Last Monday, the Hurricanes baseball team hosted their CVC rival, the Cuyahoga Heights Red Wolves. The visitors came in at 2-13, while the hosts sported a 4-9 clip. This seemed to be a very winnable game, but the Hurricanes bats could not find any rhythm in this contest.
In the first inning, the Red Wolves got on the board with an RBI single. In the bottom half, Brooklyn went down without scoring, trailing 1-0.
The second inning went by quickly as neither team scored.
In the third inning, the Red Wolves added two more runs off of a two-run single and another run off of an RBI single up the middle. The Hurricanes still could not pull anything out in the third as the bats remained silent. Where was Jobu to wake up the bats?
Cuyahoga Heights added another run in the fourth off of a couple of errors to make it 5-0. In the bottom of the fifth, senior Jackson Diller got into scoring position after a single and stole two bases to put himself 90-feet away to get Brooklyn on the board. Unfortunately, nobody could bring him in, and the Hurricanes were held scoreless yet again.
Diller pitched a scoreless sixth to finish off his outing, pitching six innings, giving up four hits, two earned runs, and striking out five. Senior Steven Bartczak pitched a scoreless seventh, allowing just one walk.
The Hurricanes went down in the bottom of the seventh, and for the first time in this season, the Hurricanes were blanked.
Final Score: Cuyahoga Heights 5, Brooklyn 0
The Hurricanes managed just three hits in this game from Diller, senior Miguel Veloz, and freshman Gio Garst.
The regular season concludes tomorrow for Senior Night against Glenville with the first pitch scheduled for 4:30. Then on Monday, they play their OHSAA first-round playoff matchup against the Oberlin Phoenix at home.
Finally, the softball team will take on Garrett Morgan tomorrow at 4:30 and will conclude their season on Saturday morning against Mansfield Christian.
Go Canes!
