QUAKERS STACK THIRD STRAIGHT WIN

/in /by

CARROLLTON, OH- The Quakers ended their conference schedule tonight by getting the sweep over Carrollton to finish with a winning record in the EBC at 7-5.

Senior starting pitcher Adam Wilson went the distance for the Quakers earning his 4th EBC win as he went 7 innings and gave up 1 earned run while racking up 11 strikeouts. Wilson was only half of the story for the victorious Quakers however as Salem went into their last at-bat trailing by 1 run only to grind out 2 runs to get the victory.

Salem started the scoring back in the first inning when senior Turner Johnson scores on a base hit by sophomore Lane Rhodes to give the Quakes a 1 run lead.

Salem would strike for 2 more in the 4th inning on the strength of 3 doubles by Rhodes, Wilson, and freshman Blaize Exline.

Salem would give up their comfy 3 run lead in the 4th when Carrollton struck for 4 runs to take the lead on the strength of a bunt base hit, a throwing error, a triple, and a fielders choice.

After stranding a runner on 1st and 3rd in the 6th, the Quakers fight back in the 7th. After Johnson grounded out to first to start the inning, senior Bryce Owen reaches on a swinging bunt to third that he legged out. Junior Ricky Enlow then doubled into the right centerfield gap to give Salem runners at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. After Wilson struck out looking the Quakers were down to their last out trailing by a run. That would quickly change as junior Joey Watson jumped on the first pitch he saw and ripped a base hit to right field passed the second basemen scoring the tying and go-ahead runs. Wilson did the rest in the mound in the bottom of the 7th setting down the Warriors 1,2,3.

The Quakers improve to 12-11 on the year and 7-5 on the season. Salem will play their 4th game in as many days tomorrow when they travel to Eastwood Field in Niles to take on Western Reserve.

PATIENCE, DEFENSE DIGS OUT DUKES OVER SALEM

/in /by

LEXINGTON TWP, OH- A day after losing 14-1, the Quaker baseball team showed a lot of grit and mental toughness in Marlington Thursday night losing a heart breaker 3-2.

Senior starter Adam Wilson went the distance for the Quakers giving up 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 5.

It was a scoreless game until the 4th when Salem loaded the bases with nobody out. Wilson grounded into a double play but the run did score from 3rd to make it one nothing. When the next pitch strayed a little too far away from the catcher, junior Ricky Enlow scores from third on a heads up read and slide. The Quakers would end the inning with an out at the plate when coach DeBarr tried to steal home with Junior Joey Watson.

That wouldn’t be the last play at the plate during the game as the Quakers made the last out of inning at home in the next two innings when Turner Johnson was thrown out trying to score from second on a base got to right field and Ricky Enlow was thrown out to end the sixth trying to score from third on a tag up off of a fly ball from Freshman Blaize Exline to right field.

Neither team did anything in their next at-bats which set the stage for 7th inning dramatics from the Dukes. After a leadoff double got the winning run in scoring position, Wilson walked the next batter and the following at-bat saw senior center fielder Turner Johnson drop a tough fly ball that loaded the bases. With the infield drawn in, Wilson got a strikeout for the first out of the inning. Then after falling behind 3-1 in the following at-bat, Wilson walked in the winning run for the Dukes.

The Quakers drop to 9-11 on the season and 5-5 in the EBC. They will take the weekend off before returning to action Monday at home against Beaver Local for senior night. First pitch is set for 5 pm.

LADY QUAKERS “SOLDI” AGAINST MINERVA

/in /by

MINERVA, OH- After six innings the Minerva Lions held a 5-4 lead and that’s when it began to rain. Thanks to the Tennessee trip the Quakers consider any rain up north here to be nothing but a sprinkle. Elly Exline began the 7th inning with a base hit. Taylor Thorpe moved her to second on a sac bunt she almost beat out. Then Hayden Carner and Meg Rossero hit back to back rbi doubles to give Salem the 6-5 lead. With two outs Rylie “soldi” Troy hit another double to left center for what would end up the game winner.

With Salem leading 7-5, rainy weather and the top of the lineup coming up for the Lions it was time for the Quakers to do whatever they had to – to win a close conference game. The leadoff hitter Brunner who already had two doubles in the game – hit a shot towards left field. Rylie Troy made an all-out running then diving catch to snag the shot before it could touch the grass. Taylor Thorpe then struck out the #2 batter for the fourth time before Minerva would put three straight two-out hits together and tighten the score to 7-6 with two runners on. Hannah Kelm (2B) secured the final out on pop up.

Elly Exline had three hits in the game and scored three runs. On Hayden Carner’s rbi double she broke the single-season rbi record and now has 24. Bailee Thorn led off the game with a double. Brooke Veglia extended her hitting streak to 11 games. Meg Rossero singled and doubled with 2 rbi. Taylor Thorpe and Rylie Troy each had two hits. Madison Markovich and Jessica Slocum each singled. Each position in the lineup had at least one hit – that’s teamwork.

Bailee Thorn chased down a blooped ball and made a great throwback to 1st for a double play. Elly Exline continued to play error-free ball from 3rd on three chances. Taylor Thorpe broke the single-season wins record with her 13th win and struck out 8 in the game.

If you’ve read this far you deserve to know that soldi means “money” in Italian. Rylie has been “money”’ the past few evenings.

The Lady Quakers are back in action Monday at home against Marlington.

CANTON SOUTH CURLS LADY QUAKERS

/in /by

SALEM, OH- Elly Exline singled twice, stole a base and scored two of the four Quakers runs in the loss to the Wildcats. Hayden Carner doubled twice and ended the evening with two more rbi. She now has 22 on the season and is one away from tying the single-season Quaker record for rbi. Fellow teammate Taylor Thorpe now has 19 rbi with her sac fly in the 7th scoring Jenna McClish. Brooke Veglia blooped a single to extend her hitting streak to 9 games. As Brooke heats up in the 6th position in the lineup, one spot in front of her is Meg Rossero who had another two-hit game and is poised to stay hot. The freshmen duo of Jenna McClish and Rylie Troy each made an impact with a hit as well as scoring a run. Rylie Troy and Meg Rossero also stole a base.

The defensive gem of the game was turned in by catcher Hayden Carner on a perfectly placed bunt from Canton South. As the ball rolled down the first base line Hayden took control and sacrificed her body to make one heck of a nice off-balance throw for a big time out. This season Hayden has taken over the pitch calling and has done a superb job. The things great catchers do – don’t always end up in the press but those that watch the game know that Carner is a beast. The pitching staff has 181 ks this season and only one batter has reached on a drop third strike and that was only because there was a runner at third and Hayden opted to allow it. Only 6 stolen bases by our opponents this season. Hats off (or helmet) to Miss Carner for leading behind the dish this season.

Taylor Thorpe & Hayden Carner struck out 12 batters.

Salem is home vs Howland on Wednesday.

SALEM, MR. WILSON MENACE MINERVA

/in /by

MINERVA, OH- Senior southpaw continued his dominant season on the mound Wednesday as he got his 3rd EBC win of the year going 7 innings, giving up 1 run on 7 hits and striking 7 Minerva batters in a 4-1 victory.

After giving up a run in the first inning on a balk call with a runner on third base, Eastern Gateway commit Wilson went the rest of the way without giving up another and leading the Quakers to the sweep over Minerva and the 5th conference win on the season for Salem.

The Quaker offense struck back in the bottom of the first on an RBI single by freshman Darius Beck and an error on the third basemen to give the Quakers a lead they would never relinquish.

That would be all the scoring in the game until the 6th inning when Sophomore second baseman Nick Coletta led off the inning with a double down the line and would later score on junior Dylan Sinkovich’s RBI single. The Quakers would add another insurance run in the seventh on a sac fly by freshman Blaise Exline scoring sophomore Lane Rhodes.

Salem evened their record to 8-8 on the year, 5-3 in the EBC and are back in action Friday night at Ray Reisbeck Field against United.

SALEM FALLS SHORT AGAINST LADY WARRIORS

/in /by

SALEM, OH- The Quakers saw their 7 game winning streak snapped so its time to start another one as soon as Mother Nature allows. On a wet evening, the Lady Quakers continued their streak of having more hits than the opposition (7-6) and striking out less (5-4). Every game this season they have done so on both fronts.

Meg Rossero delivered a smoking line drive RBI single in the fifth for the lone run. Bailee Thorn singled twice to extend her hitting streak to 10 games and Taylor Thorpe walked twice and singled to take her streak to 9 games.

Brooke Veglia had a hard hit ground ball single up the middle. Hannah Kelm took a single down left field and Hayden Carner had the other Quaker hit.

The Salem offense stranded 10 runners in the game but did get two sac bunts down.

Jordan Anderson had three hits for WB including a home run with 3 rbi in the game.

The defense made a nice double play on a bunt pop up towards the mound that fell. With the ball in the air, the runner at first froze. Taylor Thorpe threw to first for one out and Brooke Veglia alertly pivoted and fired to two where Bailee Thorn applied the tag for another Quaker double play to end the 6th.

RHODES, SALEM BLANK MINERVA

/in /by

SALEM, OH- Despite having a stellar season on the mound for Sophomore pitcher Lane Rhodes, boasting a 1.4 ERA and 27 strikeouts, the Quakers had failed to give the right-hander any run support in any of his 5 starts; until Tuesday.

After a 1, 2, 3 inning for Rhodes and the Salem defense, the Quakers erupted for 5 runs in the bottom of the frame giving Rhodes all the run support he would need to finally earn his first win as a varsity starter. Salem would add 2 more in the second, 2 in the fourth and 1 in the fifth capped off with an at-bat by who else but Lane Rhodes.

The Quaker offense scored 10 runs on 15 hits and saw 4 players with multi-hit games. Rhodes led the way at the plate as well with 3 hits, including 1 double and 3 RBI’s. Yet another sophomore Nick Coletta had 3 hits of his own to match his 3 RBI’s. Junior Joey Watson and senior Adam Wilson had 2 hits each hitting run-scoring doubles.

The Quakers remain undefeated at home running their record at The Ray (Ray Reisbeck Field) to 5-0. Salem is now 7-8 overall and 4-3 in the EBC. They will be back in action on Wednesday as they travel to Minerva for an EBC rematch against the Lions. First pitch is set for 5 pm.
