Game Highlights |
| 3/25 | Strongsville | won | 13-3 | 1-0 |
The 2023 varsity baseball schedule opened on Saturday, 3/25 as the Comets faced off against the Strongsville Mustangs, in what turned out to be a windy, but sunny day on the baseball diamond @ Kremcheck Stadium. Mason scored early and often as they routed the Mustangs with a 13-3 run rule victory in 6 innings. Bryce Brannon (junior) toed the rubber on Saturday afternoon for the Comets and kept the Mustang offense at bay for the majority of the game, in which he allowed one run on two hits and struck out 6 batters in only 4 innings of work. Brannon notched his first career varsity win (1-0). Ben Hanley (freshman) and Andrew Visconti (sophomore) got their first career appearances as they closed out the remaining two innings. The Comets offense jumped into gear as they plated 4 runs in the first two innings to get the wheels rolling. The fourth inning is when the Comets did their damage, as they blew the game open and scratched across 6 runs. Mason finished the 5th and 6th innings by plating another 3 runs and ending the game after 6 innings by run rule. The offense was led in large part by Sean Krueckeberg (senior) who was responsible for 3 RBI on 2 singles, Drew Cox (senior) with a triple and 2 RBI, Jake Hanley (junior) had 2 RBI on 3 singles, and Mark Rutherford (junior) who racked up 2 RBI on a double to the Left Center gap. Nick Stroud (senior) also had a double down the left field line and Michael Murphy (senior) and Alex Koelling (junior) round out the stat sheet with 1 RBI each. SEE INDIVIDUAL STATS BELOW...

The Mason Comets hosted the Lakota East Thunderhawks March 27th on a breezy Monday afternoon to kick off GMC Conference play. What started as a pitchers duel quickly turned into a one-sided offensive explosion, as the Comets defeated the Thunderhawks 10-0 en route to a 5 inning run rule. Jake Hanley (JR) got the start for Mason, dealing a one hit shutout through four innings, striking out 7 batters and picked up his first career varsity win as a Comet. Quinten Kaylor (SR) made a one inning appearance and promptly got a smoothly-turned 5-4-3 double play from a sliding Mark Rutherford to thwart any comeback attempt from the Thunderhawks. The Comets offense came alive in the bottom of the third inning, started by centerfielder Casey Doner (JR). Followed by two singles by Drew Cox (SR) and Jake Hanley. With the bases loaded, Michael Murphy (SR) got the Comets on the board with a single up the middle, which scored both Doner and Cox. Anthony Sulek (JR) struck for a two-out single that scored Jake Hanley. The Comets executed a perfect 1st and 3rd to score the fourth run of the inning. After a quick 1-2-3 from Jake Hanley, Mason’s offense doubled their runs thanks in large part to a 3 run, opposite field Homerun from Michael Murphy. Adding an additional two runs in the bottom of the 5th inning sealed the run-rule for Mason, as the Comets extended their record to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in the G.M.C. |

The Mason Comets traveled to Lakota East High School on Wednesday afternoon for Game 2 against the Thunderhawks. Much like game one between the GMC rivals, the pitchers were matched in a duel, that led to two quick and scoreless innings. Mason started the scoring with a run in each of the 3rd and 4th innings and ended the game with a monstrous 8 run 5th inning, as the Comets defeated the Thunderhawks 10-0 en route to a 5-inning run rule. Michael Bilo (JR) got the start for the Comets, going 3 2/3 innings and picking up the victory. Sean Krueckeberg (SR) relieved Bilo in the bottom of the 3rd inning, with the game still close, to record his first save of the season. Anthony Sulek (JR) got the scoring started with a single to LF to score Sean Krueckeberg and the Comets never looked back from there, as Michael Murphy (SR) added to the scoreboard with an RBI single to Left Center to score Nick Stroud. Sulek began the big 5th inning with a lead off triple that sparked the Comets’ offense. Mark Rutherford (JR) followed with a double to center, Nick Stroud (SR) singled in a run, Drew Cox (SR) singled in a run, Jake Hanley (JR) tripled in another run and the Comets continued to swing the sticks to add 3 more runs. Sean Krueckeberg took the mound in the bottom of the 5th and slammed the door to seal the 10-0 victory for the Comets. Mason moves to 3-0 on the season and 2-0 in the Greater Miami Conference. The Comets will travel to Hamilton on Friday to take on the Big Blue in game 1 of the series. WP: Michael Bilo – 3.67 IP – 1 K – 4 H SV: Sean Krueckeberg – 1.33 IP – 2K – 0 H J.

Poor weather led to the cancelation of the Mason vs Hamilton matchup on Friday. The poor weather also happened to carry over to Saturday’s match-up between the Mason Comets and the St. Ignatius Wildcats out of Cleveland. With wind gusts reaching 30+ mph, offense and runs were at a premium early on for both teams, but the Wildcats outscored the Comets 16-5 en route to a 5-inning run rule. After trailing 1-0 after the top of the 1st, the Comets got their offense rolling as Drew Cox (SR) lead off with a Homerun to RC. The Wildcats would struggle with the leather, fielding 3 errors and allowing the Comets to take a 4-1 lead after one inning. The Wildcats would take over the game from this point forward, scoring 4 runs in the 2nd, 7 runs in the 3rd and 4 more runs in the 4th. The only remaining bright spot for the Comets offense came off the bat of Michael Murphy who tagged a no-doubt Homerun over the RC field fence. The 5th would be a scoreless inning as the Wildcats shut the door on the Comets and leave town with a 16-5 run rule victory over Mason. The Comets will look to shake off this early season loss as they travel to Hamilton on Monday for a GMC Matchup in game one of the series.
Next up, Mason (3-1, 2-0) will visit Hamilton TODAY, Monday, April 3rd. The Comets will return the favor and host Big Blue on Tuesday. |

But “lightning” would strike again in the Comet 5th inning thanks to a double from Jake Hanley that would plate Brad Hart and move Drew Cox into scoring position. Sean Krueckeberg would dig into the box and launch a tiple into deep centerfield, scoring both Drew Cox and Jake Hanley, which extended the Comet lead to 5-1.

Brannon would only go 1 inning before the lightning delayed the game and shut Bryce down for the evening. The Comets fought through the adversity on defense thanks in large part to Michael Murphy who pitched 3 perfect innings (9 batters faced, no hits, no walks and 5 strikeouts). Michael Bilo would later come in and match Murphy, throwing 3 innings of no-hit baseball and close the door on the Highlander offense, who only managed 1 run on 3 hits. Sean Krueckeberg and Jake Hanley would both be awarded with the Reds Future Showcase MVP. Mason would leave UC with a 5-1 victory and an opportunity so sweep Oak Hills on Monday.

Monday was a cold, overcast and windy day for a ballgame, but it did not stop the Comets from improving their 1st place GMC record. The Comets did not play their best baseball of the season but fought through the conditions and a couple of defensive errors to beat the Highlanders 4-2. After being relieved from the game on Friday due to an elongated lightning delay, Bryce Brannon got another opportunity to pitch against the Highlanders. Bryce would deal 3 innings of no run baseball before being replaced by Quinten Kaylor, who pitched 2.2 innings, giving up two runs and getting a huge ground ball double play to end the Highlander threat. Sean Krueckeberg would come in to close out the game and pick up his 3rd save of the season. Mason’s offense was a little sluggish out of the gate but got things going in the 3rd inning and capitalized on a couple of defensive errors from the Highlanders. Drew Stevens and Brad Hart would both reach base from an error and a bunt single. Drew would be driven in by an RBI from Jake Hanley. Michael Murphy was walked setting up a 1st and 3rd opportunity for Sean Krueckeberg, who delivered a line-drive missile into RF, which scored Brad Hart. Nick Stroud would come up clutch with an RBI single up the middle to extend the Comet lead to 3-0 after three innings of play. Oak Hills would scratch two runs across to bring the game within one run. The Comets would respond with one run of their own as Alex Koelling would drive in a run with a single to right center field. The Comets never looked back after increasing their lead. Mason leaves the ballpark with another GMC sweep and a victory over the Highlanders, 4-2. The Comets will host the Middletown Middies on Wednesday to open up another GMC series. Monday’s victory is of special importance, as Head Coach Curt Bly notched his 200th career victory in his 10 seasons (9 played – 2020 Covid) at the helm of the Mason Comet Baseball Program. Curt is as dedicated to his program as any coach in the state of Ohio. A legacy coach who prides himself, not only instructing the intricacies of the game of baseball but setting his players up for success in life. Congratulations Coach Bly on your 200th victory! #45040
