813Preps Baseball Round-Up 3/9/19

Sickles senior Danny Bernstein was 2-for-3 with a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in the Gryphons win over Plant City. 

Strawberry Crest 5, King 0

An Anthony Grasso RBI double in the second proved to be the difference as Strawberry Crest added some late insurance to defeat King at home on Saturday morning. The Chargers then piled it on in the sixth as Alex Mussenden hit an RBI liner to left, Tanner Kelley doubled in a pair, and Ryan Dell singled home a run. On the mound, Kade Manderscheid (three strikeouts), Colby Fanning (five strikeouts) and Bryan Boully combined to limit Lions hitters to just three hits. For King, Jacob Cordell and Matthew Johnson each hit doubles in the first and third innings respectively, but the Lions couldn't bring the runs across.
