Massachusetts Spotlight Game: Pingtree vs Nobles

In a non league game, 2-4 Noble and Greenough School took on the 4-7 Pingree School at Bentley University for the first time this season. A young, talented Nobles team showed some serious pop in their bats which hopes for a bright future.

In the bottom of the first Nobles had a spark produced two runs coming from a couple of singles from junior DH Jason Medeiros and senior OF Phil Barnett (Williams commit) scoring junior IF/RHP Dylan McNary and Medeiros himself.

Pingree’s senior RHP Jack Landers was able to throw a pair of scoreless innings keeping the game close before Nobles got some base runners who with some aggressive baserunning made the game 7-1 at the end of 4.

Pingree’s senior 3B Matthew Suny came back in the top of the sixth with a single and was brought around the diamond with a couple of walks moving him forward and a single by sophomore OF Vito Visconti.

Nobles IF/RHP Dylan McNary was able to get out of the jam with two strikeouts and quickly closed the door sitting down the top of the Pingree order.

Top Performers

Nobles

• Dylan McNary, Jr, IF/RHP - a slender IF with room to fill out showed a solid approach at the plate and ability to find a way on. Very aggressive baserunner. Works fast and throws from a ¾ slot. Natural athlete that is all about competing
• Cole Koeppel, So, RHP - long lanky RHP that has a tight BB. Makes big pitches at big times and is going to be an interesting prospect to follow as he gets older.
• Matt Venuto, So, C - strong stocky build that showed soft hands behind the plate with the ability to square anything up. Advanced catch and throw skills.
• Phil Barnett, Sr, OF/RHP (Williams commit) - long slender gamer that has the ability to hit to all fields. Had a hit and a couple stolen bases on the day.
• Jason Medeiros, Jr, DH - player with a strong build that has a simple linear swing. Lots of pop off bat. Had a couple stolen bases on the day. Natural competitor

Pingtree

• Vito Visconti, So, CF - showed a simple base hit swing that showed an approach during all AB’s. Showed off a plus arm from the OF while having two singles on the day.
• Matthew Suny Sr, 3B - showed a plus arm from 3B while producing a hit. Always hustling.
• William Varsano, So, C - sound hands behind the dish with a swing that produces hard hit balls. Had a hit on the day. Interesting prospect.
