Hollinger on Fire, Strikes out 15 Spartans Thursday, March 28th, 1991 Led by an outstanding performance from starter Phil Hollinger, the Richard Montgomery HS Rockets topped the West Springfield HS Spartans today by a score of 8-4 at Muskies Ballpark. The 17-year-old Hollinger brought his top game to the mound, striking out 15 batters while allowing 6 hits and giving up 3 walks. "He made a lot of good pitches out there," Spartans manager Baskin Upham said. "He made some of our guys look bad. We didn't help matters, but we really have to give him credit -- he didn't make many mistakes." So far this year Hollinger has made 7 starts, tossed 49.1 innings, struck out 62 batters and walked 29. His record is 2-4 with a 5.29 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .262 batting average. |
