The Ponte Vedra Sharks baseball squad had a Spring break to remember as they won four straight games during the week with wins over Orange Park, Fletcher, Parker and Sandalwood, and doing so by an average margin of victory of 5.7 runs per game.
The stretch matches the team’s longest winning streak of the season and comes at a good time as the Sharks have rebounded from a four-game losing streak prior to the start of their current run and the momentum of the season has turned around as a result.
The Sharks enter the final eight games of the regular season back on the winning side of things with a record of 9-6 and look to continue their winning ways down the stretch.
Those winning ways have also been the norm on the softball field for the Sharks who returned from the time off during spring break with an eye-popping 9-1 record and look poised to make some noise come playoff time.
Just as impressive as their record is the way the Sharks continue to win their games, as they showcase a dynamic combination of both pitching and hitting.
Junior Aoife Weaver leads the team in hits, RBIs, and doubles at the plate and has eight wins and a 1.96 ERA in the circle.
Meanwhile, the Nease softball team has been searching for consistency throughout the season but have also come up big when it matters most as despite having a 3-7 record overall they sit atop the district 2-6A standings after having won all three of their district matchups to this point.
Miranda Harmon continues to have a memorable senior season for the Panthers, as she is the primary offensive catalyst for the team and contributes in a variety of ways with a .438 batting average with 14 runs scored, six stolen bases and four triples, all of which are team-highs.
Three seniors also lead the Nease baseball team, Jackson Garnecki and Logan Bradley, each have batting averages over .300 on the season and Fletcher Reston leads the Panthers with 11 RBIs.
Garnecki also has 47 strikeouts and a 1.5 ERA in six starts and has been a reliable presence on the mound for the Panthers. His 47 strikeouts rank fifth in all of Class 6A.
