On Tuesday, April 2nd, Rye High School’s baseball team hosted rival John Mall’s team in a double-header. Craver Middle School seventh grader Taylor Kenney provided a beautiful rendition of our national anthem to get things started.

Game One had Coach Stacie Graham starting Senior hurler Damon Elarton, who provided a stellar performance from the mound. Elerton pitched two strong innings, with a long break in-between, and was subsequently relieved by Junior Robert Buford. Rye hitters were on their game, rocketing shot after shot off John Mall’s pitchers. Once the score was 22-0, the game was called. According to CHSSA rules, a twenty run or more deficit after three innings ends the game.

In game Two, Coach Graham started Junior Brice Benz. Rye won this shortened game 16-1. Benz shut down John Mall’s hitters for two innings, and was relieved by Freshman Brock Benz and Senior Jackson Ortiz. John Mall did manage a walk and three hits in this contest, which contributed to their only run of the day. This game also ended early due to the score discrepancy.
