Saturday was our playdate vs. Jamestown CC. We had a gorgeous day for two games.
We used four pitchers in game one, and six pitchers in game 2, and worked just about everyone into the lineup, scoring over 20 runs on the day.
The Hammer went to Erik Krohl. He had four hits in the two games and scored the winning run in a walkoff victory, taking out the catcher on a play at the plate.
Erik addressed off season workouts in his speech. He invited the freshmen for a lift with him, Kenny and Carmody.
The JUCO Claw went to fifth-year senior Joey Tingue. Joey struck out two in his inning of work against his former Junior College. Joey has seen a lot of adversity, working through a medical redshirt season a couple years ago and putting himself through college working three jobs. He spent four hours in the morning taking the State Trooper exam, them showed up for game two and dealt some strikes.
Joey spoke about never knowing when your last game will be and to enjoy the opportunity you have today.
Other solid performances were from ECC transfer Ricky Mendiola who talked the ball over the fence on a majestic homerun that scraped the back of the fence on the way down. Anthony Schiro threw out a pair of runners and picked one off first, in addition to a double and two sac bunts. The pitchers have enjoyed throwing to him, too.
Quinn Danehy roped a triple and had several good AB's. He's down 30 pounds from last year and has been working his tail off. Freshman RJ Spinella added two hits off the bench, and a steal of home. He's got to be the most improved player this fall.
Tommy Morris and Carl Wolf worked a quick couple innings.
We are done for the fall, and the off season begins tomorrow.
I'd like to give a shout out to former Blue Devils Brian Sheehan and Kyle Morris for helping with the between-game spread.
