LADY QUAKERS “SOLDI” AGAINST MINERVA

/in /by

MINERVA, OH- After six innings the Minerva Lions held a 5-4 lead and that’s when it began to rain. Thanks to the Tennessee trip the Quakers consider any rain up north here to be nothing but a sprinkle. Elly Exline began the 7th inning with a base hit. Taylor Thorpe moved her to second on a sac bunt she almost beat out. Then Hayden Carner and Meg Rossero hit back to back rbi doubles to give Salem the 6-5 lead. With two outs Rylie “soldi” Troy hit another double to left center for what would end up the game winner.

With Salem leading 7-5, rainy weather and the top of the lineup coming up for the Lions it was time for the Quakers to do whatever they had to – to win a close conference game. The leadoff hitter Brunner who already had two doubles in the game – hit a shot towards left field. Rylie Troy made an all-out running then diving catch to snag the shot before it could touch the grass. Taylor Thorpe then struck out the #2 batter for the fourth time before Minerva would put three straight two-out hits together and tighten the score to 7-6 with two runners on. Hannah Kelm (2B) secured the final out on pop up.

Elly Exline had three hits in the game and scored three runs. On Hayden Carner’s rbi double she broke the single-season rbi record and now has 24. Bailee Thorn led off the game with a double. Brooke Veglia extended her hitting streak to 11 games. Meg Rossero singled and doubled with 2 rbi. Taylor Thorpe and Rylie Troy each had two hits. Madison Markovich and Jessica Slocum each singled. Each position in the lineup had at least one hit – that’s teamwork.

Bailee Thorn chased down a blooped ball and made a great throwback to 1st for a double play. Elly Exline continued to play error-free ball from 3rd on three chances. Taylor Thorpe broke the single-season wins record with her 13th win and struck out 8 in the game.

If you’ve read this far you deserve to know that soldi means “money” in Italian. Rylie has been “money”’ the past few evenings.

The Lady Quakers are back in action Monday at home against Marlington.

CANTON SOUTH CURLS LADY QUAKERS

/in /by

SALEM, OH- Elly Exline singled twice, stole a base and scored two of the four Quakers runs in the loss to the Wildcats. Hayden Carner doubled twice and ended the evening with two more rbi. She now has 22 on the season and is one away from tying the single-season Quaker record for rbi. Fellow teammate Taylor Thorpe now has 19 rbi with her sac fly in the 7th scoring Jenna McClish. Brooke Veglia blooped a single to extend her hitting streak to 9 games. As Brooke heats up in the 6th position in the lineup, one spot in front of her is Meg Rossero who had another two-hit game and is poised to stay hot. The freshmen duo of Jenna McClish and Rylie Troy each made an impact with a hit as well as scoring a run. Rylie Troy and Meg Rossero also stole a base.

The defensive gem of the game was turned in by catcher Hayden Carner on a perfectly placed bunt from Canton South. As the ball rolled down the first base line Hayden took control and sacrificed her body to make one heck of a nice off-balance throw for a big time out. This season Hayden has taken over the pitch calling and has done a superb job. The things great catchers do – don’t always end up in the press but those that watch the game know that Carner is a beast. The pitching staff has 181 ks this season and only one batter has reached on a drop third strike and that was only because there was a runner at third and Hayden opted to allow it. Only 6 stolen bases by our opponents this season. Hats off (or helmet) to Miss Carner for leading behind the dish this season.

Taylor Thorpe & Hayden Carner struck out 12 batters.

Salem is home vs Howland on Wednesday.
