QUAKERS WIN ON BACK TO BACK DAYS

/in /by

SALEM OH-  The Devils went down to Salem, looking for a game to steal. But it was the Quakes doing most of the stealing with 6 stolen bases on the evening. Salem is now 4-4 on the young season & will take their talents down south. They will play 4 games at the Ripken Experience in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee this coming week.

Rylie Troy earned her sweet tea down south as she struck out 11 batters and allowed just 1 run. She struck out 3 of the last 4 batters to earn her 4th win on the season. The Quakers played error free ball on defense & Rylie assisted on all four of her chances in the circle.

Channing Toy had 3 hits including a double with an RBI & a run scored. Chase Toy had two hits, an RBI and scored. Mack Zumbar had two hits including a double. Bella Brant, Rylie Troy & Jenna McClish all had singles. Madalyn Workman stole 2 bases.

Going into the bottom of the 6th inning the focus was on adding an insurance run to the 5-1 lead that Salem was nursing. It was “State Farm” time as Kylie Skinner stepped to the plate & drilled a double to left center gap. Next batter Sophie Maniscalco pushed her to third on a perfect sac bunt. Kylie scored the important insurance run on a single from Channing Toy.

SALEM COMPLETES THE COMEBACK

/in /by

SALEM OH- The Salem Quakers after a challenging start to their season were looking to flip the script and get back to their winning ways Tuesday as they hosted Carrollton.

Quakers starting pitcher Gavin Wilms was all business as he turned in a fantastic performance going 6 innings striking out 9 in the 3-2 victory over Carrollton.  The Warriors wasted little time as they struck for 2 runs on an opposite field home run in the bottom of the 1st.  Wilms provided his teammates the opportunity to get back into the game, holding Carrollton scoreless the rest of the way.

The Quakers offense would respond in the bottom of the 5th as Brock Young started the rally with a lead off single.  Donnie Oesch would follow with an RBI double trimming the deficit in half 2-1.  Jackson Johnson would come through with a clutch 2 out RBI single plating Oesch and knotting the game at 2-2.  Salem would complete the comeback in the bottom half of the 6th as Carson Rhodes came through with the go ahead RBI providing the much needed 3-2 victory.

Salem (2-3) next takes their show to Myrtle Beach for three games, the first game on the trip is slated for 12pm on Thursday.

QUAKERS HIT THE LIGHTS OUT OF LISBON

/in /by

Freshmen leadoff hitter Channing Toy went 4-4 at the plate including 2 doubles, 3 RBI, 3 runs scored & 2 Stolen bases. If that wasn’t enough to warrant the game ball, she called a great game as well behind the dish with some huge blocks. Not to mention out running a base runner down the first base line.

Rylie Troy pitched a great game in the circle allowing just 3 hits & a run for the win. She struck out 4 blue devils & defended the mound well with 4 assist from the 1 position.

Mack Zumbar got the Quakes on the board with a two out triple scoring Channing Toy & Rylie Troy in the 1st inning. Lauryn Barton had two hits & scored twice. Rylie Troy doubled & singled. Chase Toy, Sami Gainor, Sophie Maniscalco & Jenna McClish all had hits. Hanna Gaither scored a run.

Stolen bases: Channing Toy 2, Lauryn Barton, Rylie Troy, Jenna McClish, Kylie Skinner & Chase Toy. The Salem Thieves were 7 for 7 on the evening.

First base sometimes doesn’t get the credit deserved, but Mack Zzzzumbar played great with some nice stretches being involved in 7 of the 15 outs in the game. Sophie “Jitterbug” Maniscalco secured two nice catches at 2nd.

Krysten Reckner scored the Lisbon run. This may well be the last time we’ve had the opportunity to compete against senior Justyce Vrable at David Anderson. What a pleasure it was to witness one of the area’s greatest athletes.

Tomorrow Salem will host their second straight devil team as Western Reserve visits Southeast Elementary for a 5pm first pitch.

SALEM TENNIS COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH KEITH PARKER

/in /by

SALEM OH- Salem tennis is off to a strong start to the season. When head coach Keith Parker took over last season, no one on the team had played competitive tennis. Now here they are with a week full of sweeps a year later. The Quakers turnaround has been dramatic, and coach Parker credits it to the hard work the team has put in in the off season.  It is hard to get better during the season, so a lot of their growth from year one to year two is behind the scenes work.

Coach Parker is also actively working to grow the program, and the sport of tennis in the community. They’ve had skills clinics in the winter with great turn out. Coming from a tennis hot bed in Indians, coach Parker knows what a great tennis community looks like.

Coach Parker took the time to come on YSN’s Running Point to talk about his squad this year. He gave Anthony Hartwig, and Ty Bartell and introduction to the tennis world. They also talk about team culture, growth of the sport, and much more. Check out episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Keith Parker.

SALEM OH- Troy was a Greek city that was destined to fall, but Rylie Troy is a pitcher for Salem who is destined to stand tall. Troy starts her senior year at Salem with high expectations. Those lofty goals are for herself, and for her team. It wasn’t too long ago Salem softball was extremely successful. Now Rylie leads a group of seniors determined to get the program back to its peak.

Troy has had a fantastic start to the season so far, she already has a two hit shutout, and a walk off RBI to her credit. In two separate games Troy was a major key in the Quakers victory. Two wins down, and Troy and the Quakers would love to see it get to 15. That’s the program record.

Rylie took the time to come on to YSN’s Running Point to discuss her journey. It was a fantastic conversation with Ty Bartell, and Anthony Hartwig. They discuss who some of her biggest role models are, her favorite memories with Salem softball, and so much more. Don’t miss a singe second of the latest Salem softball player profile.
