There were some signs during spring training scrimmages that the Portledge Varsity Baseball team might be able to hang in there with the top teams in IPPSAL Baseball. On Tuesday, April 15th the boys got there first chance to see where they were in relation to the top of the league when they squared off against OSNA in the first game of a two game home and home series.
What Happened at Broxmeyer Field in the First Game of the OSNA Series?
The Panthers were feeling good because they had ace pitcher Reid Ericson on the mound and he was coming off a 14 strikeout and no hit game v. Knox a week ago. Ericson didn't disappoint as he twirled another three no hit innings and pushed his strikeout total to 28 with some incredible pitching throughout the game. OSNA did eventually score twice, but both runs were unearned, thus, through two games "the ace" has an ERA of 0.000. This is an amazing occurrence that rarely happens during early season baseball. Unfortunately, OSNA had their own ace on the mound, and except for a few scattered hits, the Panthers couldn't manage much offense against the hard throwing righty. The final score was 2-1, but the Panthers will get a chance to even the season series when they travel to OSNA for a rematch on Thursday, April 17th. Good luck to
Mr. O'Rourke and the team.
