5/7 SV vs. Butler |
|
SV came out with the win yesterday against Butler that was
solidified by Dave Coradi by hitting a two run homerun in
the 6th inning giving the Raiders a 7-5 victory. The win was
another fundamentally sound performance by the team with
offensive contributions from Jake Double hitting a triple,
Jay Condit who was a homerun away from from hitting for the
cycle, and John Batista with two singles to get the offense
started. Nick Kendrick pitched 5 and 2/3 innings and while
he issued a lot of walks to Butler, he was able to
successfully hold them off by recording strikeouts and
getting outs in key situations. Sam Bucci finished the game
not allowing any runs and shutting down the Butler offense. |

pithced an excellent game shutting down the Pine Richland
offense. Sam Bucci pitched the last inning not allowing any
runs. Offensively the raiders produced 8 runs with the help
of Dave Coradi going 4 for 4 and many others contributing in
key situations offensively. |

5/1 SV vs. Shaler |

The Raiders unfortunately came up short on Friday, losing
both games of the double header. The two teams played two
five inning games. The Raiders had a multitude of
opportunities, but lost 3-2 in the first game and 6-3 in the
second game. We received good pitching performances from Max
Vickerman, Blake Henderson, and Nick Kendrick. The Raiders
threatened a few times with runners in scoring position, but
could not drive home enough runs to solidify a win. We have
two games left in the season and look forward to finishing
with two more victories. |

contributed as they took advantage of the opportunity by
only recording one strike out as a team in the seven
innings. The Raiders were able to string multiple hits
together in most of the innings. Dave Coradi pitched a
complete game allowing 6 runs. |

was stopped due to rain. We were winning 7-0 in the bottom
of the third inning with bases loaded and 1 out. The offense
was very effective in scoring the seven runs, which was led
by a homerun by Matt Kloos. Matt Parnes pitched the three
innings and did an excellent job not allowing any runs. |

lead off double by Derrick Wood and good execution by Chris
Dorogy and Blake Henderson. We scored again in the 6th
inning from a collection of hits from Jay Condit, John
Batista, Zach Motyl, and Derrick Wood. As a team we played
an excellent game and game 100% effort until the last play
of the game which was a diving play attempt in center field
by Jay Condit, who made a great diving catch earlier in the
game. Nick Kendrick and Matt Kloos both had great pitching
performances on the mound by registering 9 strikeouts and
only 2 walks together. Great effort Raiders!

4/19 SV vs. Mt. Lebanon |
Mt. Lebanon it was more of the same with too many errors in
the field which allowed the opposition to prevail. Great
pitching performances from Chris Dorogy, Sam Bucci, and Zach
Motyl. This left us with a lot of frustration that will
hopefully be overcome as we begin the second half of the
season. Raiders lost 8-4.

|
4/17 SV vs. Butler |

errors and gave too many walks to recover from. Matt Parnes

to give a chance to win. Raiders lost 10-4.

Nick Kendrick pitched 4 innings striking out 9 Pine Richland

4/2 game vs. North Allegheny |
We struggled to
get a foothold after falling behind 3-0 after the first
inning. NA posted another 4 run inning in the second. NA put
together 3 homeruns against us to create their 7-0 victory.
The SV Raiders did not give up as they threatened every
inning with solid hits and runners in scoring position where
we failed to capitalize on those opportunities. Jay Condit
started the game and although allowed the 3 homeruns, did
not back down from the hitters and found his groove in the
third inning. Nick Kendrick pitched the 4th and 5th innings
allowing no runs coupled with some outstanding defensive
plays, like a diving catch in right field by Dave Coradi.
Matt Kloos pitched the last two innings allowing no runs and
keeping the NA hitters off balance.
