Cincinnati high school highlights
Berry leads Purcell over Elder
Vince Berry's single in the fifth inning drove in two runs, paving the way for Purcell Marian's 8-5 victory over Elder Thursday at Roselawn Field in the continuation of a suspended baseball game.
The loss dropped defending Greater Catholic League champion Elder one game behind St.Xavier in the South Division going into today's 4:30 p.m. showdown at St. Xavier.
If Elder wins, it wins a share of the GCL championship. A victory by St. Xavier gives the Bombers the outright league championship.
