WILDCATS BRING OUT THEIR CLAWS

By Michael Wolfgang 


STRUTHERS, OHIO – In a matchup in which both teams came in trying to gain some traction, Struthers got the best of Cardinal Mooney Saturday afternoon as they snatched a 4-0 victory.

The Struthers offense came out looking to take control early and they did just that. Michael Scavnicky singled an 0-2 pitch that scored two runs, giving Struthers the early 2-0 lead. Olindo Pezzone had himself an all around day in the diamond. First, Pezzone had an RBI which continued to a two run inning for the Wildcats in the bottom of the third.

However, the highlight for Pezzone was his complete game shutout, allowing only three hits, four strikeouts, and of course the zero runs allowed to come out as the winning pitcher. Anthony Pastella led the offense for Struthers, going 2-for-3 in the box and two hits.

Struthers will get back to work Tuesday night in Jefferson to take on one of their NE8 Conference foes and try to make it three wins in a row. First pitch is all set for 5:00 p.m.

WILDCATS PULL OFF FANTASTIC COMEBACK

By Eric Hughes 

Struthers comes back to beat Girard, 7-6, after trailing 6-3 going into the bottom of the 7th inning the Wildcats never said die.

Struthers went into the second inning with a 2-0 lead, but Girard catching fire on offense and a few Struthers errors made the Cats fall behind early.

The bottom of the 7th started with Chance Laczko and Alec Gryzb reaching base on errors, then Grady Moore being walked to load the bases.  Michael Scavnicky then drove one to right field to bring 3 runners home to tie it 6-6, followed by Anthony Pastella driving one to right field also to bring Scavnicky home for the win.

Chance Laczko went 2-4 and was called into relieve on the mound in the 5th inning, only giving up a couple of hits and one run, which was enough for Struthers’ offense to work with late.

Struthers returns to the field on Wednesday as they take on another NE8 foe Lakeview.  Girard will have the rest of spring break off before they meet up with Hubbard at home on Monday.

CANFIELD OH- South Range is entering the final week of the regular season wanting confidence going in to tournaments. There was a big opportunity to grab a win against one of the top teams in the NE8.  Struthers came to town fresh off a 51-8 win in their last game.  The last time these two teams played, it was a 5 point victory for the Wildcats in the Fieldhouse.  However the Raiders have had home success of their own inside the confines of South Range high school.  They got another huge home win as they held on late for the 42-41 victory.  It was a great way for the Raiders to honor their two seniors Emma Cunningham and Taylor McClish.

Cunningham finished her last game inside the Thriller Done with a game-high 16 points to lead the way.  McClish also had a good senior night on the floor with 8 points.  Chloe Neider led Struthers with 10 points and she hit a buzzer beater three from way beyond the arc to make it 42-41.

South Range finishes their league schedule with the win, but has two non conference tune ups before their tournament road begins.  They will travel to Western Reserve on Thursday.  The Wildcats have to wait until their first tournament game to get the loss out of their system. They’ll host Alliance on Wednesday February 15th.
