His top pitcher and best all-around player, senior right-hander Jayson Rathgens, was struggling through the first two innings. He'd escaped major damage and Quakertown still only trailed visiting Central Bucks West by three runs in Monday's Suburban One League Continental Conference baseball clash. But at that point, Cherrybon opted to make a pitching change. And his roll of the dice worked out just fine. Senior left-hander Phil Bain allowed just one run over the next five innings, giving the Panthers a chance to catch up and eventually take the lead on the way to an exciting 5-4 victory. "I didn't like the swings (West) was getting on Jayson's fastball," Cherrybon said. "He's a power pitcher, and they've been scoring a lot of runs and they came out aggressive. He walked a few guys and even some of the outs were hard hit balls. "We were only down 3-0 and I just thought we couldn't mess around at that point or the game might get out of hand. Phil was the perfect change of pace." Bain had to get ready in a hurry. A starter in center field, Bain made a nice grab on a long fly ball to end the second, was told he was going in to pitch in the third, took an at bat and then had to rush to get his arm loose. "I just had to go on the side and warm up really fast," Bain said. "I was warming up with fastballs. I didn't get a chance to throw any curveballs." As it turned out, hot-hitting West, which came in averaging 12.5 runs per game through its first four games, cooled down a bit after going up early. "We hit a couple of balls right at people," said Bucks coach Jim Ert0el. "We hit (Bain) better when he first came in then later (in the game). He made adjustments and we didn't make any adjustments." Matt Hanson's third RBI of the game on a sacrifice fly in the fourth, gave the Bucks a 4-2 lead, but they wouldn't score again. Jake Neiman's line drive solo home run to left cut the lead to one, and then the Panthers tied it and took the lead with two in the bottom of the fifth. A RBI double by Tyler Coleman scored Luke Helm, and then Rathgens raced home from third on a wild pitch to finally put Quakertown in front. "I was kind of worried coming in like that," Bain said. "They're pretty good hitters. We just came in with better pitching and were able to hold them down so we could come back."

Quakertown seemed poised to win an important early road game at league foe Central Bucks South last Wednesday afternoon. The Panthers were in command, taking an 8-4 lead into the home half of the sixth, with the bottom of the Titan lineup due up. But CB South freshman shortstop Ben Moller made certain that the Panthers’ bus ride home wasn’t a joyous one. The Titans sent 12 men to the plate, scored a whopping nine runs and somehow squeezed out a 13-8 victory. Moller, who was 0-for-2 batting in the 9 hole through the first five innings, became a man possessed in the decisive sixth frame, registering a one-out single to jumpstart the Titans’ hit parade, stealing a base and then coming around to score CB South’s first run out of nine. Later, in the same inning, Moller connected for a three-run home run. “Thank god,” said Moller, when asked what was going through his head when he saw his big fly jump the outfield fence. “I’m glad I assured my team more runs so we could get the victory.” Rightfielder Tim Thompson actually knocked in the game-winner, plating pinch-runner Dylan Glassmire with an infield single. Moller came through with the Titans’ final three runs in the sixth. “I couldn’t be happier for him,” said skipper Mike Schaefer, in his first year at CB South, though he spent 2001-05 as the head man at Central BucksWest. “He has all the tools.” Prior to Moller’s heroics, Quakertown’s Kurt Roberts was making a strong case for game MVP honors. The tough senior pitched the first four innings, allowing just three runs, including two unearned runs in the first. At the plate, he was 3-for-4, with a double, an RBI and a run scored. Tyler Coleman also had a big day for the Panthers, missing only the triple to complete his cycle. He, along with first baseman Jake Neiman, cranked two-run home runs to center. Coleman’s automatic round-tripper in the top of the sixth accounted for the Panthers’ final two runs of the contest. From then on, it was Titan time. “We have to play with that enthusiasm the whole game,” cautioned CB South catcher Joe Mullin, who knocked in a pair against Quakertown. “We can’t just turn it on like that. We all talked about it and we’re going to start picking it up more – get the excitement going throughout the entire game instead of flipping it on at the very end when it’s do or die.” Schaefer admitted that his team appeared flat early on, but he was certainly happy to see the Titans pull out the victory. “Any time you can come back I think it says a lot about your team,” said Schaefer. “We have a group of kids that don’t want to quit.” CB South’s rally made a winner out of relief pitcher Luke Fantuzzo, who went an inning after relieving starter Dan Wasson. Senior Rich Delgato pitched a scoreless seventh. CB South leadoff man A.J. Trunk reached base his first four times up, courtesy of an error, a bases on balls and two singles. He also swiped two bases and scored two runs. Third baseman Jeff Gyza, who bats third in Schaefer’s order, reached base three times. “Any position on this team is going to be a good position,” said Mullin. “One through nine, the guys are going to hit.” It’s that balance, plus tremendous chemistry, that excites newcomers like Moller, who is the lone ninth-grader on the varsity roster. “We’re going to win it all,” he said, confidently. “We have the potential.”

By Eric Scott Correspondent (Bucks Mont Sports Now)** When it comes to rivalry games the clichés says, throw all records out the window. That certainly was the case as Quakertown strolled into Second Street Playground and knocked off the Suburban One League Continental Conference leading Pennridge Rams, 9-6. The Rams had, earlier on Saturday, clinched the conference championship with a 9-5 victory over Hatboro- Horsham. But while they celebrated their success after the opener, they may have forgotten there was a second game to be played. “We may have had a little let down after this morning’s game.” said Rams coach Tom Nuneviller. “I take responsibility for that.” Quakertown came out on fire with three hits in the top of the first, including a 3-run home run from shortstop Jayson Rathgens. Not only did Quakertown bring their bats, but they also received a complete-game gem on the mound from right-hander Mike Utterback. “Mike threw a great game today.” said Quakertown assistant coach John Markoul. “He kept telling me that he felt good and wanted to go back out there.” The only hiccup that Utterback encountered was a six run outburst by the Rams in the bottom half of the third inning. Pennridge sent 10 hitters to the plate and scored six runs to temporarily go in front. Doubles by Eric Kammler and Puskar opened the door for the big inning. “Utterback threw a great game, he really kept us quiet all day.” Nuneviller said. Then Utterback, who allowed just nine hits while striking out four really settled down after the Pennridge barrage in the third inning. “He seemed to get stronger every inning.” said Makoul. Quakertown didn’t falter with the big Rams rally, as it responded in the top of the fourth inning with two runs to move within a run and then posted four runs to take command in the bottom of the fifth. After quietly retiring Pennridge (13-3; 11-2 SOL) in order in the bottom of the seventh inning the Quakers (5-7, 5-5 SOL) had secured a big 9-6 win keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Patriots Power Their Way to Big Win //Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/29/2009 - 01:25.// By Scott Huff QUAKERTOWN – Central Bucks East shortstop Mike Damm had a good feeling about the Patriots’ SOL Continental Conference game with Quakertown when the bus rolled to a stop behind Quakertown High School.“Nobody really said anything, but we all noticed how short the fence was here,” said Damm who slammed two homers to power CB East (6-2 conference) to a 14-7 victory over the Panthers (3-3). “We all have a mindset that we can hit homeruns, and we have confidence that we can hit any pitcher.“Our whole lineup can hit,” added Damm. “From the top of the lineup to the bottom.”Damm – who led off the game with a homerun and followed with another solo shot in the fifth inning – leads off for East. And the No. 9 hitter – Ryan Pater – also blasted a two-run homer to highlight a seven-run second inning for the Patriots.“When I go up to hit I’ve always been taught to hit line drives,” said Damm. “I’m little, but I started lifting weights and I feel that I’m a lot stronger this year.”It is no accident that East – who swatted five homeruns last week in a 14-12 win over Pennridge – is hitting the long ball.“It’s nice to combine our power with a nice approach to hitting,” said Central Bucks East coach Kyle Dennis. “We walk a lot and work into hitter’s counts.”“We can’t fall behind 2-0 or 3-1 in the count against a team that can hit the way that East hits,” agreed Quakertown coach Steve Cherrybon. “The wind was blowing out today, and they got some balls into the air. They are a strong hitting team.”East took the early lead as Damm led off the game with a homer over the left centerfield fence. But it was a seven-run second inning that broke the game open. Pater roped his two-run shot over the left field fence, and the Pats received RBIs from Fred Slack, Matt Tenaglia, Tim Wessel, and Joe Hoy.CB East added three more runs in the third inning to push the lead to 11-0. Tenaglia was hit by a pitch to force in a run, and Wessel delivered a two-run single.The 11-0 score saw the exit of both starting pitchers – East’s Wessel and Quakertown’s Jason Rathgens.“It was nice to get the big early lead,” said Dennis. “Now we can use Tim later in the week.”“The only good thing about the score was that we could get Jason out of the game,” said Cherrybon. “We have four games this week, and we only used him into the second inning.” Quakertown scored three runs in the third inning. Kurt Roberts stroked a three-run homer as Bill Bain and Rahtgens scored ahead of him.East answered with a three-run fifth inning to take a 14-3 lead. Damm cranked his second homer of the game, and Hoy knocked in a run with a single. The final run came on a double play groundout.The Panthers avoided the mercy rule with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth inning on RBI singles by Jake Neiman and Mike Utterback.Quakertown would score single runs in both the sixth and seventh innings to conclude the scoring. Taylor Vandergrift drove in a run with an RBI single, and Nick Mann got an RBI groundout.The Panthers received a fine outing from sophomore pitcher Tyler Coleman. Coleman threw three shutout innings and allowed five hits.“We missed some opportunities, and they took advantage of their opportunities,” said Cherrybon as the loss snapped a three-game Quakertown winning streak. “We just have to start over tomorrow.“We have a lot of games left, and we have to put this behind us,” said Cherrybon. “You have to deal with adversity.”CB East will host Pennridge with the conference lead on the line tomorrow.“Every game is a big game – this was a big game,” said Dennis. “And tomorrow is another one.”CB EAST 1 7 3 0 3 0 0 - 14 15 1QUAKERTOWN 0 0 3 0 2 1 1 - 7 8 2Central Bucks East: Mike Damm ss 5 3 4 2; Ryan Sparks 2b 2 3 1 0; Matt Tenaglia 3b 2 2 1 2; Tim Wessel p-1b 4 1 2 3; Mike DiVona c 4 1 2 0; Joe Hoy dh 5 1 3 2; Keith Reis lf 5 0 1 0; Fred Slack rf 3 1 0 1; Ryan Pater cf 3 2 1 2.

 * //Rain, Rain, Go Away!//** The spring rains have hindered the Suburban One League baseball season. And the outcome of conference titles may be decided by which team has the most pitching depth. “Everyone is going to be playing a lot of baseball games the last couple weeks of the season,” said Quakertown coach Steve Cherrybon. “We’re going to need a lot of arms, and a lot of games are going to have to be pitched by committee.” “We have eight conference games the next two and a half weeks,” said Plymouth Whitemarsh coach Robert Slagle. “The league is wide open, and whoever can find the pitching is going to have an advantage.” “The days of having your best pitcher throw every other game are over,” said Abington coach Dave Torresani. “When you are playing four games in a week – it just can’t happen.” Therefore, conference titles may well be decided by underclass pitchers who will have to throw in critical games. Good luck coaches. **//__SUBURBAN ONE CONTINENTAL CONFERENCE__//** **//How about those Panthers?//** **Quakertown** is on a three-game win streak in the conference as the Panthers have clawed by Hatboro-Horsham, Central Bucks South, and North Penn. “This team has been a very opportunistic baseball team,” said Quakertown coach Steve Cherrybon. “We haven’t really hit all that well as a team, but we have bunched hits together and scored runs.” In the big 3-2 win over conference favorite North Penn, Quakertown managed just three hits. But the Panthers played fine defense and limited Knight scoring chances. “Some people didn’t give us much of a chance against North Penn, but that is why you have to play the games - to get a win or a loss,” said Cherrybon. “They have some good players, but by the same token, so do we.” The ace of the Quakertown staff has been junior right-hander Jason Rathgens. Rathgens – who also is hitting .400 and plays shortstop when he does not pitch – got the win against the Hatters and notched saves against both the Titans and the Knights. Two other Panthers that are swinging hot bats are junior Kurt Thomas and junior Luke Helm. “We have a lot of arms, but not too much varsity experience,” said Cherrybon. “The pitching is going to have to carry us.” Cherrybon listed Helm, along with senior Mike Butterback, senior Zach Slotter, senior Ben Ede, and sophomore Tyler Coleman as pitching candidates down the stretch. // *To view a photo gallery of Quakertown's game against Hatboro, visit the Photo Gallery at the following link // [|//http://photos.suburbanonesports.com///] //SOL CONTINETNAL CONFERENCE STANDINGS// //1.// //Pennridge Rams (6-1)////2.// //CB East Patriots (5-2)////3.// //North Penn Knights (5-4)////4.// //Quakertown Panthers (3-2)////5.// //Souderton Indians (3-3)////6.// //Hatboro-Horsham Hatters (3-4)////7.// //Central Bucks South Titans (1-4)////8.// //Central Bucks West Bucks (1-6)//

**April 8, 2009 From BucksMont Sports Now By Todd Thorpe** QUAKERTOWN - It’s been so long since they played that it almost didn’t feel like a Pennridge-Quakertown game. The cold weather didn’t help, either. But after a few innings, Quakertown started to break down an early Rams lead, the excitement on the benches heated up and the pitching was solid. In the top of the seventh, Pennridge’s Eric Kammler bashed a two-run home run for the game-winner as a great high school sports rivalry was revived. “It wasn’t exactly a knockdown, drag-out or anything like the Thanksgiving (football) game,” said Rams coach Tom Nuneviller, whose team prevailed by a 6-4 score, thanks to Kammler’s heroics in the seventh. “It just didn’t have that fire early, and it was a tough day to play because of the weather.” One of the reasons why the game may not have had the usual Pennridge-Quakertown fire was because baseball is the one sport in which the schools haven’t played on a regular basis. They’ve regularly been in different conferences, and non-league games are limited and an iffy proposition to be played at best because of weather, the rivalry took a hiatus, and the varsity squads hadn’t met during either Nuneviller’s or Quakertown coach Steve Cherrybon’s tenures. “I don’t even remember,” Cherrybon said of the last time the teams played. “Part of it was that we went to the (Suburban One League) American Conference, and it always had an extra team, so we had to play more league games, and that cuts down on non-league games we can play.” For several years, Pennridge has been part of the SOL National Conference and hadn’t had a chance of playing traditional rivals like Quakertown, Souderton and the Central Bucks schools. “Everyone always talks about (the rivalry),” said Pennridge sophomore Dylan Tice, who picked up the win on the mound, allowing just one run in two-plus innings of relief. “Now, we have a chance to play against guys that you know. It’s fun to play teams like Quakertown and Souderton.” Pennridge (3-1, 2-0 SOL) started off quickly with three runs in the second and one in the third, as Tice drove in a pair with a single in the second, and third baseman Ray Puskar had RBI singles in both the second and third. Quakertown inserted shortstop Jason Rathgens in at pitcher and he shut the door. Meanwhile, the Panthers’ offense started to get in gear, including an off-the-asphalt home run to center field by Phil Bain in the fourth, then Ben Eyre’s RBI bloop single to shallow right field to tie it at 4 in the bottom of the sixth. But with one on and one out in the seventh, Kammler blasted a first-pitch fastball to left-center and easily beat the throw in for the game-winning, inside-the-park home run. “It was cold, and it’s tough to hit the ball in the cold,” Tice said. “We got runs early and then they put in (Rathgens) and he threw really hard. We realized that we were in for a tough game.” **Pennridge 6, Quakertown 4**
