Walk‑Off Drama and Pitching Mastery
In the latest contest, junior catcher Rich Riccio delivered the decisive RBI in the bottom of the ninth, sparking a 3‑2 walk‑off victory over Arlington Catholic and underscoring his clutch pedigree.
Starter Daniel Delk set the tone on the mound, logging 4 ⅔ innings while surrendering just two earned runs on three hits and four walks, striking out four batters in the process.
Reliever Ethan Cleveland then shut the door, tossing 4 ⅓ scoreless frames, allowing only three hits and no walks while fanning four opponents.
Harry Tingley Prince continued to dazzle at the plate, going 4‑for‑7 over the past week with two home runs, two triples and five RBIs, a performance that helped lift the team to a No. 6 ranking in the latest MIAA Division 2 power poll.
The Spartans’ recent surge, highlighted by solid hitting from Bubba Garcia and a balanced pitching rotation, positions them as a formidable contender as the postseason approaches.
