5/19/2015

The Solanco JV softball team dominated opponents on the way to a 17-0 record.
"This was an outstanding season," coach Chad McDowell said. "After a slow start to the season, with all the weather issues, I thought this team really came together quickly. They stepped on the field and perform well. They expected to and they believed that they were going to win every time out and that was a key to much of our success. Throughout the season everyone made individual improvements, they made lasting memories with their teammates and they had FUN being on the field together and they spelled fun...W-I-N... seventeen times!"

    The Solanco baseball team split its last two games of the season to finish with a 10-10 record.
   The Mules ended the season on a positive note with a 6-4 triumph over district qualifier Dallastown last Wednesday.
   Senior hurler Kenny Walton went out in style. He recorded 13 strikeouts, did not walk a batter, and gave up two earned runs.
   He fanned the final batter to secure the win. "Kenny is calm and collected on the mound, but he got a little excited after the last out," coach Tom Fish said.
   "I'm happy he got the win. He threw nine shutout innings in his last game and didn't get a win so I'm happy for him."

    It was a perfect way to end a perfect season.
   Kaitlyn Borcky pitched a three-inning perfect game as the Solanco JV softball team capped an undefeated season with a 15-0 triumph over Pequea Valley Tuesday, May 5.
   Borcky recorded five strikeouts. "Like she has done all season long, Kaitlyn had great command and she moved her pitches around the strike zone very well," coach Chad McDowell said. "She had the batters guessing."
   Alyssa Henretty led the Mules (17-0) with three hits including a double, two RBIs and two stolen bases. Borcky and Molly Chew each collected two hits and two RBIs. Lindsey Lane added two hits and an RBI. Allison McDowell had a triple and two RBIs. Randi Rambo blasted a solo homer. Brianna Firlein and Sarah Frawley both contributed a hit and an RBI.

UPDATE: The Mules lost 118-6 to Garden Spot Monday.

    The Solanco baseball team's district playoff chances took a potentially fatal blow last week as the Mules suffered a pair of excruciating extra-inning losses.
   After studying the district standings over the weekend, coach Tom Fish was pessimistic about his team's chances even if they were to win their final two regular season games.
   The crushing blow came Friday when Solanco lost 15-13 to Lampeter-Strasburg in nine innings.
   The Mules scored 12 runs off Pioneers ace Cameron Enck, a University of Maryland signee, and led 12-4.
