Parkway North Explodes For 6 Runs & A Convincing Win Over Ladue

Vikings are 16-3 this season. Joey Reeves pitches a 4-hit gem over the Rams.

The Parkway North-Ladue baseball game was kind of like a 4th of July performance. While the North Vikings exploded like a bottle rocket, Ladue mostly fizzled like a cherry bomb with a bad fuse. “We really didn’t get anything going, this just wasn’t our day,” said Ladue’s coach Rob Garrett, trudging off the field after a 6-0 whitewash at the hands of the 16-3 Vikings. Ladue fell to 15-3. Sophomore lefty Joey Reeves went six innings and limited Ladue to just 4 scattered hits. The Vikings have been battled tested this year with two wins over Summit (last year’s state champs, winners over North in the title game); Parkway South, Parkway Central Troy (2 wins), Kirkwood, Hazelwood Central and Burroughs. The Vikings are really busy Coach Fred …

Jesse Farmer's home sustained serious damage in the Good Friday Tornado.

Patch continues to follow the aftermath of the Good Friday storms which wreaked havoc on the lives of thousands of people in the St. Louis area. This weekend, the St. Louis Rams and the National Football League are reaching out to the families impacted by the storm.

This disaster has brought out the very best in …   more ›

St. Louis Rams Help Raise Money for Children's Charities

Rams employees give their time to raise money for children in need.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it: St. Louis Rams distribute newspapers to raise funds for children's charities. The St. Louis professional football team's employees were out early on Nov. 18 to distribute special editions of the Suburban Journals, called Old Newsboys Day. A group, including the Rams' Community Outreach Coordinator Tyler DeCost, passed out the newspapers at Westport Plaza from 6:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. DeCost said this was part of the Ram's staff days of service — the organization's year-old initiative where staff members are expected to do one volunteer event per month, year round. John Oswald, another Rams employee passing out papers at Westport and who works in the team's operations, said the volunteers collected …
