Son in the sun

Salem CC wins a pair of games to even record on Florida swing, son of former major-leaguer pitches final inning of nightcap

By Riverview Sports News

AUBURNDALE, Fla. – Salem CC baseball coach John Holt had been waiting to hand Fernando Rodney Jr. the ball for more than a year. He got the chance Friday.

Rodney, the son of the former MLB All-Star pitcher, was coming off an injury and finally made his Salem debut in the fifth inning of the Mighty Oaks’ 14-3 rout of Oakton in their second game of the day.

His dad, who played for 11 major-league teams and was known for the crooked way he wore his cap, spoke to the team before they beat North Dakota State College of Science 11-1 in their first game of the day.

Rodney, a right-hander just like his dad, came in behind starter Pat Seitzinger with the Mighty Oaks safely ahead of Oakton 14-1 after four innings. It was his job to close out the run-rule victory.

He didn’t give up a hit, but walked the bases loaded and was charged with two unearned runs that scored on a two-out error. He struck out one. He faced seven batters and threw 31 pitches, consistently hitting between 77 and 82 mph.

Yen Rodriguez highlighted the NDSCS game with a grand slam in the fourth inning off a 68-mph changeup. Chris Kelly had two hits and two RBIs and Tim Bowlby drove in a pair of runs. Seth McCormick pitched all five innings, giving up five hits, a run and striking out six.

Matt Murphy led the hit parade in the Oakton game, going 3-for-4 with four RBIs. He had two doubles and all four of his RBIs in a 10-run first inning that decided the game.

Bowlby went 2-for-2 with two RBIs; Cole Dawson, Demetrius DeRamus and Kelly all had two hits; and Lee Rodriguez drove in two runs.

The Mighty Oaks are now 4-4 on the Florida swing after winning their last four games.

AUBURNDALE, Fla. – Salem CC baseball coach John Holt is starting to see signs of his team coming around.

The Mighty Oaks scored the first wins of their Florida swing Wednesday when they swept Northland Community & Technical College 6-0 and 15-8.

“I think we’ve turned a corner,” Holt said.

Jared Vandersteur and J.D. Wilson combined on a four-hit shutout in the opener. Vandersteur went the first six and struck out six before Wilson set the Lumberjacks down in order with smoke in the seventh.

The Mighty Oaks took control of the game with a three-run second inning.

The bats came alive in the nightcap. The Mighty Oaks collected 14 hits. Matt Murphy had two hits and five RBIs, Demetrius DeRamus had two hits and three RBIs and Yen Rodriguez had two hits and two RBIs. Cole Dawson had a pair of doubles.

Murphy hit a three-run homer in the fifth, Rodriguez hit a two-run homer in the sixth. DeRamus had a two-run triple in the second and an RBI single in the fourth; both hits gave the Mighty Oaks the lead.

“We’re starting to come together as a team and playing better fundamental baseball,” Holt said. “The guys are taking a better approach at the plate and taking what the pitchers are giving us, and the pitchers have been competing.

“I’m excited to see how we finish up this trip and get ready for the north.”

SOFTBALL
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The Salem CC softball team grabbed its first two wins of his North Carolina swing, sweeping Fayetteville Tech 14-3 and 15-3.

The Mighty Oaks pounded 18 hits – seven for extra bases – in the opener and 11 hits with four doubles in the nightcap.

Ella Hayes led the hit parade in the opener by going 4-for-5. Jocelyn Melendez and Callie Rozak both had two hits and three RBIs. Val Hatterer (two RBIs) and Tiana Wilson both had three hits.

They broke open the nightcap with nine runs in the sixth inning. Bella Rappa had three hits and two RBIs in the nightcap, while Melendez and Hatterer both had two hits and three RBIs.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Salem CC’s softball southern swing got off to a soggy start and it didn’t go much better when they finally got on the field. The Mighty Oaks were swept by Wake Tech 9-8 and 11-4.

Their opening doubleheader with Southeastern CC-Whiteville Monday was washed out and pushed back to Thursday. They lost Tuesday’s opener on a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh then couldn’t get a shutdown inning in the nightcap.

Brianne Foster’s bases-loaded single with one out in the bottom of the seventh decided the opener.

The Mighty Oaks (4-2) rallied from deficits of 1-0, 6-3 and 8-5 to tie the game in the top of the seventh. Callie Rozak and Ella Hayes both hit two-run homers for Salem.

In the nightcap, Wake Tech (7-6) answered Salem’s 1-0 lead with a run in the second, erased Salem’s 2-1 lead with three in the third and scored four in the bottom of the fourth after the Mighty Oaks tied the game with two in the top of the inning.

BASEBALL
ORLANDO, Fla. – The Mighty Oaks were swept for the second straight day on their Florida trip, losing to Prairie State (Ill.) 13-6 and 11-6.

The Mighty Oaks (3-9) took a 3-2 lead into the fifth inning of the opener, but the Pioneers (3-3) erupted for eight runs to control of the game. Tyler Hacker hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning for Salem.

Jon Gambone followed his no-hitter with four solid innings for the Mighty Oaks. He gave up six hits, one earned run and struck out three without walking a batter.

A big inning did them in in the nightcap, too. The Mighty Oaks led 2-0 in the second, but the Pioneers scored three in the bottom of the second and six in the third.

Hacker had two more hits for Salem and pitched the final three innings without giving up a hit, but walking three and allowing an unearned run. Jason LeBold had two doubles and Chris Laute had two RBIs.

MEDIA, Pa. — The Salem CC baseball went into their weekend series with Delaware County CC looking to prove a point. They did it, emphatically, the old fashioned way — by winning.

The Mighty Oaks completed the sweep of their series with the Phantoms by sweeping Saturday’s doubleheader, 13-2 and 10-6.

The team didn’t take kindly to the way the Phantoms messed with them late in a game the Mighty Oaks were winning big in their late-season run to a playoff berth last year and more than a few of their personnel advocated burying them the next time they played.

To their credit, they didn’t resort to stealing bases or bunting runners over with a big lead or doing any of the other untoward things against the unwritten rules of the game. They simply played to win the game.

“We just played baseball,” Mighty Oaks coach John Holt said. “We had a guy get hurt (in that game) and that was the thing that kind of upset us a little bit. But it’s baseball, at the end of the day we’ve gotta play the game and we’re going to play the game the right way.

“There were things I wanted to get accomplished this weekend in regards to getting better and working on some of the fundamentals we had been lacking. We needed to prove to ourselves that we were better than what we had been playing. We had to work on some things and we had an opportunity to work on those things and I think we got better by seeing a little bit of success.”

They certainly set the tone early, like first-pitch early. Back in the leadoff spot for the first time this season, Yen Rodriguez opened the game by hitting the first pitch to right for a home run. The sophomore outfielder had two hits in each game, stole four bases in the opener and hit for the cycle in the doubleheader.

The leadoff homer touched off a five-run first that had the Mighty Oaks (3-5) off and running.

“We had to move him back to the leadoff spot because of Jason LeBold’s hamstring issue and he was a little nervous,” Holt said. “He talked to the coaches prior and we basically said in an 0-0 count, it’s a damage count, so it doesn’t matter if you’re the leadoff guy or the 3 guy or the 2 guy have a good approach and he really did focus on his approach today and it paid off for him.”

Rodriguez wasn’t the only Salem player to have a big day.

Demetrius DeRamus reached base three times in the opener, had two hits in the nightcap and stole five bases in the doubleheader. Tyler Hacker went 4-for-4 with four runs and five RBIs in the doubleheader. Cole Dawson went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases from the 9-hole in the opener and had four hits on the day.

Both starting pitchers gave the Mighty Oaks a chance. Game 1 starter J.D. Wilson started off a little shaky after waiting out the long visitors first, loading the bases with a single and two walks, then roared back to strike out the side. He finished with seven strikeouts in three innings and the four relievers that followed him gave up one earned run and fanned five more.

Nightcap starter Jared Vandersteur kept the Phantoms off the board through the first three innings and the Mighty Oaks gave him an 8-0 lead, so the four runs he allowed in the fourth were just an annoyance. He went five innings and struck out seven.

“We played well,” Holt said. “We’re not satisfied yet. We can continue to get better. Approach at the plate has gotten better and that’s something we’ve been trying to focus on. Defense we’re working on. Pitching, obviously, did a lot better.

All in all I’m happy with the sweep, but in the things we’re working on and the things we’re trying to get better I did see some significant improvement.”

The Mighty Oaks head out to Florida at 5:30 Sunday morning. They open play Monday with a doubleheader against Alexandria Tech & CC. Freshmen Pat Seitzinger and Seth McCormick are Salem’s scheduled starters. At some point in the 12-game trip the Mighty Oaks hope to see the much-anticipated debut of Fernando Rodney Jr., the son of the former MLB All-Star pitcher known for his 11 teams and crooked hat, out of the bullpen.

“Historically we normally like to get those games in before conference play,” Holt said. “With the conference expanding this isn’t so much a preparation for conference any more. It’s an opportunity to get ready for the rest of the conference season and kind of sure things up.”

No-no for Gambone

Salem CC right-hander pitches his first no-hitter since high school, maybe Mighty Oaks’ first ever, in 18-2 rout of Delaware County CC

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

CARNEYS POINT — Jon Gambone has been on a long road back from multiple surgeries to return to the mound. It wasn’t that Friday night marked the end of the comeback trail, but it was a pretty good sign he’s moving in the right direction.

The big right-hander threw his first no-hitter since high school — four years ago — and maybe the first in Salem CC history after he fashioned a seven-inning gem in the Mighty Oaks’ first win of the season, 18-2 over Delaware County CC.

Gambone threw 82 pitches, mostly fastballs and sliders, to get through the Phantoms. He allowed only three base-runners — an infield error in the third, an outfield error in the fifth and two on errors and a full-count walk in the seventh — and faced only two batters over the minimum. He struck out 10.

It was a stark contrast to his first two starts when he had trouble finding the zone. Both lasted only three innings – 42 total batters – and yielded 13 hits, seven walks and 15 runs (10 earned). He did bring it back somewhat in his next two innings in the opener, but not in his second start against Brookdale, which he admitted had him down on himself.

“Honestly I did not see that coming at all,” Gambone said. “Actually I didn’t even I was throwing today. Found out when I got here that I was throwing, then had to get myself mentally right and then just went out there and did the best I could do.

“I don’t know how it happened, I just went out there. I tried not to think about it, too, throughout the whole game because I knew I had a no hitter. And nobody was talking to me. I knew that’s why it happened, too, because no one said the words.”

Mighty Oaks head coach John Holt couldn’t remember a no-hitter in his tenure with the team and neither could volunteer assistant John Green, the former head coach, in his. In addition to the 10 punch outs, Gambone got seven ground ball outs and three fly outs.

Salem CC pitcher Jon Gambone (L) and catcher Angel Velez share a smile after Gambone’s no-hitter in the Mighty Oaks’ win over Delaware County CC Friday. (Top photo) The pitcher is congratulated by his teammates in the post-game handshake line.

Gambone threw a five-inning no-hitter against Pilgrim Academy his senior year at Gateway (2021). He also was credited with a five-inning one-hitter against Woodbury as a sophomore. He’s since undergone a series of surgeries, including hip and Tommy John, that has kept him off the mound until this spring.

“It’s something,” Holt said. “For him coming back off of surgery and all the work that he’s put in, it’s well deserved. He works very hard. I’m happy to see the success he had. It’s been a long road for him to get back and … he’s starting to find his rhythm a little bit.”

The gem was the fourth no-hitter Salem catcher Angel Velez has caught in his career. He knew the pitcher had it in him.

“Gambone’s always good,” Velez said. “He goes out there and gives all he’s got every time. He doesn’t leave any in the tank.”

Actually, there was some uncertainty if Gambone would draw the start Friday. It originally was going to Jared Vandersteur, but then Holt got to thinking about the team’s upcoming trip to Florida, potential matchups there and who needed what time to recover and decided to give the ball to Gambone. Besides, the 6-4, 230-pound sophomore has been the Mighty Oaks’ regular Friday starter and the decision allowed Holt to keep that routine intact.

The Mighty Oaks (1-5) had been on the other side of games like Friday in each of their first five starts. This time they led wire to wire. Delco starter Hunter Whitten did keep their hitters off-balance early with breaking pitches, but they finally broke it open with six runs in the fifth and buried the Phantoms with nine in the sixth.

They had extra incentive for this one. They were miffed at the way Delco small-balled them to death in the sixth inning of a game Salem was leading 24-3 late last season and were anxious to show their displeasure Friday.

The tension was palpable, but Holt downplayed the revenge factor.

“We were just playing baseball,” he said.

The series concludes with a doubleheader at Delco Saturday before the Mighty Oaks fly off to Florida early Sunday morning.

Softball’s successful start

By Riverview Sports News

PENNSVILLE – The Salem CC softball team opened its 2025 season in a most dramatic fashion and carried that emotion into an 11-run first inning in the nightcap to sweep Monroe-Bronx 7-6 and 19-6 Saturday at the Pennsville LL Complex.

Lilly Peverelle’s one-out single in the bottom of the seventh plated Ella Hayes with the winning run in the opener. Hayes, last year’s Region XIX Player of the Year, started the rally with a line single to center and stole second before riding home on Pavarelle’s second hit of the game.

The Mighty Oaks came from behind twice to win it. They trailed 3-0 in the second and 5-4 in the fifth.

Peverelle, Hayes, Bella Rappa and Jill Robinson all had two hits in the game. Robinson also had three RBIs and pitched the final inning and a third to get the win.

“It’s early in the season for these feelings but it was an exciting moment for the team,” Salem coach Angel Rodriguez said. “We had to work through some rust in that game. It was an up and down battle, but the team kept their composure and finished strong.”

And it carried over into the nightcap.

The Mighty Oaks sent 16 batters to the plate in the first. Eight of the first nine hitters reached safely with the only interruption being a successful sacrifice. Among the big hits in the inning, Rappa had a go-ahead single, Val Hatterer a two-run double, Robinson a two-run single and Callie Rozak a two-run homer.

Robinson had two hits and four RBIs from the No. 9 spot in the order. Hayes had two hits and two RBIs. Peverelle and Hatterer each had two RBIs and Rozak drove in three.

“The message was clear to the team after Game 1: Enjoy the first win but (have a) short memory and prepare for Game 2,” Rodriguez said. “We learned a lot with our approaches and getting in our first competition, but we had to look back in and get the job done again.

“We talked with some players on adjustments going into the next game and they were ready.”

Another hard loss

Salem CC baseball suffers third straight lop-sided loss; Rodriguez hits Mighty Oaks’ first homer of the year; Holt: ‘We’ve got to stop playing scared’

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

CARNEYS POINT – The tough start to a new season continued for the Salem CC baseball team Friday afternoon as the Mighty Oaks suffered a third straight lop-sided loss in their home opener.

Eight infield errors in the first five innings led to at least nine unearned runs and the bats were silent most of the game in a 22-6 loss to third-ranked Brookdale at the Carneys Point Rec Complex.

It was the Mighty Oaks’ third straight loss by double digits to open the season.

“We’ve got to keep routine plays routine; simple game,” Salem coach John Holt said he told his team after the game. “At one point it was nine unearned runs. You can’t win baseball games that way.

“We’ve got to stop playing scared.”

Just like after Sunday’s doubleheader against Sussex it was hard for Holt to find something positive to take away from the day. If you really pushed, it might be answering Brookdale’s four-run visitors’ first with four when they came to bat. Or Yen Rodriguez hitting their first home run of the season in his first home at-bat, a two-run shot in that four-run response.

But there wasn’t much beyond that. Brookdale kept scoring after its first-inning outburst. The Mighty Oaks didn’t get another hit after theirs until scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh of a game that was destined for the seven-inning run rule.

They did threaten in the fifth. They loaded the bases with one out on two walks and an infield error, but Brookdale starter Tyler Spencer struck out the next two batters to end the threat and complete his day.

In fact, the Jersey Blues (4-0) scored in every inning to extend another unwalcomed Salem streak. The Mighty Oaks (0-3) have given up a run in each of their last 17 innings. The last time they put up a defensive zero was the third inning of last week’s Game 1 against Sussex CC.

It’s a head-scratcher.

“We’ve got to figure it out,” Holt said.

The series concludes Saturday with an 11 a.m. doubleheader at Brookdale. J.D. Wilson and Jared Vandersteur, a pair of Pennsville products, are expected to start on the mound for Salem.

ACORNS: Demetrius DeRamus had a pair of doubles for the Mighty Oaks and reached base three times … Angel Velez and Tyler Hacker also reached base three times … Rodriguez homered in his first home at-bat last year, too. It was an inside-the-park job in his first college at-bat.

Opening Daze

Salem CC swept in season-opening doubleheader; Holt: ‘We’ve got some things to tighten up’

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

CHICHESTER, Pa. – Opening Day is supposed to be a time when everything is fresh and excitement is high. But at the end of this day the Salem CC baseball team would just as soon have a do-over.

The Mighty Oaks picked up a doubleheader late in the week to serve as their 2025 Season Opener after their first three series were pushed back or canceled by the winter weather, but it wasn’t a good day. They were swept by Sussex CC 14-4 and 17-3 at the MSI Sports Complex that at one time was going to be the Mighty Oaks’ home.

“We’ve struggled to get outside, we’ve struggled to be out on the field, and I think it kind of showed today,” Salem coach John Holt said. “We’ve got some things to tighten up and once we do that we’ll get the ship righted.”

With all the arms the Mighty Oaks had to replace from last year’s Region XIX playoff team, pitching was going to be an issue that had to be settled. It proved to remain a work in progress Sunday.

The six pitchers Salem used in the doubleheader threw hard, they just had trouble with their control. They walked 16 and hit 13 batters in the doubleheader. Sussex first baseman Mitchell Doucette took one for the team twice in each game and center fielder Cole Bolton did it four times in the nightcap.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a struggle so much,” Holt said of the pitching. “I think guys have to get their innings.

“I think we’ve done an adequate job in regards to replacing some of the arms we lost. I think we’ve got a lot of quality guys. Some of them, we’ve got to get healthy; some of them, we’ve got to get innings and get their reps under their belt. I think we’ll be fine. I think it’s just a matter of working out the kinks and getting the attitudes right.”

Jon Gambone was making his first college start since March 18, 2023 as the Mighty Oaks’ Opening Day Game 1 starter. His last appearance in a college game was April 8 of that year before Tommy John surgery put him on the shelf until Sunday.

The sophomore right-hander was hoping to throw around 70 pitches, go four or five innings and “feel overall comfortable” in his return. He may have met his pitch count, but he went only three innings against the Skylanders, throwing about 40 pitches in the first inning.

He hit the first batter he faced, walked the next and gave up an RBI single before recording an out. Later in the inning he surrendered a single, walk and two-run single – all with the bases loaded – to the bottom three hitters in the order. The Skylanders sent 11 men to the plate in their first inning of the season and scored five runs to wipe out Salem’s 1-0 lead.

“It was definitely hard to keep my heart rate down, for sure; I was definitely very nervous,” Gambone said. “I think it was more nerves and excitement. I think I was so over-excited, so over-amped up, it was so hard to control it.”

A similar thing happened to him, he said, in his Mighty Oaks’ debut coming back from a hip injury in 2023. He gave up six hits and five runs in four-plus innings on that Opening Day.

The Gateway product was much better in his next two innings Sunday, facing eight batters, giving up two hits and striking out two without allowing a run.

“I felt confident and was able to bounce back that second and third inning,” he said. “I figure I’ll be able to keep going, too, a little later in the season.”

J.D. Wilson started in the nightcap. He threw it as hard as ever, but had some trouble reeling it in. He did strike out seven in his three innings, but he also walked two and hit four. The Mighty Oaks need him and Gambone to give them at least five innings to be effective.

In a game Holt conceded didn’t have many positives – “we didn’t do much well today,” he said –the Mighty Oaks did mount a threat in the fourth inning of the nightcap.

They trailed 6-0 entering the inning, but scored three and had the go-ahead run at the plate with bases loaded and two outs, but the Skylanders got out of it. Angel Velez drove in the first run with an RBI-double, Yen Rodriguez drew a bases-loaded walk and a third run scored when Sussex misplayed Hunter Cohen’s sharp grounder to second.

“I think our approach at the plate’s got to be better and I think that’s where we struggled today, mostly,” Holt said. “If our approach is better I think we put together some better at bats. The whole pass-the-stick philosophy that we kind of believe in here wasn’t there today.”

Matt Murphy drove in Salem’s first two runs of the season with an RBI double in the first inning of the opener and a RBI single in the third. Velez and Cole Dawson each had two hits in the nightcap.

The Mighty Oaks will get their do-over of sorts Monday in their home against Genesee. The 7-inning doubleheader begins at 2 p.m. Genesee (2-2) split doubleheaders with Camden CC and RCSJ-Cumberland over this weekend.

Salem’s projected starting pitchers for the doubleheader are sophomore right-hander Jared Vandersteur and freshman left-hander Pat Seitzinger. Both will be making their first collegiate starts. Vandersteur made five relief appearances last season.

“I think once we get our reps under our belt … I think tomorrow will be better than today because we got it out of our system a little bit,” Holt said.
