| Robert Burns eyes an incoming pitch for the Devils |
The Warren County Screaming Devils have taken to the diamond for the fourth consecutive year this spring as they continue to restart the baseball program at Warren County High School. This is Warren County's second consecutive season of high school baseball as they seek to build upon their experience in the middle school. The 2011 Screaming Devils are led by Coach Scott Swann.

Warren County started the season 0-2 with losses to Butler and Hancock Central. Even though the Devils lost their first two, Coach Swann sees improvement in his team. "We basically lost to Butler because we could not throw strikes. A week later, we lost to Hancock because they hit the ball and we made errors. Our pitching is improving. We just have to play better defense."
The Screaming Devils actually led for a brief period in the first inning. Keighron Allen provided some excitment for the Devil fans in attendance when he lined a pitch to left field and then scored on a hit by Randy Paschall. Warren County scored one more when the pitcher threw a wild pitch with Warren County trying to steal home. The Devil's offense dried up after that, however, and Warren County fell to the Bulldogs in three innings.
Next up for Warren County is a rematch with Butler on Thursday, March 10 at Butler. "If we pitch and hit like we did against Hancock and can cut out the errors, I feel we stand a good chance in the second game against Butler," commented Coach Swann. Game time is set for 4:15.
