Yes, opened the season 3-0 then after the break dropped a 3-2 game in extra to Bayside. Every game will be tough, but next week the Eagles will face Kellam and PA respectivelly.
Landstown is a pitching and defensive (when on) team first with good overall team speed. If you have not been to Landstown wgarlick; the field is a symmetrical high school field:
Lines-320 Power-alleys 358 and center at 380 with a 10x15-20 batters eye screen.
Cameron Butler C/P: Senior Hits for high-average with some pop(4 HR)
Raymond Mance SS: Senior streaky-hitter; has a HR
Kyle Lawhorn P/2b/SS: Junior contact-hitter (bat stays in the zone long) that will occasionally find a gap; draws alot of BB's
Robert Perkins 3B/Utility: Junior punch-hitter and very quick; has a HR this year.
Cameron Day OF/DH: Sophmore hits the ball hard and starting to learn how to drive the ball deep;1HR
... other player have contributed in various games coming through with clutch hits such as: Juniors Julious Scott, Colton Langejans and Mike Fedunewiecz
(CF that can cover alot of ground and make those web gems)
A magor setback to the team was the lost of Freshman
Scott Hurrell; the kid can hit with some pop. But several Freshman have seen substantial playing time in Michael Curry and Jeremy Sandifer making considerable contributions.
When the Landstown players take the field you may start wondering when is the Varsity team going to show; we do not have alot of size(with exception to Day, Sandifer and Hurrell) in comparison to other Beach Teams.
