JV Lose to Northampton on Opening Day

Posted by Christopher Giovenco at Mar 26, 2019 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
There is nothing like the excitement of Opening Day for the baseball season.  The Trojan JV nine appeared ready for the first game as they faced Northampton, who happened to have our number last year.   Although the excitement was there and the players were ready,Northampton got on the board with an unearned run in the first.   After getting a hit in the first, the Trojans were unable to score.  Even though Bryce Ratliff was in scoring position after lacing a double to right center field, he was left stranded.   The 2nd inning looked to be the start of something big as both Owen Lehr and AJ Carpenter were able to get on through bases on balls with no outs, but the crafty righthander from Northampton was able to pitch his way out of trouble in a couple of innings.   In fact, that was a big theme for the night as the Konkrete Kids walked 7 batters but the 9 strikeouts by the home team were going to make this a tough game to create a meaningful inning.

Starting pitcher Joe Algard pitched well through four innings with only one ball truly hit hard to the outfield and giving up some slow dribblers for hits that helped the opposing team get a couple more runs.   Joe was effective enough to earn the win but fielding miscues and well placed slow grounders helped the Kids from Northampton.  Joe and Ty Tremba, making his first Parkland appearance, threw strikes throughout the game.  Catcher Aaron Atiyeh made all the necessary plays behind the plate to keep the Northampton runners glued to their bases.   All the home team needed was some clutch hits and the final score would have been different.  In the 3rd, a potential rally happened after leadoff hitter, Taiki Horiguchi walked to get the inning started.   After another walk to Bryce Ratliff, those two were ready with two outs when Owen Lehr hit a ball to left field that was juggled, allowing the speedy Horiguchi to score the first run.  A hard hit grounder by AJ Carpenter was scooped up by the shortstop to nip the lanky batter at first base ending the potential big inning.  Down 3 to 1 in the 4th, the bats started to get as cold as the weather.  Even with the effective Tremba on the mound holding the visiting team to no runs, lack of offense ended the teams first game with a disappointing loss.   Other than the walks, a clutch two out single by Dean Scott and a 2nd double by hitting star, Bryce Ratliff, the bats were silent.   Not all was lost on the opening game as the middle infield made some really smooth 6 to 4 to 3 double plays with Ratliff to Miskanic to Carpenter getting the key outs on inning ending double plays.   The pitching also was very solid and with improved defense and some key hits, these L’s can quickly turn into W’s!   One game down but the team will be more than ready as they play at cross town rival, Allentown Central Catholic on Thursday
