Baseball splits

two contests

The Rappahannock High boys baseball team lost a close game to Central last week then rebounded to beat Manassas Park 7-2 for their third win of the season.

Against Central the Panthers were leading 7-6 going into the top of the seventh behind the pitching of freshman Hunter Foster. Four defensive errors later and Central had won, 10-7.

One highlight: junior catcher Kevin Daymude clocked a two-RBI home run, continuing his team-leading hitting pace.

On Friday the other freshman pitcher, J.C. Welch, went the distance in collecting the win for the Panthers. Rappahannock jumped out to a five-run lead in the first inning and never looked back.

Welch had seven strikeouts and threw only 99 pitches the whole game.

“He threw strikes and he threw a lot of ground balls,” said Coach Mike Tupper. Some outstanding defensive play saved the win, said Coach Tupper.

They play at Central Wednesday and home against George Mason at 5 p.m. Friday.
