The Highlands Bluebirds baseball team (12-9 overall) split its games in the Reid Rizzo Classic on Saturday at Cincinnati LaSalle.

Highlands opened the day with a 3-2 defeat against the Centerville (Ohio) Elks but rebounded to beat the Port Huron (Michigan) Big Red, 16-0 in five innings. The Bluebirds moved to 1-5 against out-of-state competition. The five losses have come against Ohio teams including three against the tough Greater Catholic League South.
