Parkland High School Baseball

Senior Night at Trojan Field saw the Trojans and Mike Jenkins do what they do best in their 3-0 Victory over Northampton; which is pitch and play defense and as an offense be Selfless and Opportunistic in their approach as a lineup while working as a team in the context of what the game gives them. On this night where hits were hard to be had early on Senior Matt Mellinger had the only hit through the first three frames for the Trojan offense. As evidenced by the complete game shutout Senior Mike Jenkins and the Trojans Defense all but completely held Northampton in check with only 4 hits and 0 walks given out during the contest and only 2 baserunners throught the first 4 innnings one which ROE.  In the Bot of 4 it appeared as though a rally was to begin after a CK Kinsley single and a Matt Mellinger sac bunt to move him to second but the inning ended without a score. After Jenkins and the Trojans worked around a single in the Top of the 5th the Trojans took the lead for good after Dylan Miller walked and singles by Adam Smith and Cullan Wadsworth brought him around to score and give the Trojans a 1-0 lead after 5.

Bottom of 6 and the selfless & opportunistic  mentality moved the lead to 3-0 as Matt Mellinger singled and went 1st to 3rd on a single by Senior Austin Mueller who promptly stole 2nd. Senior Mike Jenkins then received the intentional pass to 1st to load the bases with Jeremy Piatkiewicz coming in to pinch run. Adam Mellinger hit into a FC and Mueller scored on a passed ball with Piatkiewicz scoring after successive walks to Will Algard and Dylan Miller and the Trojans had a 3-0 Victory on Senior Night!

The Squad, Staff and Fans would like to thank all of the Seniors for their contributions to Parkland Baseball over the years while wishing them the best in both Baseball and Life in the future! THANK YOU SENIORS!  NOW BRING HOME THE SHIP!
