LADY QUAKERS BREAK RECORDS AGAINST CARROLLTON

/in /by

CARROLLTON, OH- On February 23rd, 2018 on the first day of practice following tryouts, the Lady Quakers sat down for a chat at home plate in the Salem Community Center. A goal was set to break the school record for wins in a season. A paper chain was made with 15 links and each one would be ripped off to countdown the record. The 2018 season came and passed and Salem ended the season at 13 wins, one shy of tying the record and 2 shy of beating it. So, two links remained and were carried with coaches until the 2019 Lady Quakers got within the two wins. With the old chain brought back out the last link was ripped by each senior with today’s 7-3 win at Carrollton and consider it Mission Accomplished! The old record of 14 wins held since 1993. In fact, this season is the first that Salem has had a winning record in over 20 years. The Lady Quakers enjoyed a meal together to celebrate after the game.

Elly Exline singled with one out in the top of the 1st inning. That hit was her 40th and it broke the single-season record. Elly would add two more hits and end the season at a remarkable 42. Taylor Thorpe would follow with a bunt single. Hayden Carner hit an RBI double down the left field line for her 26th  RBI on the season which is another school record. Meg Rossero loaded the bases with the 4 consecutive Quaker hit in the inning. With two outs Jessica Slocum slammed a two rbi single up the middle on the first pitch of her at-bat.

Bailee Thorn doubled and singled twice scoring two more runs. She has scored 33 runs which is a new record as well. Taylor Thorpe, Meg Rossero and Hayden Carner had two hits on the evening. With the three hits, Elly Exline broke the single-season batting average record of .476 set by Clara Janofa. Elly finishes the season at a .488 clip.

Senior Kennedy Grimes would score the 7th run to help secure the victory.

Taylor Thorpe won her 15th game of the season in the circle and struck out another 12 batters. Her record for strikeouts in a season is now 228.

Bailee Thorn made a nice play on a blooped ball at short and Brooke Veglia dug out a ball at her ankles on an errant throw at 1st to limit any potential rally from the Warriors.

LISBON’S SENSATIONAL YEAR COMES TO AN END AGAINST EAST CANTON

/in /by

NORTH JACKSON, OH- It was a start that nobody saw coming.  The East Canton Hornets stung the Lisbon Lady Blue Devils right out of the gates on Wednesday afternoon when they scored five runs in the top of the first inning and eventually settled on a 7-1 final.

East Canton fired up the offense in the first inning, when Alyssa Wahl singled on the first pitch of the at-bat, scoring the first two runs.  Simons would single to right field to make it 3-0, and Reagan Mason would follow up in the next at-bat with a 2-RBI single to right field and a comfortable 5-0 lead.

Marisa Hall earned the win for East Canton Hornets Varsity. She allowed six hits and one run over seven innings, striking out four.  The Lady Blue Devils were able to get under the skin of Hall a few times, but could only cash in on the Autumn Oehlstrom double in the third.  Lisbon left 9 runners on base during the District Semi-Final.

Emma Thompson took the loss for Lisbon. She lasted two innings, allowing six hits and five runs while striking out one and walking one.  Mya Emmerling pitched in relief and was able to hold the Hornets to two runs the rest of the way while striking out 6 and walking none.

Lisbon tallied six hits on the day. Thompson and Autumn Oehlstrom each collected multiple hits for the Lady Devils. Oehlstrom and Thompson each collected two hits to lead the team.

East Canton Hornets Varsity racked up 14 hits. Mason, Mason, Wahl, and Betz each had multiple hits for East Canton Hornets Varsity.  The Lady Hornets will take on McDonald for the District Championship.

 

-GAME NOTES:

*The wind was blowing strong from centerfield throughout the game toward the plate.  Limiting the power of the Lisbon bats once the ball was in the air.

*Autumn Oehlstrom went out her way delivering a 2-3 performance with a walk, an RBI and both hits being doubles.  She also had an incredible play defensively from center field.  She threw out a runner tagging from third base on a fly ball no more than 5 feet away from the fence.  Oehlstrom struck down the runner by nearly half the baseline with a laser on the fly to the catcher to apply the tag.  One of the best defensive plays we’ve ever seen.

*Freshman slugger Justyce Vrable came through with a double that helped spark the Devils for a bit of a rally in the third.  Oehlstrom, McKenna Dailey and Emma Thompson were the only other Lady Devils with hits.  Mya Emmerling had two walks.

*The Lady Devils finish their season 20-3 with an EOAC Championship alongside a Sectional title.
