LEHMAN TWP. — Holy Redeemer’s pitching did it again to Lake-Lehman.
This time it was Cody Quaglia. The junior righty threw a one-hitter and struck out seven as the Royals shut out Lehman 4-0 Thursday in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 baseball game.
Redeemer (6-0 Div. 2, 9-1 overall) stayed in sole possession of first place. Only Wyoming Area (5-1 Div. 2, 6-6) is within striking distance.
Quaglia retired the final 14 batters he faced and benefited from flawless defense during the stretch.
“The slider was working really well for me,” Quaglia said. “It was rough at the start because the wind was picking up and it moved my pitches in certain spots that I really didn’t mess with.
“Once I felt the mound and just got my rhythm, my guys had my back. I only had only seven strikeouts, so my guys behind me had my back the whole time.”
Lehman (4-3 Div. 2, 8-5) had its only hit in the second inning when Jake Evans led off with a single to left. The Black Knights had four base runners all game and were shut out for the first time this season.
In two losses to Redeemer, Lehman hit .063 (3-for-48) and scored a total of two runs.
“All our guys just throw really well,” Redeemer coach Ryan Knowles said. “That’s just the strength of our team our pitching. It really is.”
Lehman starter Chris Sholtis threw six strong innings in a 3-2 loss to Redeemer on April 2. He retired the first two batters Thursday on two pitches, but Redeemer managed to get a run in the first on a single by Drew Cisney.
The Royals added another run in the second on a sacrifice fly by Alex Gordon. The score was set up by a double steal by Dom Marranca and Zach Schultz.
Sholtis departed the mound with two outs in the third after an error allowed Redeemer to score two unearned runs.
“Cody threw a gem today,” Lehman coach Mike Sholtis said. “He was on and Chris was off.”
Redeemer will get its first crack at Wyoming Area on May 3 at home. The teams play at Wyoming Area three days later.
