Rams oust Mounts from Districts


ImageCentral Dauphin senior southpaw Zach Whitman rode a devastating curve to a one-hit, 10-strikeout performance and dealt the Mountaineers (16-7) their first shutout of the season, 3-0.

My catcher (Chris Albright) kept calling (for the curve) so I have to give him credit," smiled Whitman, who outdueled Zac Schnader and is now 7-1 this year. "I felt good the whole game."

Mounts coach Adrian Shelley was impressed with Whitman. "We ran into a buzzsaw," Shelley said. "I knew he had a pretty low ERA (1.54) in a league (Mid-Penn Conference) that's very respected and competitive. He was lights out tonight."

The Rams (13-10) rode a double by Tom Healy and an RBI single by Nate Shroy to a 1-0 lead in the third.

Levi Bailey's leadoff homer to right in the fourth made it 2-0. Schnader, a senior righty who surrendered eight hits and struck out seven, allowed an unearned run in the sixth when Jim Crowley reached on an error and courtesy runner Tim Hook scored on an RBI single by Mike Hartz.

The 3-0 lead proved to be more than enough for Whitman, whose no-hit effort was spoiled by Derek Sipe's third-inning single."

He carried us, he put us on his back," Rams coach B.J. Osevala said of Whitman, who owns two one-hitters and a two-hitter this season.

Shelley agreed. "(Whitman) commanded the game," he said. "We were overmatched."
