SLA JV- "Real DeaLEO" Cassel-Siskind Shuts Down Boys Latin 6-1, Fans 14 in Debut
For years Boys Latin would best SLA each Spring in a scrimmage. The team their own coach claimed "wasn't very good" had always been a step ahead of their CC rivals, but times have officially changed. SLA has consistently had the upper hand for both Varsity and JV contests, and today was no different as SLA JV opened their season with a convincing 6-1 win for their 2nd year coach and former Rocket Ace Brandon Williams.
Shaion Denny got it started off by driving the first pitch Latin Ace E. Coates had to offer deep into the left center gap for a ground-ruled double. Moments prior to the at-bat he asked the umpire "what happens if the ball rolls onto the concrete in deep center?" Smiling from 2nd, Denny had his answer and remained hot the rest of the way going 3-3 with 3RBIs to fuel the Rocket offense.
Then Lefty "The Real DeaLEO" Cassel-Siskind made his debut in Rocket Blue and totally dominated with a 14-Strike Out, Complete Game performance. Scattering just 3 hits over 5 innings, the Warriors couldn't phase him even when they had runners in scoring position. A feisty side of the freshmen came out when it mattered most, and timely hits by fellow freshmen Kristian Ramos and Kenny Carroll ensured he had a comfortable cushion.
Next up for SLA JV is their home opener in Mt. Airy vs North East on Fri, 4/1. Come out in support and be able to say you were there way back when the next star Rocket players took their home field for the first time. #rocketsbaseball4life
