Sabe and a Beauty: Baseball team knocks off UConn-Avery Point behind sophmore’s relief gem

(Groton, CT) - Sophomore Dylan Sabia (Mahopac, NY/Iona Prep) pitched five splendid innings in relief, and Freshman Jhojandy Hernandez (Bronx, NY/Salesian) had another huge game, going 2 for 3 with 3 RBI's as the Westchester Community College Baseball team split a doubleheader with UConn-Avery Point, coming back to win the opener 9-8 before dropping the nightcap 14-1. After the split, Westchester is now 13-4. 

The opener had playoff like intensity between to teams that always seem to find each other during the post-season. UConn opened the game with two runs during the bottom of the first inning for the early lead, but a Hernandez double that scored Sean Vanegas (Bronx, NY/Mount St. Michael) and Chris Cipriano (Irvington, NY/Dobbs Ferry HS) to tie things. However, UCAP quickly scored three times in the bottom of the second inning to take a 5-2 lead. 

Enter Sabia. During more than four innings of relief, he allowed only three runs on three hits, striking out six, while throwing 93 pitches. He earned the win after giving the Vikings the opportunity to come back and win, which is exactly what they did 

The Vikings scored a run in the third and five more times during the fourth inning, the key blow being a Tyler Parshley (Carmel, NY/Carmel HS) two-run double to allow Westchester to take an 8-5 lead after four innings. The teams traded runs during the fifth inning, and then UConn scored twice in the sixth inning to make it 9-8, but would get no further. 

Sophomore Luis Gomez (Bronx, NY/St. Raymond's pitched a perfect seventh inning to earn the save. 

Vanegas went 2 for 4 with two RBI's and two runs scored. Freshman Brian McBride (Putnam Valley, NY/Putnam Valley HS went 3 for 3 with two runs scored. Also for WCC, freshman CJ Spence (Mount Vernon, NY/Mount Vernon HS) had two hits. 

The nightcap was a different story as Westchester had only three hits, and UCAP scored six runs in the second inning and seven runs during the fourth inning. The lone highlight for Westchester was a 2 for 3 day for Steve Messerschmitt (Carmel, NY/Carmel HS). 

Westchester Community College's Sunday doubleheader against Monroe College JV has been canceled due to the poor weather forecast. The Vikings return to action on Thursday, April 4 when they travel to Rockland CC for their 2019 Region XV opener.
