CARDS SEEING RED IN BOARDMAN

/in /by

BOARDMAN OH- What a stellar performance on the softball diamond! Canfield came out swinging and never looked back, shutting out Boardman with a commanding 6-0 victory.

Leah Figueroa was the standout for Canfield, notching three hits in four at-bats and driving in a crucial run in the first inning to set the tone for the game. And let’s not forget about Malena Toth, who was an absolute force on the mound, striking out an impressive 14 batters while keeping Boardman’s offense at bay with just three hits allowed over seven solid innings.

Boardman’s Tori Strines did her best to keep pace in the circle, but Canfield’s relentless offense proved to be too much to handle. Despite a valiant effort, Strines surrendered five runs over five and one-third innings.

Canfield’s bats were on fire, tallying 11 hits in the game, with Jenna Triveri contributing two of her own. And with Figueroa leading the charge in the field with 11 chances and no errors, Canfield’s defense was rock-solid all game long.

Boardman had some bright spots too, with Alex Ward leading the charge with two hits, but Canfield’s dominance on both offense and defense ultimately sealed the deal. With performances like this, Canfield is definitely a team to watch out for as the season heats up.

BOARDMAN OH- What a nail-biter of a baseball game it was at Boardman High School on Thursday night! The Boardman Spartans pulled off a heart-stopping victory in the bottom of the seventh, edging out the Lakeview 4-3 in dramatic walk-off fashion.

It all came down to the wire, with the game tied at three in the bottom of the seventh inning. That’s when Dylan Barrett stepped up to the plate and delivered a clutch sacrifice fly, bringing home the winning run and sending the Spartans into a frenzy.

But let’s backtrack a bit. Lakeview drew first blood in the third inning, but Boardman quickly responded, with Ryan Conti’s single in the fourth knotting things up at one apiece. Then, Grayson Eicher’s single in the fifth gave the Spartans a 3-1 lead, but Lakeview battled back, tying it up in the sixth with some timely doubles.

Ryan Neifer came in clutch on the mound for Boardman, earning the win with a solid relief performance. Meanwhile, Brandon Toot took the loss for Lakeview, despite a valiant effort on the hill.

Eicher was the offensive standout for Boardman, driving in two crucial runs, while Conti and Landon Whippo each collected two hits. The Spartans also made their presence felt on the basepaths, racking up four stolen bases and turning two key double plays in the field.

Lakeview put up a fight with 11 hits, with players like Andrew Brown and Jake Nicholas leading the charge. But in the end, it was Boardman’s day to shine, thanks to some late-game heroics and a gritty team effort that secured the thrilling victory.

BOARDMAN PICKING UP THE PACE

/in /by

WARREN, OH- At Warren G. Harding High School this Tuesday, the Boardman Spartans baseball team put on a show, steamrolling over the opposition in a dominant 11-0 win. The victory evens their league record to 2-2, a much-needed boost as they hit the midpoint of the season.

From the first pitch, it was clear the Spartans were there to play hard. They exploded out of the gates with a massive six-run first inning that set the tone for the rest of the game. Kaden Mayhew and Grayson Eicher were in fine form, each knocking out two hits and driving in a pair of runs. Their bats were hot, and Warren G. Harding just couldn’t find an answer to slow them down.

But the standout performance of the day came from Tyler Kirlik, who was simply unstoppable on the mound. Kirlik pitched a complete game shutout, a feat that’s as demanding as it is impressive. He scattered just five hits across the game and racked up four strikeouts, keeping the Harding batters guessing all day long. And as if his pitching prowess wasn’t enough, Kirlik also chipped in with two RBIs, showing he’s just as handy with a bat as he is with a baseball.

Despite several opportunities, Harding couldn’t capitalize, partly due to their own missteps—three errors on the day didn’t help their cause. Meanwhile, Boardman played some clean and sharp baseball, not giving anything away.

Looking ahead, the Spartans are set to carry this momentum into Thursday’s game, which promises to be a special one. It’s Senior Night against Lakeview, and the team will be looking to make it memorable for all the right reasons. With a 5 p.m. start, it’s shaping up to be an exciting evening.

By Matt Maher


BOARDMAN, OH – The rain may not have stayed away but it did take its time to show up and in that time the Canfield Cardinals got to work and put up 5 runs and kept the host Spartans off the board for 5 ½ innings.

 

The Cardinals got off to a quick start with Tanner Stricko leading off the game with a single to shallow right field. With Stricko aboard, Michael Patellis was able to hit one to short stop where it was bobbled and allowed Patellis to get on board and Stricko to come home. 3 more runs were scored in this inning with 1 being brought in with another error and the final two coming in from a beautiful 2-run double from Bobby Levonyak. 

 

Both teams continued to play an even game with few hits given up from both Collin Resetar from Boardman and Anthony Groner from Canfield. Groner played all 5 completed innings with 0 Runs, 3 BB, 1 Hit and 7 Ks. Resetar Went 6 Innings with 4 Ks, 8 Hits and 5 Runs with the 5th coming in the 5th thanks to an RBI single from David Murphy who put one shallow into left field and allowed Patellis to go home.

 

These two teams played a tough game and Boardman had several opportunities to score leaving 7+ runners aboard, which was thanks to some clutch pitching from Groner. The game was expected to go 7 innings but Mother Nature had other plans and brought a thunder storm that stopped and eventually canceled the remaining innings. Both teams are scheduled to rematch each other tomorrow (April 10th) at 5PM at Canfield weather permitting.
