DME Academy Middle School Baseball Team Combines for No-Hitter in Win over St. Barnabas

DME Academy’s middle school baseball team remains undefeated on the season after an impressive 10-0 win over St. Barnabas on Wednesday evening. All four of DME’s pitchers were stone-cold on the mound throwing absolute cannons, and the quartet joined up for a combined no-hitter. 

DME struck fast in the first inning with an impressive two-RBI by Jason Bruce to allow two others to score. After the first inning, DME was up 4 over their opponents. Jason Bruce was the star of the game as he got the start on the mound and guided DME to the win. He went two and two-thirds innings, allowing zero runs on zero hits while striking out 5 of St. Barnabas’ sluggers. Logan Wingard, Chase Cook, and Wrigley Zweifel worked in relief out of the bullpen, and none allowed a single hit in the historic combined no-hit effort. 

After an action-packed game, it was Logan Wingard who put the nail in the coffin, catching an easy pop fly-out to end the game. The game ended with DME’s middle school team embracing each other and cheering on their victory. 

“Every game, this young team continues to get better and better,” said Michael Main, Director of Baseball at DME Academy. “I love watching the camaraderie and skill sets of these guys enhance each day.”

DME Academy 14U Sanders Softball Team Takes Home the Trophy at the ISA Championship

They say the things that are worth it, never come easy. The same could be said for DME Academy’s 14U Sanders softball team’s road to the ISA Championship in Clermont, FL. 

The journey started with a shut-out win over the TNT 14U. Aiyanna Gerhardt threw a complete game, ending in a 13-0 win for DME. Five players, Nina Padgett, Ashley Hughes, Alondra Vincenty, Avery Veirs, and Faith Rudy, stepped up to the plate, driving in eight runs in the third inning.

DME entered the Championship game as the number two seed with an overall record of 5-1. The only thing standing between them and the trophy was the Brevard Heat 14U, and they weren’t going down without a fight.

DME pulled ahead in the second inning as their bats heated up, but it was short-lived as the Heat tied it up in the fourth. In the bottom of the fourth inning, with the game tied 3-3, Katlyn Schoeps shut down a scoring opportunity by the Heat and kept the score even. DME fought their way back in the fifth inning, regaining the lead when Padgett stopped a possible game-tying run with an incredible fly-out catch.

This spark ignited a fire when Keylee Gerhardt recorded an RBI, scoring Schoeps who had reached base on an error by the Heat. This was followed by power-hitting thanks to Reese Cianciarulo, Hughes, and Vincenty.

An amazing win made even more incredible by the teamwork each athlete displayed. Cianciarulo led the team from the batter’s box and the mound with 9 hits and a 3-1 record from the rubber.

Cianciarulo kept the Heat’s bats at bay while the rest of the team mounted a solid defense behind her.  She allowed only three runs on seven hits, striking out five with zero walks.  Cianciarulo was backed by a solid defense, led by Gerhardt who showed off impressive fielding skills.

With a final score of 6-3, DME 14U Sanders Softball team earned the trophy and the title of champion. They played hard until the very last pitch and displayed impressive skill and teamwork.

Congratulations to the DME Academy 14U Sanders Softball team on winning the ISA Championship!
