GAVIN GIVES IT ALL

/in /by

SALEM OH- It’s been a trying season for the Salem baseball team. After the year got off to a start that no one wanted to see, they found fire and mounted a huge winning streak. Now, their goal is to carry as much momentum into the postseason as possible. Gavin Wilms is good at carrying large objects, and he’ll try to shoulder a big part of the team’s success going forward.

Wilms does a lot of great work on the mound for a Salem team who thrives on their pitching staff. When you see Gavin get the start, you just know that Salem is going to have an opportunity to win the game. That’s what Wilms does best, he keeps his team in games. And at the end of the day, that’s the first job of a starting pitcher. It goes beyond the flashy strikeout numbers, and no hitters, which Wilms is more than capable of doing. However, at his core he is simply a strong competitor that will do whatever it takes to help his team put their best foot forward.

Wilms currently carries the best ERA on the team with a clip of 1.17.  That’s on a pitching staff that has four pitchers with ERA’s under 3.  Safe to say Wilms and his partners are a tough puzzle to crack. For Gavin, having multiple arms that can hold their own takes a lot of pressure off of him to be perfect in every outing.

We got Gavin to join Running Point this week to tell us all about his baseball journey. He talks with Anthony Romo, Richie Juliano, and Anthony Hartwig about how his team turned the ship around, what his favorite things are about Salem and so much more. So sit down with a nice beverage and catch up with Salem baseball in their latest player profile.

SALEM BASEBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 2) WITH MIKE DEBARR

/in /by

SALEM OH-The Salem Quakers identity is dangerous! As a slow start to the season may have had some pump the brakes on The Quakes. However, for Coach Michael DeBarr, it was about finding Salem’s identity that was missing in the 1-3 start of the season. As we know, Salem has turned things around thanks in part to some phenomenal performance by the pitching staff on the mound. 

With guys like Gavin WIlms and Carson Rhodes, achieving feats such as 19 consecutive scoreless innings in the season, does not come without an infusion of confidence. That confidence is operating at high tide half way through the season. Catch the wave on this episode of Coaches Corner!

SALEM PUTS THE CHILL ON THE AVIATORS

/in /by

SALEM OH- It may have felt like the middle of February but the Quaker offense was red hot Wednesday night at Ray Reasbeck Field putting up ten runs to take down the Alliance Aviators in 6 innings and earn their 9th straight victory.After starting pitcher Carson Rhodes wriggled out of a first inning bases loaded jam without surrendering a run, the offense went to work. Blaize Exline led off the game with a base hit to left field. After stealing second base and advancing to third on a wild pitch, Darius Beck drove him home with a fielder’s choice to the shortstop.

The Quakers weren’t done though as with two outs, Gavin Wilms had a base hit, and then went first to third on a base hit from left hander Corey Riesen and would score on a base hit by Carson Rhodes to make it 2-0 good guys.

Exline would provide another jolt of offense in the second as he hit a laser beam home run over the left field fence to make it 3-0 Salem.

The Quakers would add 4 in the third inning on the strength of a another RBI single by Rhodes, a throwing error from the catcher that let Riesen score, an RBI double by Lance Bailey and a fielders choice by Cayden Burt that scored Brock Young making it 7-0 Salem.

That was plenty of support for Carson Rhodes as he threw all 6 innings punching out 8 Alliance batters allowing 3 hits and zero runs to earn his 4th win of the year.

The Quakers would walk it off in the 6th as Rhodes continued his impressive day with a 2 run single to right field to give him 3 RBI’s on the day. The game would come to an end on a Cayden Burt single to left field scoring Corey Riesen.

The Quakers are now 10-3 overall and 5-3 in the EBC. The Quakers will try and make it 10 in a row tomorrow as they will host Minerva with the first pitch set for 5 pm.
