JV Boys Softball Wins Second Championship in Three Years
By Michael Courtney
June 15th, 2014- On a glorious spring day, the SAR JV Boys Softball Team faced Frisch for the league championship. As the 7-seed, the Sting had already beaten DRS and JEC and now faced the incredibly talented 1-seed. As the road team, SAR had the opportunity to bat first and in the first inning opened up a 6-0 lead. Behind patient plate appearances and clutch hits, at one point six batters in a row reached base. Frisch came storming back with 3 runs in the bottom of the first to make the game close again. But in the third, the bottom of the order led a rally and SAR earned back those three runs to make the lead 9-3. Eli Best had 3 RBI's to lead the charge and Jake Mannis, the starting pitcher, went 3 for 4. Frisch chipped away at the lead with a run in the 6th and two runs in the 7th but alas, SAR held on. The Sting played incredibly well on the field and co-captains Ariel Smith and Remy Neuhaus, batting third and fourth, combined for five times reaching base, two RBI's, and perfect outfield play. The win gives SAR JV Softball its second league championship win in four overall title games. Go Sting!!!
