Red Raiders League start proves strong
HUNTLEY – After a break due to wet spring conditions, the Huntley baseball team started the defense of last season’s Fox Valley Conference championship.
The Red Raiders used all aspects in a 5-0 shutout at Crystal Lake Central April 4 for a 6-1 overall mark,1-0 in the FVC.
Senor Harout Meyer and junior Ryan Bakes led the offense with home runs and Ryan Bakes added another RBI.
Senior Adam Guazzo led a double-digit strikeout game with seven whiffs followed by Parker Schuring and Mike Vitttellaro, who raised the total to 11.
“Even though we struggled to score runs early, I thought our game against CLC was our most complete game offensively, defensively and pithing,” HHS coach Andy Jakubowski said. “Guazzo commanded the strike zone and we finally got the big hit from Meyer’s home run. Our bullpen, Parker Schuring and Mike Vitellaro did a great job then we were able to add runs against their bullpen, highlighted by Ryan Bakes’ home run.”
