Thanks to our Seniors again, Cason Cunningham, Daniel Herr, Andrew Leung, JJ McMahon and Cody Walker. These guys did lead the way in showing our younger players how to work hard and how to compete. I also want to thank our coaching staff for the outstanding work they did this season. Jim Fryback, Quentin Harley, Jim Rise, Tyler Martell were awesome for the Varsity this year.

Gary's notes:
  Sheldon graduates key starters in Cason Cunningham, Daniel Herr, Andrew Leung and Cody Walker. The Irish return first team outfielder Ryan Land, first team utility (catcher) Dylan Lewis and HM 3B/SS Cooper Stiles. Of the two other starters today, sophomore Brett Nielsen will be counted on for major mound duty next year and Cameron Herr will be back in the infield. Several other Irish players got significant varsity playing time this year.  Looking at next year, the Colts have the jump on the Irish, but the Irish are loaded with returning talent and a good summer could move the Irish ahead.

Brett Nielsen goes yard against Barlow

"Ryan! Doubles and Triples? We need
some home runs next game."

Sheldon scored in four of the six innings they hit beginning in the bottom of the first. Ryan Land led off the game with a triple and scored when Dan Herr reached on an error. After Herr was thrown out stealing, Brett Nielsen hit a towering home run over the center field fence to give Sheldon a 2-0 lead. In the third with one out, Dan Herr walked and Cooper Stiles reached on an error. Nielsen got on base with a fielders choice, giving the Irish runners at first and third. Cunningham lined a single to left, scoring Herr while on the play Nielsen scored on a throwing error, and Sheldon Led four to nothing.

With one out in the fourth, pinch hitter, Kaleb Stubbs was hit by a pitch and Land promptly double off the left field wall. Herr singled up the middle, scoring both Stubbs and Land. In the bottom of the fifth, Dylan Lewis doubled and Andrew Leung singled. Leung stole second and then Cameron Herr was walked to load the bases. Cody Walker hit a sacrifice fly to give Sheldon their seventh and final run.

Land was 2-3 with a double and a triple and Leung was also 2-3. Nielsen, Dylan Lewis, Dan Herr and Cunnigham also had hits for Sheldon.

The Irish will travel to Westview on Wednesday for a second round match-up.

Go Irish

Cason Cunningham blows by Redmond
in Sheldon's 11-1 victory

Redmond scored an unearned run in the 1st inning to take a quick lead, but that was all they could muster as Cason Cunningham struck out nine while giving up just one hit and walking only two in the victory.

In the 2nd inning the Irish scored all they would need. Dylan Lewis led off with a walk and Andrew Leung doubled him home with a drive off the wall in right center field. Cody Walker walked and Gaje McDaniel laid down a perfect bunt for his first Varsity base hit. With the bases loaded, Ryan Land was hit by a pitch scoring Leung and Daniel Herr followed with a sacrifice fly scoring Walker. After a Cooper Stiles infield single, McDaniel scored Sheldon's fourth run on a fielders choice when Redmond's 1st baseman made a diving stop of a Brett Nielsen ground ball.

Sheldon put the game away in the 4th inning. After two quick outs, Nielsen double off the wall in right field and Cunningham walked and Nielsen advanced on a wild pitch and scored on the back half of a double steal. Lewis also was walked and Redmond made a pitching change. Leung greeted the new Panther hurler with his second double of the game. After Walker reached on a base on balls, McDaniel doubled to left field, clearing the bases. Land and Herr were hit by pitches loading the bases again. Stiles walked, scoring McDaniel and then a wild pitch allowed Land to score giving the Irish their winning margin. Sheldon scored seven runs in the inning all with two outs.

Leung was 3/3 with two doubles, McDaniel was 2/2 with three rbi and Stiles and Nielsen each had two hits to pace the Irish offense.
