The Clay High School JV Gold baseball team (20-5, 12-3 N.L.L.) won their 20th game of the year on Friday Night in a non league matchup versus Northview by a score of 15-0. In their last game of the year, the Eagles would score 15 runs in the first 4 innings on the way to a run ruled shortened game. The boys accomplished all 3 of their season goals after this game (200th career win, N.L.L. Cardinal Division Champs and 20 wins) and it would conclude a magical season!
Max Sutton (1.70 ERA) would overpower the Wildcats hitters on his way to his 5th win on the season. Sutton would strikeout 4 hitters in his 3 innings of work.
At the dish, Clay would only have 7 hits on the night and Kyle O'Neill (.405) would be the only player with multiple hits going 2-3 with 2 runs, 2 RBI's and a HBP.
I would like to congratulate all of the players that were a part of the team this year, their "buy-in", grit and determination will be something to look back on as they were the type of team a coach could only dream about. Thank you all for the memories this year brought, it is something that can never be taken away!
Amazing season Fellas!!!!!!!
The JV Green baseball team carried a 4-1 lead into the 6th inning Thursday night, but Anthony Wayne rallied with 2 runs in the 6th and 7th innings to defeat the Eagles 5-4. The game marked the final contest of an outstanding season for the Eagles, who finished with an impressive 17-5 overall record. As a team, the Eagles posted a batting average above .300 while compiling a stellar 2.71 team ERA. Clay swept each of the following opponents twice during the season: St. John’s, St. Francis, Perrysburg, Maumee, Southview, and Northview. Three of the team’s five losses came by a combined total of just 5 runs, including two heartbreaking 1 run losses. The season was filled with memorable moments, a few include Bryce Ostrander’s walk-off home run against St. Francis in the bottom of the 9th inning, Blake Mummert’s one-hit complete game shutout against Bedford, Ross Cody’s game-ending highlight-reel defensive play against Perrysburg, and Tommy Ray’s complete game no-hitter against Southview. We would like to thank our families and friends for their unwavering support throughout the season.
Tommy Ray threw a complete game no hitter on Wednesday night to lead the Eagles to a 9-0 victory over Southview. Tommy needed just 77 pitches to complete the gem, striking out 4 Cougar hitters. The Eagles’ defense was outstanding behind him, making plays all game. At the plate the Eagles scattered 11 hits, led by Tommy Ray, who went 3-4 with 2 runs score and an RBI. Jake Hernandez (1-4,R), Madden Penix (1-4, 2B, R, 2 RBI), Ross Cody (1-4, RBI), Brody Katschke (1-3, R), Danny Harris (1-2, 2B, R), Luke Thatcher (1-1, 2B, R), Billy Plomaritis (1-4, R), and Blake Mummert (1-3, R) all collected hits in the win. This victory improves their record to 17-4 on the season. The Eagles will finish up their season tonight as they travel to Anthony Wayne, first pitch is at 5pm.
