"Zach pitched well to win the ball game." according to Coach Terrence Legree of Bishop Ford Memorial High School. Unfortunately for Zachary Calabrese (#22) "Zach", the defense gave no support, for the team had only nine players and most of the Falcons were playing out of their positions, as ten Falcons arrived at the Parade Ground field 4, but, the other nine watched one of their own got carried away by EMS to the hospital due to pre-game warm up injury.
As well as Zach pitched a good seven innings of baseball, Saint Francis Preparatory’s own Chris Fesler (30) did a magnificent job holding the Falcons scoreless for the lasting of the game. He registered nine strike outs, two hits and two walks. He got into trouble in the bottom second inning, but quickly got out of it on a costly running mistake by one of the Falcons.
Coach Justin Kelly confidently watches his Franciscan righty throwing almost ninety pitches on the mound. Classifying Fesler as one of the two top pitchers in his rotation, Kelly feels confident that the 2008 Franciscans is the team to reckon with in the CHSAA Junior Varsity “A” Division, as his offence, led by first baseman Michael Donofrio (26) who went three for three, including a double in the fourth to drive in a run, his second of the day.
Catcher James Paskor (20), who caught the whole game contributed big with two hits. His biggest of the day, a single in the fourth that scored two runs.
