College Corner: Woodgrove Grad Sarty with Clutch Hits off Bench for William & Mary Baseball

College Corner with Dan Sousa

(March 19, 2013) - Woodgove High School grad Jonathan Sarty is making an early impact off the bench in his freshman campaign with the William & Mary baseball team, including three pinch-hit RBI at-bats in one weekend against Rutgers.


Coming on as a pinch hitter the March 8 game in the bottom of the 8th with 2 outs, Sarty punched a single up the middle of the infield to drive in the game winning run.

He again made his way to the plate in game 2 on Saturday. This time it was in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and the Tribe trailing 3-2 and a runner on 3rd. Sarty again came through in the clutch, delivering a solid hit to left that tied the game at 3-3. William and Mary went on to lose the game in 10 innings 5-3.

Sunday's rubbermatch it was a tight affair with Rutgers taking the lead in the top half of the 9th scoring 2 runs to make it a 3-2 game. The Tribe answered back by putting a runner on second with one away and who else steps to the plate but Sarty.

Once again Sarty proved to be clutch in the pressure as he ripped a double to deep left that scored the tying run and left him also in scoring position. One batter later Kevin Nutter's hard single saw Sarty racing around third and safely into home to close out the contest.

To date, Sarty has 18 at-bats with five hits, three RBIs and a run scored.
