Broad Run 5, Briar Woods 3
The Skinny: Spartans report that with the win the Spartans raise their season mark to 8-2. The Spartans are now 4-1 in the Dulles District. Shane Vlasic started the game on the mound for the Spartans and struck out 10 batters in 4.67 innings pitched. Vlasic allowed 6 hits on the evening. All three of the runs he allowed were unearned. Junior Taylor Clarke went 2.33 innings to pick up the win in relief. Clarke allowed 1 hit, struck out 2, and raised his record to 4-1 on the season on the mound.
Offensively, the Spartans took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning with hits from Shane Vlasic, Zach Rawson, and Nick Richardson. With the score tied at 3-3 in the sixth inning, the Spartans pushed across their fourth and fifth runs of the evening. Freshmen third basemen AJ Powell led off the sixth with his team-high 6th double of the season. After a pair of intentional walks and a force out at the plate, Jeff Hershey squeezed in the go-ahead RBI, and Conor Jessop knocked in the final run of the evening with a hard hit ground ball to third base.
The Spartans will be back in action this coming Friday as they travel to Loudoun County High School in Leesburg. First pitch is set for 6 pm.
Tom Phillips for Briar Woods reports that Broad Run executed a perfect suicide squeeze in the bottom of the 6th inning to break a 3-3 deadlock, and ultimately defeat the Falcons of Briar Woods by a final score of 5-3 Tuesday night at Broad Run. However, the score was not indicative of the tremendous pitcher’s duel to which the fans in attendance were treated.
The game pitted the Spartans’ senior righty Shane Vlasic, against the Falcons’ junior southpaw David Phillips. Both Pitchers attacked the opposing lineup with a smart mix of fastballs and off-speed pitches, keeping the opposition hitters off balance and off the bases for most of the night. Like two heavy weights, each responded to the punches of the other, refusing to give in. The two Pitchers threw two gems, and when Vlasic left in the 5th the teams were deadlocked at 3-3.
The Falcons surrendered 3 unearned runs in the bottom of the 1st, and the Spartans did the same in the top of the 5th. Vlasic led off the bottom of the first by sending a curve ball into right for a base hit.
Ryan Johnston reached safely and Vlasic advanced when the Falcon third baseman bobbled his ground ball. Zach Rawson hit a ground ball single just out of the reach of Phillips, which was mishandled in center field, allowing Vlasic to score. After 2 strike outs, Nick Richardson hit another ground ball single that deflected off Phillips’ glove, followed by another strikeout to end the threat. In the next 4 innings, the Spartans could only muster 1 hit off Phillips.
After being held scoreless on 5 hits through the first 4 innings, the Falcons scored 3 unearned runs in the 5th on no hits as Vlasic showed signs of tiring. The Falcons Gavin Scherer led off the inning being hit by a pitch. Victor Rizzardi reached and Scherer advanced when Vlasic could not make a play on a slow roller to his right. This was followed by an overthrow at 1st base on Kyle Haufler’s sacrifice bunt, scoring Scherer and leaving Falcons on second and third. Rizzardi streaked home to score on a wild pitch, and Haufler scored to tie the game when pinch hitter Mat Irish grounded out crisply to first. Taylor Clarke took over on the mound for the Spartans, getting Thomas Lechler to ground back to the Pitcher to end the threat. In the 6th and 7th the Falcons could only muster 1 more base hit.
The Spartans secured the winning runs in the bottom of the 6th when AJ Powell hit a lead off double, the only Spartans extra base hit of the night. Falcons coach Josh Mosser intentionally walked the next hitter to set up a force play at first, second, and third. After a foul ball bunt attempt with the Falcons crashing all around the infield, the Falcons attempted to pick off Powell at second base. Phillips' throw skipped into center field, advancing the runners. Mosser then intentionally walked Nick Richardson to load the bases. Falcons Second Baseman Kyle Haufler gunned down Powell at the plate for the first out by making a great play on Chase Warren’s ground ball. Spartan pinch hitter Jeff Hershey then executed a perfect suicide squeeze to score Tyler Small, and put the Spartans up 4-3. Richardson scored an insurance run when a ground ball was bobbled at third, and the Spartans took a 5-3 lead into the top of the seventh.
Spartan Pitcher Taylor Clarke put down the Falcons in order in the top of the 7th to secure the win. When the dust had cleared, and as the teams shook hands at home plate, there was no doubt that the fans in attendance had been treated to a great battle between two hard-nosed teams, and a brilliant pitcher’s duel between two equally tenacious aces.
Potomac Falls 11, Loudoun County 3
The Skinny: In a tough Dulles District match up, Michael Lascomb led the Panthers with 6 RBI’s on 3 doubles and a single as the Panthers defeated Loudoun County 11-3. Jackson Rogers picked up the win and Steven Fisher recorded his 7th save of the season.
The Panthers scored 2 in the first off of Taylor Cokely when Ryan Mahoney doubled and Ryan Miller walked before Lascomb knocked them in with a double to left. They added 3 more in the 3rd on a single by Thomas Rea and a walk to Mahoney. Miller followed with an RBI single to center before Lascomb drilled another double to left to score both runners and give the Panthers a 5-0 lead.
The Raiders got to Rogers in the 4th on a double to center by Tyler Saleck followed by an RBI double to left by Nick Veschi. The Panthers responded with 3 runs in their half of the 4th on a single by Tyler Caldwell followed by an RBI double to center by Ben Sweger. Rae followed with a single to score Sweger before Lascomb drilled a single down the first base line for his 5th RBI.
In the 5th Loudoun County scored 2 runs on a single by Matt Slack, followed by a double by Matt Cunningham. Kelly Drews then grounded out to short to score 1 run and Taylor Cokely followed with a double to score Cunningham to make the score 8-3. The Panthers added 2 more runs in the 6th when Rea and Mahoney both walked. Rae then scored on a wild pitch before Lascomb hit his 3rd double of the night to score Mahoney and record his 6th RBI.

McLean 2, Stone Bridge 1
The Skinny: The Bulldogs traveled to McLean to face the top ranked Highlanders in a crucial Liberty District match up. Stone Bridge faced University of Notre Dame bound Sean Fitzgerald, countering with junior Steve Putnick. Each pitcher was effective thought out the entire game, both going the distance for their respective teams. Fitzgerald and Putnick were on from the start. Fitzgerald scattered seven Stone Bridge hits though out the game, coming on strong at the end with six strikeouts in the last three innings. Putnick stayed with the senior standout throughout the entire game, working out of a couple of jams, allowing two runs on three hits, with three strikeouts for the night.
The Bulldogs went into the top of the seventh down 2-0 and added to the excitement for the night. Senior Dylan Berger led off the inning with a blast to right center for a double. After a Bulldog out, Taylor Lambke smoked a double off the centerfield fence plating Berger. However with two outs the Bulldogs could not get Lambke home to move the game to extra innings, and the Highlanders walked off with a 2-1 victory. Sid Harvey went 2-3 for Stone Bridge, and five other Bulldogs each had a hit.
