Parkland High School Baseball

The JV Trojans suffered their first loss of the season in heartbreaking fashion. Parkland started the game with Matt Ervolina singling and Alex Oliver getting hit by a pitch. Will Algard hit into a fielder’s choice and Carson Fracas singled scoring Oliver. Ty Conrad also hit into an RBI fielder’s choice scoring Algard for a 2-0 lead. Nazareth answered back with a run in the first and two in the second making the score 3-2 in favor of the Blue Eagles. Parkland answered with 2 runs in the third started with an Algard single followed by two consecutive fielder’s choice balls hit by Fracas and Conrad with Fracas being safe on a throwing error. Collin Duff singled scoring pinch runner Julian Colon and Ty Conrad scored on a passed ball giving the Trojans a 4-3 edge.

Nazareth held the hard hitting Trojans to just one hit the rest of the game. George Jenkins threw out a would-be base stealer in the 5th inning to squash a Nazareth rally, holding them to just one run and a tied score. Fracas started the game for Parkland, pitching the first 7 innings striking out 11 batters. Ty Conrad, pitching in relief, worked out of an 8th inning jam with help from a diving play by Dylan Snyder with a drawn in infield to keep the game scoreless. In the 9th, Nazareth managed to manufacture a run for the 5-4 victory halting the JV win streak at five.
