucky night that one couldn't see the ball initially in the air. It ultimately traveled over 250 feet to straightaway center before dropping well out of the park.
Notre Dame was within 11-10. Entler, a battering ram herself with five home runs in 2026, finished 4-for-5 with a home run, five RBI and a run scored in the game.
"When she got up there, in my head, I thought, 'She's going to hit one out,'" Soard said. "When I saw it go and it went out there, it was, 'Wow, she did it.' She comes in clutch for us and has been great this season and in every season."
But they weren't done yet.
Back-to-back walks by Ava Rush and Ford set up Schaefer at the plate.
The last in a line of three Schaefer sisters to attend Notre Dame (Hagen, Cassie), Lyndsey roped a double to right center field. The hit scored Ava Rush to tie the game at 11 apiece.
The hit improved Schaefer's batting average over the last seven games to an incredible 16-for-21 (.762). Quick to remind her older sisters that she is the only state champion in the family, Schaefer put up two triples, three doubles, 13 RBI and 15 runs scored in that span.
"I do," Schaefer said when asked if she reminds her sisters of that fact. "They may have had many accomplishments themselves, but at the end of the day, I'm the only state champion in the family."
Following a walk to Bella Rush that loaded the bases, the situation proved to be too much for Boyd County. On a 1-1 count, Brooke Jacobs had a pitch get away to the backstop, which Ford scored off of.
Notre Dame had regained its lead. And, following a RBI sacrifice fly by Audrey Bach that added in an insurance run and made it 13-11, they wouldn't relinquish it.
"That was crazy," Soard said. "When she scored, it was just like, 'We're back now.' When she scored, we knew that if we just added another run or two, we could play defense without a lot of pressure."
The win improved Notre Dame to 20-2 overall. The Lady Titans have scored double-digit runs in exactly half (11) of their 22 games. They've hit 18 home runs in their last 13 affairs and have tallied a home run in 11 of their last 13 contests to boot â all marks that increased with its comeback triumph over Boyd County in a game where Notre Dame head coach Shad Ford said that his Lady Titans "fought like champs."
But knowing the bigger picture that will be at stake later this month and next when tournament play hits full-song, two of Notre Dame's senior leaders know that Saturday's comeback win over Boyd County is only a precursor of what is to come later in May as well as in June.
"It definitely helps us with battling," Schaefer said. "We're going to get into the tournament and see tougher pitching. Playing teams like this is going to help us in the end."
"We just have to turn up the small things," Soard said, crediting Candace Oudeh in part of her response for her play in filling in at right field. "Honestly, everything was sound. Going forward, we just need to keep hitting and keep playing to our ability level on defense like we did (on Saturday)."
