After a dominating performance in defeating Sewickley Academy, the Trojans turned right around to face off against Big Walnut in the second of two games on the slate for the day. The Trojans led off the game with a bang with singles by Ethan Bardolph and Ben Zastrow, who both scored on a triple from Alex Johnson that two-hopped the fence. Johnson later scored on a single by Phil Stanton and the Trojans led 3-0 after the top of the 1st. The Eagles managed to push across a pair of runs of their own off starter Luke Davidson in the bottom of the 1st and added a single run in the 2nd to knot the score at 3-3 after two innings of play. Timothy jumped back into the lead in the 3rd thanks in large part to a two out double by Stanton. Alex Zarek replaced Davidson on the mound to start the 4th and shut down the Eagles offense while the Trojans continued to pile up runs. RBI's by Luke Hooker, Ben Zastrow, Mike Wieringa, and Aaron Snoeyink pushed the Trojan lead to 11-4. Big Walnut showed signs of life in the bottom of the 6th by adding a pair of runs to cut into the Trojan lead, but the Trojans first five men were able to reach base to start the 7th to all but end the game. The final was 14-7 in favor of the Trojans.
Leading the offensive charge for Timothy was Stanton (4-5, 2B, 2 RBI), Zastrow (3-4, BB, 2 R, RBI), Bardolph (2-3, 2 BB, 2 R), Wieringa (2-5, 2 R, 3 RBI), and VanderNaald (2-2, BB, R, 2 RBI).
Davidson and Zarek combined to keep the Eagle hitters off balance by striking out four and walking three over the 7 innings.
Thursday morning we play our last game of Spring Break against Chagrin Falls at 9:00. I hope to be able to give in-game updates again, so check back to follow along!
