Salem baseball team goes 1-2 in spring break trek to Cincinnati

  An 11-7 season-opening victory over Chaminade Julian (OH)  on April 8 highlighted the Salem High School baseball team's spring-break journey to Cincinnati last week.

  Senior hurler Chris Kordick was brilliant in the win, limiting Chaminade to one run and three hits in five innings of work. Sophomores Scott Theisen and Matt Constance pitched well in relief for the Rocks.

  Kordick also ripped three hits and knocked in two runs. Also shining at the plate were senior catcher Nick Leventis (two hits, inside-the-park home run) and senior first baseman Tate Theisen, who knocked in three runs.

  The Rocks dropped a 7-1 decision to Chaminade in the nightcap of the double-header. Mike Weingrot went the first three innings on the mound and suffered the loss. Senior righty Eric Lorber was strong in relief, yielding just four hits and two runs over the final four innings.

  Kordick registered the Rocks' lone RBI.

  On April 9, the Rocks lost, 8-1, to Milford (OH). Korey Streck started and took the loss while Kordick brought home the only Salem run. The Rocks were victimized by six unearned runs.
