MCDONALD SWEEPS THEIR SUNDAY SLATE

By Matt Maher


POLAND, OH – The Blue Devils showed off their skill Sunday night when they took down the mighty Bulldogs 7-1. Both teams showed some stellar pitching early but it would be O’Brien for McDonald who would stand the test of time and throw the impressive complete game win!

 

Poland went with Olivia Horn in the circle for this one and through the first 3 she threw a shutout, racking up 4 Ks in the process but things changed in the 4th and she gave up 4 runs off of 3 hits, 3 walks and a sac fly and allowed the entire order to go through once. Horn would calm down come the 5th with only 2 runs given up with another strikeout earned and the 5th would only see 1 more run come in. Addison Draa finished the game with 1 hit and 1K in 1IP. The Bulldogs offense couldn’t score until the 5th when Mary Brant brought home Leanna Boccieri. 

 

The Blue Devils started O’Brien who threw a gem of a game. Only 1 run allowed off of just 5 hits and 14Ks were the highlights for her evening. Her offense scored an impressive 7 runs with 4 coming in the 4th off of an RBI double, sac fly, and a 2-run RBI single. The 5th came from a beautiful blast from Evan’s who brought in 2 with a double and the 7th came in the 6th thanks to an O’Leary RBI single. 

 

The Blue Devils showed everyone that they shouldn’t be taken lightly and can do damage in and out of the MVAC. Poland played well but their pitching just couldn’t keep up with the McDonald bats in the end. McDonald (2-0) will stay on the road when they travel to Springfield on April 9th at 5:00PM while Poland (3-2) will be in Girard on April 9th to take on the Indians at 5:00PM.

POLAND, OH – After almost a week off, the Bulldogs and the Leopards took to the diamond to finally play some softball! While the feeling of being out on the field must have been great, the feelings in both dugouts weren’t the same. The Leopards, who were 2-0 going into this game, dropped this one 13-0 against the extremely happy Bulldogs who took out some frustrations after a disappointing 11-1 loss the other day.

 

Liberty struggled to get runners on base with their first hit coming late in the 2nd inning with a single to left by Meadow Smith. The Leopards managed to muster another hit against the Bulldogs as well as a walk. On the mound Chloe Fleps went 2 Innings with 2 fly outs, 3 groundouts and a line out but struggled giving up 8 runs off of 5 hits. Rachael Stromeyer came in for relief in the 3rd inning and finished out the game with 1 K and 5 runs off of 7 Hits.

 

The Bulldogs, on the other hand, looked ready to roll. With 6 runs off 11 batters who collectively found 3 hits in the 1st. The Bulldogs found their next 2 in the 2nd off of 2 hits with 3 more runs coming in the 3rd off of 3 hits and finally 2 more runs in the 4th with the 3 more hits. Olivia Horn started in the circle and struck out 4, walked 1 and gave up 1 hit and 0 runs in 2IP. Addison Draa came in for relief in the 3rd and shined. Striking out 4, and only giving up 1 hit in 3IP, she had no problem taking control of this game.

 

The Leopards (2-1)  play again at 3PM on Sunday April 7th when they take on MVAC opponent the McDonald Blue Devils (0-0).

POLAND UNLOADS ON THE DRAGONS

/in /by

By Matt Maher


POLAND, OH – If you wanted to watch baseball on Friday night you certainly would’ve seen a game in Poland but if you wanted to see a good game well you probably went elsewhere on YSN (unless your a Bulldogs super fan of course) because Poland absolutely obliterated their competition, routing Niles 31-2 after 5 innings to complete the season series sweep against the Red Dragons.

 

Poland showed poise on the mound from the onset. With Matt Paparodis on the bump to start he sat down the first 3 Red Dragons with a groundout and then back to back swinging K’s. The Bottom of the inning proved to be even better with a 7 run outburst that would make anyone’s jaw drop. Starting off with a single and a double Paparodis was able to get on via a fielding error and bring in the first run, from there it was an RBI double from Hayes, an RBI single from Elia, 2 Wild Pitches that brought home 2 more runs and an RBI double from Livosky. 

 

Niles would get 1 of those runs back in the 2nd with Landon Turner getting a leadoff double and then Brady Court batting him home with an RBI single. Paparodis struck out 3 more batters with 2 of them coming between the leadoff hit and the RBI and the third coming after a batter hit. 

 

Poland kept their foot on the gas and casually tacked on 8 more runs with an RBI single from Thompson, an RBI walk from Chambers, an RBI single from Jenkins, an RBI double from Boccieri, a 2-run RBI double from Paparodis and another RBI single from Thompson. Niles starting pitcher was able to strikeout Zach Livosky in the middle of the free for all Poland found themselves basking in. 

 

Niles found their 2nd and final run of the evening in the 3rd. After Hrosar led things off with a double, AJ Yost would hit a single that would prove to be difficult to field by the right fielder Livosky who would end up throwing the ball away and allowing Hrosar to score on the error. Another 2 K’s were earned by Paparodis in this half of the inning as well. 

 

Poland added another 6 runs to the board thanks in part to an RBI double from Boccieri, 2 runs scoring off of an error on the infield, a groundout from Elia that allowed a run to score and a 2-run RBI single from Livosky. The Bulldogs were swinging at everything within eyesite of the strike zone and couldn’t seem to miss and that continued to be the case in the 4th. 

 

Joseph Zuccaro came in for relief of Paparodis who finished the evening with 3 IP, 2 ER, 4 H and 7 Ks. Zuccaro would 1-up his teammate by striking out the side all with looking strikes to Finish off each batter. 

 

Some say lightning doesn’t strike twice but for Poland, it strikes 4 times with monsterous booms of thunder to follow and this inning brought the biggest boom because the Bulldogs capped off this game with 10 more runs! With the bases loaded, ELia brought in the first run with a single, Kopkash, in for THompson, earned his first RBI of the evening with a single, Malochi Sweeney, in for Livosky, got aboard via a fielding error that allowed 2 more to score, a wild pitch brought in the next run, a Zuccaro single brought in a run, a Hayes double score 2 more and finally an Elia double brought in run number ten. 

 

Poland has made a very convincing case for first place in the Northeast 8 this season, outscoring Niles 44-5 over 2 games. With numbers like that, it’s going to be very tough to beat Poland this season. Niles (0-3, 0-2) will be back home on Friday April 5th when they host Newton Falls at 5:00PM and Poland (3-0, 2-0) will hit the road and take on Edgewood on Tuesday April 2nd at 4:30PM.
