Starting their season off right, the Southern Lehigh baseball team is now 5-3. They have high expectations this year and were eager to get their year started.
Beating Central Catholic 1-0 in the first game of the year, the Spartans earned Head coach Todd Miller his 200th career win. Junior Nikos Milios had the teams only RBI of the game in the fourth inning. Pete Long was the winning pitcher with two strikeouts and one walk.
“It was pretty cool to win Coach Miller his 200th win,” senior Pat Rhoads said. “Its nice to be a part of something special like that.”
The Spartans leading pitcher, Pete Long, is currently three-zero on the season with 11 strikeouts and four walks. Nikos Milios is leading the team with eight runs batted in.
“The goal has been the same from the start,” junior Trevor Musselman said. “We show up and work hard everyday, so we can win.”
Are they doing everything they can to win a championship?
“We need to practice hard just as if we are playing a game,” Tyler Mann said. “We need to play every game, every inning, every pitch like it’s our last. The little things will take us far.”
With six starters returning, the Spartans are looking for them to step up to help them win the championship.
According to sophomore Preston Amato, “Not one player is more important than the other; we need a group effort to win a championship.”
