Katelyn Horning secured a spot on the U.S. World team with her performance this week at the Outdoor National Inline Speed Skating Championships in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Horning, a rising senior at Salisbury High, finished third in a 200-meter time trial and fifth in a 20K elimination race Tuesday. Wednesday she finished fourth in the 500 meters and fifth in a 10K points race.

Horning finished the competition among the top six and will represent the U.S. at a competition in Spain in December.

Nick Lomascolo pitched a complete game and struck out 11 batters in Mooresville's 3-0 victory against Mocksvile on Wednesday.

Of his nine hits, two were doubles and another two were home runs, while he also scored six runs and drove in six RBIs. Sands racked up 17 total bases to go with a .739 slugging percentage.
