VIKINGS TEACH CHALKER A LESSON

By Michael Wolfgang 


LEAVITTSBURG, OHIO – One of the more difficult things to do in baseball is to sweep a double header. LaBrae accomplished this Saturday as they beat Chalker 15-4 in game one and 17-3 in game two.

In game one, Chalker made a push in the top of the third inning scoring three runs which cut the LaBrae lead to 9-4. But then LaBrae had an answer in the bottom half of the inning, breaking out for six runs to put the game away. The big inning was due to singles by Dylan Swaton, Owen Boone, Dylan Simpson, and Austin Rowe and a double by Brogan Collins.

Swaton was tagged the winner on the mound in game one, pitching three innings allowing four runs on five hits while striking out one and walking one.

In game two, it was the same story. Big offensive explosions for LaBrae and no real answers by the Chalker offense to respond. LaBrae opened up the scoring in the first inning going for six runs right away. The inning was started by a Rowe single which scored two runs. Six more runs came in the top of the second inning coming off of RBI’s by Swatton, Boone, Simpson, Aiden Doll, and Landon Brunstetter. Simpson went 2-for-2 at the plate, leading Labrae in hits.

Rowe was the winning pitcher in game two, going three innings allowing just two hits, one run, five strikeouts, and zero walks.

LaBrae will look to keep the offensive firepower rolling on Monday as they host Newton Falls at 5:00 p.m.

FALCONS FLY AWAY IN THE FIFTH

AUSTINTOWN OH- With spring break rapidly approaching, that means a variety of baseball and softball teams are gearing up for trips to South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida over the break! These trips are designed to give teams a unique look at different competition, build everlasting bonds amongst teammates and, most importantly, to have fun while doing so! For the Austintown-Fitch Falcons baseball club, they had one more scheduled contest before hitting the road for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Their opponent? Ashtabula County’s own, Lakeside Dragons! Meaning the battle between all YSN opponents would be going to the sky for Falcons vs. Dragons.

Starting on the mound for Fitch was Frankie Pugliese, while opposing him for The Dragons was Anthony Wooten. Pugliese pitched around a two out double by Alex Disalvatore, by striking out a pair in the first, sending it to The Falcons half of the inning. Frankie Senediak would get aboard to lead things off, before Rocco DiFlorio delivered a clutch, two out, RBI-double to give Fitch the initial 1-0 lead! Pugliese would be pulled after three innings of work where he surrendered no runs and struck out five! Fitch Head Coach Joe Paris said “The goal is to get everyone a little bit of work before going on our trip.” Meaning multiple pitchers and position players would be utilized in the contest.
For The Dragons, Wooten was a magician on the mound, getting himself out of multiple jams, including a bases loaded, one out pinch in the fourth! Keeping The Fitch lead to a slim 1-0 advantage, Wooten pitched strong enough to give his team a good chance to win! However, The Falcons finally broke through in the fifth, when they scored a combined nine runs of offense off both Wooten and relief pitcher Dillion Schidel, with the help of some infield errors by The Dragons defense.
Nik Kyprianou and John Darnley pitched the remaining inning for The Falcons, with Darnley going two innings of relief and Kyprianou going one. Fitch would get the last run needed in the sixth, effectively enforcing the mercy rule and winning the ballgame 10-0 over Lakeside in six innings. The Dragons will be in-action next on Friday, April 7th where they will travel to Madison in a matchup with The Blue Streaks. Following the win, Fitch will now travel to Myrtle Beach for a trio of games, starting on Tuesday, April 11th at Saint James High School in South Carolina!
Interviews with Austintown-Fitch Head Coach Joe Paris and Player of The Game Frankie Senediak can be found below!
Senediak: 2/2, 2 BBs, 3 Runs scored!
