QUAKERS DOMINATE FOR SECOND WIN OF THE DAY

/in /by

SALEM OH-  Wow … Senior Rylie Troy toed the rubber in both wins today, pitching 15 total innings. Despite a very warm day Miss Troy never let the opponents see her sweat. She struck out 11 Wildcats in this game & got stronger as the game went on including 6 K’s in the last three innings. All three outs in the 7th inning came via the strikeout. Well done young lady!

This game looked like another low scoring close game until Salem broke it open with an 8 run 5th inning to run their season record to 8-9. The Quakers stole 7 bases to impose their will on the scoreboard.

Channing Toy had two singled & stole two bases. Lauryn Barton & Bella Brant also had hits. Chase Toy walked twice, scored twice & stole 3 bases.

Sophie Maniscalco laid down another important sac bunt. Scoring in the game as well were Sami Gainor, Hanna Gaither, Rylie Troy, Jenna McClish,  Madalynn Workman & Mack Zumbar.

Bella Brant & Channing Toy each caught a game for Salem today & again did very well. Salem out stole today’s competition 12-4.

Rylie Troy has pitched 30 innings in the past 4 days & will get two days rest before senior night on Tuesday at Southeast Elementary vs Canton South. Salem has played 17 games which is the highest amount in the area during this crazy spring weather. Hats off to the athletic office & maintenance department.

SALEM TAKES ONE FROM INDIANS IN DRAMATIC FASHION

/in /by

SALEM OH- Rylie Troy entered the game to pitch in the second inning with the bases loaded & no outs. She would finish the inning allowing no runs. As clutch as that was she went the rest of the way in the circle & struck out the last two batters in the 9th with two on. This set up the bottom of the ninth heroics. Channing Toy led off the inning by failing to yield to an inside pitch & taking her base when it clipped her. She then stole second & with one out Rylie Troy didn’t budge as well and she got clunked. Both moved up on a passed ball. Girard decided to intentionally walk Chase Toy before Mack Zumbar delivered an infield walk off single for the win!

Mack had 3 hits in the game & 3 RBI. Lauryn Barton had two hits and scored twice. Channing Toy showed why she bats leadoff as she got on base in all five at bats with a single. She would score 3 times. Girard walked 6 batters in the game with the Toy sisters working their at bats with 3 walks each. Jenna McClish had a hit.

Lauryn Barton & Channing Toy each stole 2 bases. Salem stole 5 bases in the game. Bella Brant & Jenna McClish each put down sac bunts as Salem played some small ball & ran the bases aggressively.

It was the 7th win of the season for Rylie in the circle. With the win the Quakers have matched last sesson’s win total with a whole lot of softball left in the 2022 campaign.

SALEM REMAINS STANDING IN PITCHER’S DUEL

/in /by

The 1hr 7 min game stood at 0-0 entering the 7th inning. Leading off in the top of the 7th for Salem was cleanup hitter Chase Toy. The game was a pitcher’s duel for the ages to that point. Chase battled to a full count as she saw a mix of changeups and pin point accuracy from senior Olivia Keller. Chase took the 3-2 pitch over the deepest part of the field for the game winning dinger.Salem’s ace hurler Rylie Troy took a no hitter into the 7th inning. She faced just one batter over the minimum to that point. In the game she struck out 8 while walking just one Beaver. To start the bottom of the 7th Keller dropped a base hit to right field. The #3 hitter Tori Druschel hit a shot to left center at the base of the fence. The ball was relayed in and threw behind the runner advancing past third base. Third basemen Bella Brant took the throw and rapidly threw home as Channing Toy applied the tag for the out. With a runner at 3rd and one out Rylie got the #4 hitter to pop out to Mack at first then struck out the #5 hitter with Channing Toy holding on to the fouled strike to end the game. Rylie is getting stronger as the season marches on.

Bella Brant, Mack Zumbar and Lauryn Barton each singled. Channing Toy doubled to left center in the 6th but was stranded. Lauryn Barton & Sophie Maniscalco each had a sac bunt. Not sure if there’s a full moon but Salem didn’t steal a base in a game.

In addition to her 8 strikeouts, Troy fielded 4 chances in the circle for outs including a difficult tapper down 1st base line. Lauryn Barton made a nice running catch in the right center gap. Channing Toy threw out a runner trying to advance on an overthrow.

Salem is now 6-9 on the season. Tomorrow they host Girard at 1pm & Struthers at 3pm. JV is at Girard tomorrow.

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.
