Chatham 4, Germantown 1
CHATHAM — Chatham hosted Germantown Tuesday in a preseason baseball scrimmage in which the Panthers won 4-1.
“We’re making good progress,” said Chatham coach Scott Steltz after his team’s final scrimmage before the regular season begins. “We have improved our fielding and our pitchers threw a lot of strikes to get ahead of the batters.”
Germantown tossed seven pitchers on the mound and coach Gary VanOrt was very pleased with what he saw from his young staff.
“I am very happy with the way the guys pitched today. It’s a good sign whenever you only give up four runs to a team like Chatham,” said VanOrt. “If we can keep all of our opponents to four runs or below then we should get a lot of wins. We just need to improve our hitting and a couple things in the field.”
Germantown opens up the regular season at home Thursday in a CHVL contest against Loudonville-Christian at 4 p.m. Chatham travels to Greenville Friday to open up Patroon Conference play at 4 p.m.
