the last 6 innings, 1 over the minimum, striking out 6 and walking
none.

Copp Impressive in Debut
April 30, 2002
Sophomore Ryan Copp threw
5 shutout innings in his first varsity
start as a pitcher, allowing
just 2 hits, while striking out 5
and walking none. The Rangers
scored 7 runs in the second and
coasted to a 10-0 win over
the Lakers which was stopped after
5 innings because of the
mercy rule. The game was played in Lake
Region because Greely's field
was not playable due to the recent
rain.
Senior John Blackie got the
offense going with a RBI triple in
the second. Aron Brooks followed
with a RBI single, and Ryan Burke
and Nick Curato added RBI
doubles in the second. Brent Lemieux
added a two run homer in
the fourth and Halsey Lea doubled and
scored on John Blackie's
fielder's choice to cap the scoring.

Close to a loss, Greely gets a win
April 24, 2002
By PAUL BETIT Staff Writer

CUMBERLAND
— After giving the game away for six innings Wednesday, the Greely
baseball team decided to take it back. Mark Baumer belted a three-run
homer in the bottom of the seventh to pull the unbeaten Rangers
into a tie.
Then
Ryan Copp came through with a clutch hit in the bottom of the
eighth to propel Greely to a 7-6 victory against previously unbeaten
Gorham in a Western Maine Conference game.
|
|
| Eric
Tanguay of Gorham steals second base Wednesday as Ryan Copp
of Greely struggles to control the ball. Greely scored three
runs to tie the game in the seventh inning, then won it in
the eighth to remain undefeated. |
"We
did not play our best baseball in the first six innings," said
Greely Coach Derek Soule. "We were sloppy."
As
the Rangers came to their final at-bat in the seventh, Soule challenged
them.
"I
challenged them to show me they were competitors, to show me some
pride," he said, "and they showed a lot to me in the
bottom of the seventh and the bottom of the eighth."
Gorham
(4-1) took a 6-3 lead into the seventh, but it wasn`t enough.
After
Sam Nelson of Greely (4-0) reached on Gorham`s fourth error and
Brent Lemieux singled to center, Baumer tied it. He pulled a fastball
to the deepest part of the field in left for his first homer of
the season.
"It
was 3-and-1 so I was looking for a fastball," he said. "I
got it a little up so I could drive it."
In
the eighth, Lemieux started the winning rally after two outs by
lining a bad-hop double down the left-field line for his third
hit of the game.
After
Baumer was walked intentionally, Copp ended the game by lining
a shot over the head of the left fielder to bring Lemieux home.
"The
last couple of innings were clutch," said Lemieux, who scored
three runs. "Everyone who came to the plate came through."
Losing
pitcher Andy Jenkins limited the Rangers to three hits in the
first six innings. His teammates built a three-run lead mainly
on Greely mistakes.
The
Rams scored three runs in the fifth to take the lead for the first
time.
With
two outs, Andrew Portwine reached on an error and moved to third
when Dustin Spiller`s fly fell in among three fielders in left.
An
error on a grounder to short produced one run. A walk and Joel
Kerschner`s two-run single made it 4-3.
Gorham
added a run in the sixth on singles by pinch-hitter Tom Barks
and Eric Tanguay, a hit batsman and Spiller`s grounder to second.
The
Rams made it 6-3 in the seventh on Ian Schmidt`s double and an
error on Jared Gardner`s grounder to third.
"To
tell you the truth, I was a little embarrassed during the first
six innings," said Soule. "Right now I`m feeling pretty
good. I really like how they responded in the face of adversity,
so I can`t complain too much."

Balanced Attack Carries Rangers
in Opener
April 12, 2002
Opening day at Greely High School
and the
Rangers revealed their new potent
line-up.
The Rangers scored in every inning
and put
the Poland Knights away 11-0
in a game stopped
after four and a half innings
because of
the mercy rule.
The Rangers had 19 runners reach
base in
their 4 offensive half innings,
including
10 hits. The Rangers got things
going early.
In the first, seniors Sam Nelson
and Brent
Lemieux singled, clean-up hitter
Mark Baumer
was hit by a pitch and sophomore
Ryan Copp
followed with a hard single to
left to drive
in the first two runs of the
year. In the
second, junior Ryan Burke and
senior John
Blackie scored on an error and
Baumer drove
in the fifth run with a long
triple down
the left field line. The Rangers
blew the
game open in the bottom of the
third. Juniors
Halsey Lea and Aron Brooks and
Sam Nelson
each had singles and Ryan Burke
added a RBI
double to highlight the four
run inning.
In the bottom of the fourth,
junior Nick
Curato ripped a RBI triple to
the gap in
left and Ryan Copp scored on
John Blackie's
fielder's choice to cap the scoring.
In between, Senior co-captain
Brent Lemieux
was sharp on the mound. In five
innings of
work Lemieux allowed just one
infield single
and 1 walk while striking out
four. Brent
threw just 66 pitches, 45 for
strikes.
