JV Year End Comments from Coach V.
Now that the games are over and we begin the process of packing up the equipment for the summer, the big picture of team/individual accomplishments can truly be appreciated by all. Often over looked by the ebb and flow of a very competitive season are the little things that lead to life-long success. This year's squad, although the largest group I've ever had, should be proud of their efforts and commitment not only to Poly baseball, but to their personal growth. The rigors of a strenuous split-squad schedule forced many players to continuously adapt to adverse scenarios. They gave me their all, and that's all I can ask of them. It has been my pleasure to be apart of their success.
5/9/08
Varsity beat MLK 2-0 in the final game of the season. Dylan Stuart got the start and pitched 5-2/3 shutout innings (6 Hits, 1BB, 4K) and Adam Mott finished the shutout, putting down 4 batters on 12 pitches (9 for strikes) and striking out two. Jake Marisnick was the hero with the bat, getting Poly's only hit with two on, two outs, and two strikes, breaking up the no hitter. Jake stayed in a pickle and allowed the second run to score.
The Soph/Frosh team played well but came up short 4-3 in a J.V. league game against MLK. Alex Richardson and Daniel Berg pitched well allowing 2 earned runs in a combined 7 inning effort. Once again Jacob Stuart was impressive behind the plate. Offensively the Bears were lead by Nick Cordoba 1-1 (HB,SF,RUN), Chris Rabago 1-3 (3B,RUN), Thomas Combs 1-4, Garrett Dabney 1-2 (BB,RUN) Zach Speer's sac bunt with 2 on in the 5th allowed the bears to take the lead 3-1.
5/7/08
Varsity came up short in its bid to win a fifth straight Ivy League championship falling to MLK 5-2. Kevin Verdaja got the start and scattered 7 hits over 3-2/3 innings (2k, 1BB), but the defense gave up five unearned runs. On the bright side, Trevor Creech pitched for the first time since injuring his Ham string in the North game (4/12) and went 2-2/3 innings without allowing a hit. Blair Moore led the offense with a double and a home run, scoring both of Poly's two runs. Ryan Nordbeck was 2-2 (1B, 2B, HP)
The J.V. team feel victim to the baseball gods in a 12-7 loss to MLK Wednesday. After taking the lead 4-3 and pitcher Andy Olsen in control of the game from the mound a series of “baseball bad luck” plays opened the flood gates for a King 9 run 5th inning.
