GETTING IT DUN

/in /by

When Greg Dunham was told that the University of Buffalo would be canceling their baseball program after his freshman year, he didn’t panic.  In fact, he knew exactly where he wanted to be.  Closer to family, closer to friends, and closer to his hometown.  When he chose Youngstown State to transfer to, the area was elated to have one of their own hurling the pearl within driving distance.

The Salem resident and South Range High School graduate wasted no time proving his worth on the hill.  In his first year as a Penguin, Dunham made 12 starts which matched the team high.  Greg also pitched a team-best and career-high 67.1 innings which also ranked eighth in the Horizon League.  Making the most of his innings, Greg fanned 41 batters in 2018 while pitching six innings in eight of his starts.

In 2019, Greg looks to get things back on track and find his groove.  Dunham has appeared in five games thus far and is averaging 4.5 strikeouts per nine innings.  A Business Management major by choice, Dunham looks to get back to business this year and shine a light on his talent and work ethic down the stretch.  YSN’s General Manager Steve Leslie caught up with Greg before a recent road trip and sits down with him for this week’s Player Profile: GETTING IT DUN.

RAIDERS SINK CLIPPERS

/in /by

CANFIELD, OH– A solid, stingy defense and just enough offense enabled South Range to oust Columbiana 52-32 here Friday night.  The Raiders frustrated the Clippers attack all night long not allowing them to find any rhythm.

The defensive nature of the game was evident from the outset.  Both teams tenaciously challenged each other making offense difficult to execute.  It was the Raiders though who were able to open up a lead late in the first quarter and control the action the rest of the way.  Nick Matus had a strong start scoring 7 points giving the Raiders a 16-7 lead after one, and South Range took a 25-12 advantage into the locker room.

Columbiana kept the game within reach through three quarters getting as close as ten points with 3:20 to play in the third.  South Range led 37-25 heading to the final stanza before steadily pulling away.

 Chris Brooks led all scorers with 15.  Jaxon Andersen had 10 while Ben Irons, Dante Digaetano, and Matus chipped in with 7 apiece.  Sean Whitehead scored all of his 14 in the second half, and Matt Mazei netted 9 for the Clippers whose strong second half of the season ended with a 13-11 record.

South Range (17-6) head to Salem for a District semi-final against Canton Central Catholic Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Southeast once again started a quarter strong in the second, scoring the first 4 points and going up 18-8. Julia Gregory got the Raiders back in the game with a three from the corner. The rest of the quarter was a back and forth struggle, but the Raiders held the Leopards to just 5 more points. They trailed 23-19 at the break.

The third quarter is really when the Raiders had to feel like they had control. They kept clawing back into the game, and Bri Modic finally was able to get a couple of open looks at the hoop, one three-pointer went in as she got fouled, and she finished the rare 4 point play on the line. Southeast hit a three however to push their lead back to 5, and the Raiders saw all that momentum go away. They trailed by just 3 after the third quarter 35-32.

The Raiders kept cutting into the Southeast lead again and again in the 4th quarter but the Pirates kept answering and coming up with big-time shots. The Pirates also shot very well from the free throw line, which is how they sealed the win 55-50.

Izzy Lamparty finished with 20 points and a school record-tying 18 rebounds. Bri Modic was also in double figures with 12 points.
