Explorers' magical run comes to an end

CANTON- The Explorers got outstanding efforts on the mound from both Nate Andrasik and Chris Andrus, but Perry would only need two runs to make it past Hudson for a berth in the Regional Finals where they will take on Chardon.

After Perry plated their runs in the top half of the fourth on a two-run single to left, Hudson answered with a rally. However, the Explorers' rally was cut short when the boys in blue tried to duplicate the Panthers' effort. On a Will Stribrny single to left, Joey Cahill scored but Duncan Moran was cut down at the plate on a nice relay effort by Perry.

The scoring in the fourth would prove to be all there was in the game.

Hudson finished with a blistering 24-3 record and send Coach Schilling into the sunset of his tenure as patriarch and architect of the Hudson High School baseball program on one of the more improbable, yet fulfilling, seasons of his illustrious career.

Explorers top Twinsburg thrice

HUDSON- Hudson answered Twinsburg's two run top of the second inning with six runs on six hits in the bottom half to take control of the District Semifinal game. Timmy Kennedy had a clutch two-run single and Joey Cahill added an RBI single in the Explorer offensive outburst. Duncan Moran added two singles to the Hudson attack. Brian Malerick improved to a remarkable 10-0 on the season, but needed a great 2 1/3 inning save from Chris Andrus to secure the win. Hudson will meet Brunswick in the district final tomorrow at 4:30.

2012 Team Preview

The Hudson High School Explorers will be looking to defend the NOC Valley Championship and improve on last yearÂ’s 23 and 6 overall and 8 and 2 league record., Last seasonsÂ’ 23 wins were the most wins since the 1997 teams 26 wins and the 21 regular season wins were the most in school history. The team will look to avenge the disappointing 8-3 loss to Solon in the Hudson District Semi Final the road to defend became more difficult in the preseason with the loss of seniors, David Nelson and Mikey Lewandowski to season ending knee injuries. Both have had surgery and are on the road to recovery and looking forward to continuing their college careers. Lewandowski (.364, 11 D, 29 RBIÂ’s and 3 saves) was expected to move to SS and be one of the teamÂ’s starting pitchers and hit in the middle of the lineup is still looking to play college baseball at Ashland college next Spring. Nelson (.300, 5 D, 1 HR, 10 RBIÂ’S) who would had played CF, pitched and hit in the 2 hole, will rehabilitate and hopefully be ready for next fallÂ’s college football season. The team initial roster will return 7 letter winners and 7 underclassmen that saw innings at the Varsity level last season. 8 seniors, 10 juniors and 5 sophomores are battling for the 9 starting positions with the most heated competition coming in the infield. With the loss of Lewandowski and Nelson, the team returns only 1 starter with Will Stribrny.

The untested group of seniors and juniors will need to grow up quickly and will lean on the experience of the three returning seniors who started or contributed in the Outfield last season. This talented group will be led by right fielder Will Stribrny (.296, 3 D, 2 HR, 17 RBIÂ’s, 19 SB). Will plays the sun and the wind at the Ballpark in Hudson better than anyone in school history. Joining Stribrny in center field will be John Taylor (.409, 8 SB, 2 Wins) and in left field, CJ Tosino (.316, 3 D, 6 SB). Adding depth to this already talented group are Juniors Ross McLelland and Brian Snyder as well as sophomore, Joey Cahill. All six have the quickness, speed, arm strength and baseball abilities to play in centerfield running gap to gap; and in the sun and the wind of right field. Again, playing time will be based early on who is swinging the bigger and better bat, but this group will provide the coaching staff options offensively, defensively and in situations, to make us an exciting and balanced ball club. McLelland and Cahill have been hitting the ball well in the preseason and could see additional time at Designated Hitter.

As the coaching staff looks to build their defense around the guys up the middle, we must find a catcher. It will be a difficult task for this yearÂ’s group to fill the shoes of the past two starters, Two year starter Matt Ramsey who is playing collegiately at Wolford College in South Carolina and Forest Johnson who is playing at Notre Dame. The staff is waiting for a starter to emerge from a group of three. Senior Kyle Hagy, and Juniors Mitch Schoenman and Alex Tench have all showed that they have the tools to contribute from behind the plate in the first three weeks of workouts but all three have lacked the overall consistency need to handle the pitching staff and compete in the NOC Valley division.

As difficult as it will be to replace Ramsey behind the dish, it may be even more difficult to replace Nate Shaw (playing 2nd base and CF at St. Bonaventure as a freshmen) at short stop. Senior Michael Custer has been solid in the preseason workouts and will get the starting nod and will be pushed as we open the season by junior Alex Albright and sophomore, Kevin Zullo. The battle at second base remains wide open with juniors Alex Agra and Jono Chafe looking good defensively. The starter most likely will be the player swinging the hottest bat. Albright and sophomore Jared Huffman will provide depth at second base

The starting nod at the hot corner will go to junior Tim Kennedy. He has developed into a solid defensive player and handles the bat and runs well. Alex Tench could also see some time at third base and sophomore Dan Joseph will most likely start the season at the JV level but should see some action on the weekends with the varsity at the hot corner..

Senior Duncan Moran will start at the first base position. Moran has gotten off to a great start both offensively and defensively and will be counted on to carry the ball club early on. When Moran pitches, Joey Cahill, John Taylor and sophomore, Nanak Saran have shown that they can play the first base position well.

On the mound the Explorers are in search for a Number One and Number Two starter to anchor the pitching staff for the Tuesdays and the Wednesday league matchups. The staff is looking to replace three year starter Zac Edwards (pitching for St. Bonaventure College as a freshmen) and Jim Bencheck who last year combined for 11 wins in 15 starts. The pitching staff will return 6 wins and 44 innings of work from last year. Seniors RHP Duncan Moran, LHP John Taylor, RHP Nate Andrasik and juniors RHP Alex Tench, RHP Brian Malerick and RHP Jono Chafe are battling for a spot in the starting rotation while seniors LHP Chris Andrus and CJ Tosino, juniors Brian Suydam and Brian Snyder, and sophomores Nanak Saran and Kevin Zullo will providing the depth needed to compete in the Valley Division of the NOC and will battle for a spot in the starting rotation as the season progresses. Malerick continues to grow and develop into his 6’7” frame and his 85 MPH fastball is improving with every outing. He is beginning to catch the eyes of many area Division One college coaches while Saran and Zullo have been throwing free and easy but will be brought along slowly so that they can catch up from the work missed early on this preseason because of their involvement with the basketball team.

The 2012 season promises to be one of the most challenging ever. The six team NOC Valley Division, which features back to back battles with Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, Solon, Mayfield and Twinsburg; is one of the toughest around. Our traditional Tuesday / Wednesday league schedule will allow us to continue to play a competitive schedule on Friday and Saturdays throughout the season. One highlight of the season will be our fifth Annual Cancer Awareness Classic. On Friday night, April 20th, Hudson will host Wayne HS at 7 pm. On Saturday, April 21st, we will play Mentor at 11 am and Kenston to finish off the day at 7 pm.

We have reemphasized our goal to capture back to back NOC Championships, win 20 ball games and if our pitching comes together early, we hope to position ourselves for a run at the Hudson District Championship, a Regional Championship, a shot at the State final four.

The coaching staff at Hudson remains intact with longtime assistant, Buddy Dice, moving into the position of Associate Head Coach. Rounding out the Varsity staff will be Jim Nold and Paul Dudley. Former Hudson player Brad Aurand returns to the head coaching position for the JV and will be joined by former players Ryan France, Evan Horomanski and Sam Schilling. Mark Cuva returns as the freshmen head coach. Patrick Gallagher returns for his third season as the team manager and will take on the additional responsibilities of Bullpen Coach.

We hope you will drop by this spring and join us at the Ballpark in Hudson for what promises to be a very exciting season.
