Week 9 Diamond Notes

In one of Amherst’s most competitive games of the year, Blaskowski willed them to a win over Power 25 member Mosinee. Blaskowski twirled a complete game gem as he scattered just three hits, and gave up just one earned run to quite a talented Mosinee lineup. With this win, Blaskowski kept Amherst undefeated going into the WIAA playoffs.

A few weeks back, Capomaccio earned POTW honors with an absolutely stellar week. Last week he continued his solid play with great performances on both sides of the ball. At the plate, he tallied five hits, one of which was a grand slam, and also stole five bases. Capomaccio was also the starting pitcher NDA in their opening round of playoffs and in his start he twirled a gem across his five innings of work as he struck out nine to earn the win. 

Flugaur has been a key piece for Franklin throughout the season, and he kept it up last week. In his 13 at-bats, Flugaur tallied six hits to finish with five RBIs. He also added in four runs scored and four stolen bases to help Franklin to a series sweep over Racine Case. 

Last Thursday, Iwinski was flat out dominant for Franklin in their win over conference foe Racine Case. On the mound he twirled a no-hit gem across his 6 ⅔ innings and also tallied nine strikeouts. Iwinski also strung together a solid week offensively as he recorded five hits and also stole two bases as well.

Jaschinski was a key part of Verona’s upset win over Arrowhead. In the first game of the double-header sweep, Jaschinski twirled a one hit gem in the 4-0 win. Throughout his complete game efforts, he struck out eight and allowed just three walks. This isn’t the first stellar outing he has had this year either as he has only allowed one earned run in his 26 innings this season.
