BOX SCORE   COL vs.York Tech 4/11

Yesterday was a much needed break out game for the Spartans. The team had been on a bit of a slide after defeating Delone Catholic early last week. A heartbreaking loss at York Catholic followed by a couple un-Spartan-like performances on Saturday and Monday brought the Spartans to a turning point in the season. A letter to the team from Coach Brown summed up the feelings of the coaching staff and refocused the players on the importance hard work, attention to detail and having a good time on the field. The players responded in a resounding way pounding 16 hits and scoring 16 runs while allowing just 2 at Columbia last night. There was a different energy in the dugout and on the field and it was a great experience and memory for our players. It would be far too much for this email to recognize all of the outstanding individual performances but I’ll highlight a few below. Baseball nerds can check out the box score for more stats.

Zadin Zorbaugh (Fr.) 1-2, RBI, R at the plate and 5 innings, 8 k’s and just 1R on the mound.

Juan Lopez (So.) 3-4, 2 RBI, 3R

Nathan Chronister (Jr.) 1-2, RBI, 2 SB, 3R

Tyler Smith (Sr.) 2-5, 2 RBI, SB, 2R

Christian Slyder (Sr.) 1-2, SB, R

Please congratulate these players on their hard work and success last night. The Spartans head to Fairfield tonight for a big contest as they look to get back to .500 in the division.  Thanks for your continued support!
