Unranked Cathedral, the defending state champion, upset No. 4 Roncalli 6-3 in the first game of the Decatur Central regional June 1.
Down 6-0 in the seventh, the Rebels rallied with three runs, but the RBIs from Dylan Williams, Brian Keeney and Nick Schnell – Gatorade’s Indiana Player of the Year – were not enough. Roncalli had seven hits with Dominic Brown and Harrison Koppenhofer each slapping two.
Cathedral pitchers walked Schnell four times. The Rebels struck out 12 times and stranded 14 runners.
In the 4A Evansville Reitz sectional, upset-minded Franklin Central could not push across a run against Jeffersonville.

Sophomore Austin Carr and senior Neil Schmidlin had the Flashes’ other two hits.
