Spartans win a pair against tough opponents The Strong baseball team won two games last week against two tough opponents, Woodrow Wilson and RHAM. Monday the Spartans hosted Woodrow and Prevailed 3-0. James Salemme pitched a complete game 1 hit shut out. It wasn’t easy. In the second inning Woodrow loaded the bases on the lone hit and two walks with no outs. An attempted safety squeeze bunt was thwarted when Dan Turecyk bounced out of the catchers box and grabbed the bunt tagging
home before the Woodrow runner recording out number one. Salemme struck out the next batter and ended the inning by getting the next hitter to bounce back to the mound and the threat was over. The score stayed at 0-0 until the bottom of the 4th inning. Griffen Saks led off with a base hit and stole second and third with Dan Munro at the plate. Munro hit a hard ball to second that the fielder could not handle and reached first safely and Saks scored the games first run. Salemme

on one hit and 5 walks. The RHAM pitcher was up to the task as well, holding the Spartans to just one hit through 3 innings. With RHAM leading 1-0 heading into the bottom of the 4th inning the Spartans came to life. A walk to Luke Garofalo and Griffen Saks set the table for a beautiful hit and run shot to left by Peter Onofrio scoring Garofalo and the score was tied. O’Sullivan reached on a fielders choice putting runners at the corners. RHAM attempted a pick off play which back fired as O’Sullivan got into a pickle and Saks scored the go ahead run. Eric Debrum entered the game in relief in the 5th and worked out of trouble with men on 1st and 2nd with one out, the RHAM hitter connected on a hard ball to Garofalo at short, he picked it
then walked and Cal Pitruzello ran into a bunt attempt recording the first out of the inning. A past ball moved the runners to second and third with Macquire O’Sullivan at the plate. O’Sullivan would hit a ground ball by the third baseman scoring Munro putting the Spartans up 2-0. Salemme pitched awesome and the Spartan defense was flawless. An insurance run would be added in the 5th inning and the Spartans went on to victory 3-0 for their third win in a row. May 2 the Spartans faced RHAM on the brook field in Durham. The sun was finally shinning and the temperature was a balmy 65 degrees. Macguire O’Sullivan took the mound for the first time this season and would not disappoint. He pitched 4-1/3 innings giving up just one run

cleanly threw to Cal Pitruzello at second for one and onto Saks at first for an inning ending double play. This juiced up the Spartans, and in the bottom of the 6th the Spartans added two more runs. Garofalo reached on an error and would steal second. Saks flied to right and up came Onofrio. With the count 2-1, Peter connected with a blast over the left fielders head scoring Garofalo as he trotted into second for a double. Eric Debrum followed with a blast of his own in the Left field gap scoring Onofrio and recording the teams first triple of the season. That would all the Spartans would need to secure the 4-1 victory and improve their record to 4-0. — Submitted by Kenny Vallone
