Parkland Loses 7-5 to Nazareth in LVC Semi-Final Matchup

Posted by John Rabasco at May 15, 2012 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
It looked like the Parkland Trojans would continue their success against Nazareth and their ace pitcher Karl Keglovits after scoring four runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning to take a 4-1 lead early in the game.  However, Nazareth answered with four runs of their own in the top half of the 3rd inning to grab a 5-4 lead.  Nazareth never gave up the lead on their way to a 7-5 win over Parkland in the semi-final matchup of the 2012 LVC playoffs.  Starting pitcher Matt Hurd worked 4+ innings allowing 6 runs on 5 hits while striking out four.  In Parkland's 2nd inning at the plate, Tyler Graeff (2-for-3, R) got things started with a single and Kyle Stinner (1-for-3, R) then reached base on an error.  After fouling off several pitches, Brian Zesch earned a walk to load the bases with two outs for Nick Rabasco (3-for-4, two doubles, R, 2 RBI) who plated two runs with a double.  Parkland scored two more runs in the inning on a Nazareth error.  After Nazareth went up by a score of 7-4 in the 5th inning, Parkland managed to score their fifth run when Chris Rabasco (1-for-4, double, R) hit a double, moved to third on a groundout, then scored on a wild pitch.  Chris Rabasco pitched the final three innnings in relief allowing one run on 4 hits with one strikeout.  District XI playoffs are up next for the Trojans which begin next week.

Parkland Wins LVC North Division Title with 6-3 Win Over Whitehall

Posted by John Rabasco at May 9, 2012 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

The Parkland Trojans won the LVC North Division title today by beating Whitehall by a score of 6-3 in their final regular season game.  The Trojans finished the regular season with an 11-3 conference record and 15-5 overall.  Parkland now moves on to the LVC playoffs which starts Tuesday, May 15.

 

Parkland jumped out to a 2-0 lead against Whitehall in the top of the 1st inning when Damin Muth (1-for-2, R, BB, sac bunt, RBI) singled home Nick Rabasco (1-for-4, 2 R) and then Chris Rabasco (3-for-4, two doubles, R, 4 RBI) hit a double to bring Muth in for the second run.  Starting pitcher Adam Fye went 4 innings, striking out four and allowing only a first inning run.  Brian Zesch (1-for-2, double, BB) came on to pitch in relief in the 5th inning and held Whitehall scoreless.  The game remained a 2-1 score until the 6th inning when Parkland added two runs to make the score 4-1.  After a Brandon Evans (1-for-4, R) single and a Muth sacrifice bunt, Chris Rabasco hit an RBI double.  Later in the 6th, Jacob Rosenblatt (1-for-3, double, RBI) hit a double to drive in another run.  In the bottom of the 6th, Whitehall put the first three batters on to load the bases with no outs.  Sophomore pitcher Gabe Mosser, a recent call-up from the JV team, then came on in relief to try to get out of the jam.  Whitehall managed two sacrifice flies to score two runs, but Mosser finished the inning with a strikeout to preserve the 4-3 Parkland lead.  In the top of the 7th inning, the Trojans loaded the bases when Adam Schneck (1-for-3, R) and Nick Rabasco singled followed by a Muth walk. Chris Rabasco then hit a 2-RBI single to drive in two runs and increase Parkland’s lead to 6-3.  Although Whitehall put a couple of runners on base in the bottom of the 7th, Mosser induced a ground ball for a double play and got the final out on another ground ball to clinch the victory by a score of 6-3 and earn his first save at the varsity level.
