KALIDA — Two veteran baseball coaches faced off Thursday night in Kalida for their annual Putnam County League matchup.

Head Coach Tony Castronova, with over 200 wins, brought his Ottoville Big Green team to battle the Wildcats of Kalida under the direction of Jim McBride, who recently recorded his 350th win on his career.

Thursday night was a night that Coach McBride would soon like to forget as the Big Green dominated the play from start to finish in a 15-0 5-inning win over the Wildcats.
