Parkland's bats came alive against Northampton today and junior pitcher Matt Hurd gained his first varsity win with 5 innings of work.  Adam Fye pitched the final two innings to seal the 10-3 victory.  Parkland's offense was led by Nick Rabasco (3-4, 2 2B, 3 RBI), DC Castillo's 3-run homer, RBI single by Tyler Graeff, 2 RBI single by Kyle Stinner, double by Derek Freibolin, and Matt Hurd helped himself with 2 hits.  

The Parkland JV team climbed their way back from an early 6-1 deficit against Northampton to make it 6-5 in the 6th inning, with catcher Zach Merkle getting a key 2-run double.  In the 7th, the Trojans had the tying run on 3rd with 2 outs, but were unable to get the run across the plate and lost 6-5.

 

 

Dan Klem, sophomore third baseman at LaSalle University, led the Explorers in erasing a five-run deficit against Temple.  With two outs and down 0-2 in the count, Klem went the other way and knocked home a clutch two-run single that tied the game at 6-6.  Klem went 3-for-5 in the game with a run scored and two RBI.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The College of New Jersey baseball team's sophomore catcher Jon Gabriel has had his season cut short by an injury (a fracture of the hamate bone) and underwent surgery on Thursday.  Gabriel was batting .353 with three doubles and six RBIs at the time of the injury.  He expects to be back for the Blue Mountain League season, playing for the Blue Mountain Hawks.

 

 

Parkland lost its first league matchup of the year, falling to Nazareth, 5-3.  Parkland batters hit the ball well against Nazareth's strong pitching of Karl Keglovits and Jordan Smith, but few landed for hits.  Parkland's Dan Shaw had another strong outing on the mound pitching a complete game, but Parkland's defensive miscues led to 3 unearned runs.  Jon Kucharczuk had an RBI double and Nick Rabasco plated 2 runs on two singles.  Parkland's JV team lost to Nazareth, 14-9.
