Wick Eisenberg, the Quaker’s ace pitcher, took the mound against Mount Carmel to capture his seventh victory of the year. The junior lefthander gave up one hit in five shutout innings. In their previous matchup Eisenberg went seven shutout innings against the Cougars to earn a 1-0 victory.
Friend junior Austin Lasky broke up a 0-0 game with a stand up double, off the left field fence, to score Eisenberg and give the Quakers a 1-0 lead in the fifth. Kelly Dayton and Jerry Donabedian followed with base hits and both scored when senior Matt Frost drilled a two-run triple. Ultimately, the Quakers scored five times in the inning and went on to a 6-3 victory.
Lasky finished the game 2-for-3 with a RBI, Donabedian and Eisenberg were each 2-for-4 with a RBI and sophomore Matt Vaselkiv was 3-for-4 with a RBI.
On Wednesday, the Quakers took on Glenelg Country with senior Mike Meshulam on the mound and pitching Friends to its 14th win of the year.
Meshulam went three innings giving up only three hits and 1 earned run. The visiting Dragons grabbed an early 2-1 lead, but Friends answered in the second with consecutive hits from Donabedian, James Sakamoto-Wengel and Vaselkiv. Senior Bradley Kolodner followed with a bases load single to tie the game at two.
The bases remained loaded, but only for a minute, as Lasky continued his dominance at the plate with a stand up three-run triple. Lasky has been on a tear at the plate and finished this two game stretch with five hits in six trips, three doubles, a triple and six RBI.
The Quakers added four more runs in the third and two in the fourth to put the game, as they won 13-3.
Vaselkiv came on to relieve Meshulam in the fourth and pitched two shut-out innings with four strikeouts.
Bradley Kolodner had a big day at the plate for Friends, going 3-for-3 with two, while James Sakamoto went 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI.
The Quakers will now turn their full attention to Friday and a first-place showdown with St. Vincent Pallotti.
