Whitman vs. Einstein Game Summary PDF
By Dick Keil.

After waiting an extra two hours to play the Albert Einstein Titans because of a scheduling mix-up at Einstein, the Walt Whitman Vikings wasted no time in taking control of the game, scoring four first-inning runs and seven in the second on their way to a 20-0, five-inning win Thursday.

Whitman, 2-0, totaled 20 hits for the game and put the contest out of reach by scoring six of their second-inning runs with two outs. They added eight in the third and a single run in the fourth.

The Vikings’ offensive onslaught was led by senior catcher Danny Lee and junior infielder James Dionne, each of whom had three hits. Whitman’s quick lead allowed Coach Joe Cassidy to experiment with multiple substitutions.

Senior Brett “Double Threat” Morgenstern’s performance was typical; he began the game in left field, and, while collecting three hits, also took over for Lee behind the plate during the final two innings.

As dominant as Whitman was on offense, the pitching and defense also impressed for the second day in a row. The Vikings did not make an error in the field, and sophomore Michael Flack pitched two no-hit, scoreless innings to earn the victory.

Flack was followed by junior Ross Peterson, who pitched a scoreless third inning; senior Sam Sharpe pitched a one-two-three fourth.

The Whitman staff’s no-hitter came to an end in the fifth, when Einstein first baseman Danny Stouffer led off with a single off of sophomore Ryan McGill. Stouffer was the only Einstein base runner to reach second or third, advancing on a pair of groundouts. He was stranded there when McGill recorded a strikeout to end the game.

Whitman’s next game is Monday, at 3A Clarksburg. That game starts at noon, in a nod to Spring Break in the Montgomery County Public School System, which begins Monday.
