SALEM CAGES THE CARDS

/in /by

CANFIELD, OH- A night after beating West Branch for the first time in over 8 years, the Quakers rolled into Canfield and beat the Cardinals for the first time in over 20 years.

The Quakers’ recently lethargic offense came alive early putting up 3 runs in the first inning. After 2 hit batters and a base hit by sophomore Lane Rhodes loaded the bases, senior catcher Bryce Owen came through with a 2 out base hit, scoring two. That was quickly followed by an RBI single from freshman Blaise Exline.

That would be all the run supports junior starting pitcher Seth Seddon would need. Seddon went the distance for the Quakers giving up 1 run on 5 hits and struck out 4. Seth somehow improved upon the Quaker pitching staff’s already ridiculously low ERA to a sparse 2.13.

The Quakers added a couple of insurance runs in the 5th for good measure on a 2 out, 2 run single by senior Adam Wilson. Seddon did the rest.

Seniors Turner Johnson and Bryce Owen both had 2 hits for the Quaker offense.

The Quakers have evened their record to 5-5 on the season (3-3 in the EBC) and have the rest of the week off before they return to action on Monday at Beaver Local with the first pitch at 5:00 pm.

ARMENI HOMERS, IRISH BLEMISH TIGER RECORD

/in /by

NEW MIDDLETOWN, OH- The Ursuline Irish have figured things out.  They have clicked.  However you want to describe it, they are playing some top-tier baseball at the moment.  After starting off the season 0-4, the Irish are heating up with the temperatures.

On Wednesday night, they became the “one” in a 9-1 Springfield Tigers win-loss record.

It was Ursuline’s Jeremy Kreuzweiser that took advantage on a Tiger error in the top of the sixth inning to give the Irish an 8-7 lead, and eventually the win over Springfield.

Springfield was playing catch up virtually the entire game as the Irish started things off with four runs in the top of the first when Colin Balas scored on a passed ball, followed by a Dante Walker RBI single, and Andrew Sabella’s double that drove in a pair.  Springfield would fire back in the bottom of the frame with a 3-run inning that was keyed when Clayton Nesbeth scored on a balk call against Glenn Griswold.

The Irish would keep swinging the hot bats in the top of the second when Vince Armeni went yard for the Irish.  The blast over the centerfield fence drove in three and made the game 7-3, Irish.

Glenn Griswold would pick up the victory for the Green and Gold, going five innings and allowing 7 runs on five hits, striking out three.  Joel Kreuzweiser made a relief appearance striking out a pair.

The Ursuline win improves their record to 3-6, while Springfield drops their first game of the season and sit at 9-1.

QUAKERS, WILSON WILL THEIR WAY TO VICTORY

/in /by

SALEM, OH- The Quakers improved to 4-0 at Ray Reisbeck Field Wednesday night after rallying from a 3 run deficit to beat the Warriors 4-3.

Senior starter Adam Wilson went the distance for the Quakers giving up 3 runs (1 earned) on 6 hits while striking out 8 West Branch batters.

After West Branch took a 1 run lead in the second inning, they added 2 more in the 4th to stake a 3-0 lead. But the Quakers struck back in the bottom of the 4th to tie it at 3 after an RBI single by freshman Darius Beck and an error by the West Branch shortstop with the bases loaded that led to the 2nd and 3rd runs.

After getting into a little trouble in the 5th with runners on 1st and 2nd and only 1 out, Wilson got a ground ball out to get the lead runner at third and then a line drive that hit a West Branch runner in the foot ended the threat.

The Quakers would capitalize in the bottom of the 5th when sophomore Lane Rhodes blooped a base hit over the third baseman’s head and hustled out of the box to stretch it into a double. Wilson would help his own cause on the very next pitch as he lined a single to left field that scored Rhodes.

That would be the difference as Adam Wilson finished the deal over the next two innings to earn his third win in the EBC and bring the Quakers record to 4-5 overall and 3-3 in the EBC.

The Quakers are back in action Thursday as they travel to Canfield to take on the Cardinals at 5pm.
