As we head into the final week of the regular season of the 2016/2017 WH Athletic season here is the very latest on our spring teams.
1) The baseball squad became the fifth Whitman-Hanson team to win a league championship by holding of Silver Lake 6-5 on Saturday. Senior Co-Captain Luke Tamulevich took the ball for just his second start of the season and went 5 plus innings leading the Panthers to their first league title since 2006. The Keenan Division Champs answered after Silver Lake scored 1 run in the top of the first inning, as Tamulevich singled sharply to left, stole second, and scored on a Jason Green single.
Whitman-Hanson scored 5 runs in the bottom of the fourth to make the score 6-1 and then held on. Senior John Murphy came in to relieve Tamulevich in the top of the sixth as Silver Lake came back and made the score 6-4. S-L scored one in the top of the seventh before Murphy retired the side for the win and the league championship. Whitman-Hanson is now 13-4 overall and finished 12-3 in the Keenan Division of the Patriot League.
Fall Cheerleading, Winter Cheerleading, Girls Hockey and Boys Basketball are the other 4 teams to win titles this year. The baseball team has 3 games left in the regular season before beginning tournament play after Memorial Day.
2) The softball team punched their post season ticket Friday by beating Quincy, 8-4. The team collected 12 hits and defeated Quincy 8-4 to clinch a state tournament berth. Emily Cook and Colleen Hughes split the game on the mound and combined for 5 hits 4 RBIs and 4 Runs. Kelly Burke went 2-4 with an RBI 3B. Julia Donovan went 2-2 with an RBI and R.
