By Jen Gibson, Times-Union Sports Editor INDIANAPOLIS -Ê"One-two-three get nasty!" was the Manchester Squires' battle cry throughout the season. Saturday afternoon the Squires got nasty in the state championships as they defeated Batesville 9-8 to capture the Class 2A title at Indianapolis' Victory Field. The funny thing is, the only people who believed the Squires could do it were the Squires themselves.The Manchester squad went into the Wabash Sectional sporting a 7-16 record, the worst record in the sectional.They lost their last game of the season to Columbia City, and put together no more than two wins in a row through the entire regular season. But that did not faze the scrappy Squire squad. To say the least, the Squires were the underdogs throughout the tournament.
