Daily Recap: Monday, April 15th

Baseball:

Indian Hills 6, Pascack Valley 3

On the Monday after spring break, Pascack Valley was back on the diamond with their ace Ryan MacNaughton on the mound.

However, their opponent was a tough one. Indian Hills came into the game with a 5-1 record and have been playing solid baseball as of late.

With that being said, Pascack Valley started the game on a great note. They scored two runs in the first inning with the RBIs coming from Colin O’Shea and Ryan Orr.

The Indians added another run in the second, when Kevin Dehn knocked in a run by reaching on an error. At the time, Pascack Valley seemed to be cruising their way back to a .500 record at 4-4.

That all changed in the Top of the 6^th. MacNaughton had been rolling all game until he gave up a game tying three run home run to the Indian Hills clean up hitter. All of the sudden, the game was tied.

After failing to score in the bottom half of the sixth, Indian Hills took their turn at bat in the 7^th. After a couple of Indian errors and a couple of base knocks, Indian Hills ended up scoring three runs in the final frame to take a 6-3 lead.

Despite have the lead off runner on to start the 7^th, Pascack Valley couldn’t muster across three runs and suffered their 5^th loss of the season.

This one might still for a little while because of the opportunities the Indians had to claim a huge win. Without one swing of the bat, Pascack Valley would be looking at a season changing win and momentum that could carry them throughout the season.

They will now have to find that momentum elsewhere, starting with their game on Wednesday against Paramus Catholic.

Record: 3-5

Next Game: Wednesday, April 17^th at 4:15 PM against Paramus Catholic

Softball:

Indian Hills 1, Pascack Valley 0

Pascack Valley played on of the best teams in North Jersey on Monday afternoon and almost pulled off another improbable upset.

Unfortunately, the Indian Hills pitcher got the best of freshman pitcher Alex Pleasic in their pitching duel and Indian Hills held on for the 1-0 win.

Pascack Valley (5-2), who is now ranked #19 in the Top 25 Softball rankings, should not be disappointed in their performance.

They now know they are play with and beat the best teams in the county and should have the confidence to do so going forward.

Record: 5-2

Next Game: Wednesday, April 17^th at 4:15 PM against Paramus Catholic (Home)
