Rolnick’s slam leads Scarsdale, and more…
- April
- 30
I spent the afternoon at White Plains where Troy Rolnick was the hero. He blasted a grand slam in the top of the sixth to erase a 3-1 White Plains lead. Needless to say, it was quite the momentum-swinger for Scarsdale, which had been down in the dumps just a few days ago according to coach Doc Scholl. Sometimes a win like this is all it takes.
You can watch a replay of Scarsdale-White Plains here.
In other news, John Jay-EF and Arlington returned the favor to Mahopac and Carmel today and Brewster and Panas both won one-run games in the seventh, Panas on a two-out walkoff hit by Miguel Arroyo.
