SALEM SECURES TRIP TO SECTIONAL FINAL

/in /by

SALEM OH-

E 1 3
Back in 2019 young freshman Rylie Troy got the nickname “Soldi”, for the clutch catches she made in left field saving some key ball games. Soldi means “money” in Italian and Ry Ry was absolutely “money” on the evening. She struck out 15 batters including 13 in the first 5 innings with the only other two outs in that stretch being bunt attempts. Now I’d like to give a pat on the back of the pitcher caller but the same pitch was called on each of the 112 pitches Miss Troy threw on the evening, at different locations. She was absolutely dominating her locations with movement. The bigger the stage – the bigger the performance from Soldi. In striking out the last two batters in the game for the 6-3 win in the sectional round, it marked the 6 straight season played (no season last year) that Salem has advanced past the first round and played in the sectional finals.

Cleanup hitter Chase Toy doubled to the right-center gap for a clutch 2 out RBI in the third inning stretching the Quakes lead to 2-0. Jenna Bear McClish talked prior to the game about how much the seniors mean and playing the game for them. Well, Senior Hannah Kelm set the tone on the second pitch of the game roping a line drive single to left. With the score tightened to 4-3 after six innings, leadoff hitter Kelm began the top of the 7th inning with another single. Kelm and McClish each would score insurance runs with one of them on Senior Dorothy Moore’s clutch RBI single. That’s how these seniors roll.

Rylie Troy had two hits. Jenna McClish and Lauryn Barton had a hit a piece. Freshman Sami Gainor laid down a nice sac bunt and fellow freshman friend Laila Murray scored a run. Troy swiped two more bases giving her 22 on the season. Kelm 2 stolen bases, McClish stole one and freshman Avery Carr stole a base as well as scoring a run. Savannah Schaff also scored a run.

In the 6th inning rally for Streetsboro the “Deuces Wild” outfield of #22 Skinner, #12 McClish and #2 Barton came through. Kylie Skinner made a nice catch on a deep shot to left and Freshman Lo-Dawg Barton stayed with a towering fly to right with the sun blinding her at every squint. Love those visors. It gets lost sometimes when you’re doing your job but Freshman catcher Bella Brant did exceptional behind the dish especially with the movement on pitches. A total team victory with a loud dugout throughout the game.

Salem is at Canfield this Thursday for the sectional final game.
