BOX SCORE   SH vs.York Tech 4/18

In the month of April the Spartans are beginning to experience some of the fruits of all the hard work they’ve put in. They started a very important week with an 8-2 victory yesterday at Steelton. The team executed in every major area of the game. Zadin Zorbaugh (Fr.) threw 4 innings allowing just 1 run and earned his second W of the year. Luke Greisler (Jr.), Nathan Chronister (Jr.) and Juan Lopez (So.) completed the last 3 innings allowing just 1 more run and dominating the Rollers offense. The defense played tremendously, committing 1 error and making several key plays to ensure the victory. Cam Schanberger (So.) continues to shine defensively behind the plate, throwing out another runner in the 6^th who was trying to steal. Offensively, the Spartans were led by their 3 big hitters: Chronister, Greisler and Lopez. These 3 players accounted for 6 of the 8 Spartan runs. Greisler who attends York College for classes on Tuesdays showed up to the field 5 minutes before game time. He then stepped in the batter’s box with 2 outs and nobody on base in the first inning and hit a ground rule double over the left fielder’s head. Greisler stole 3^rd and scored on a Lopez base hit which ignited the offense. Tyler Smith (Sr.), Cam Schanberger (So.), Jeffrey Gonzalez (So.), Christian Slyder (Sr.) and Joey VonRohr (Fr.) all had hits in the game as well. If it weren’t for a few untimely base-running mistakes the game probably would have ended in a 10-run rule. All in all, it was a very successful and exciting game for Tech.
