Mehmedi Hits Milestone with 100th Win

Yesterday's game against nationally ranked Camden County Community College, proved to be an exciting fixture. The Skylanders captured their 9th win of the year in a nail biter of a game, with the final score 9-8. Not only was it a great victory, but it also was Head Coach Mehmedi's 100th win at Sussex. Mehmedi, who played for Sussex and now is in his 7th year coaching for the Skylanders, was excited about the accomplishment, but focused on the team's success. Mehmedi stated, "It takes a group of people to reach a milestone like this. I am certainly grateful with who I coach with and also the staff within the athletic department. Eventhough milestones are great to reach and strive for, beating a nationally ranked team certainly takes the front page today. I am proud of the boys and how they battled this entire game. We are looking to keep this momentum going as we head into the weekend against Del Tech." 

Luke Steinman got the win for the Skylanders after coming in for relief and pitching 4 innings, earning 5 k's. It was Steinman's first college win. Notable hitters were Nick Grifone, who went 2-4 with a home run, and Gustavo Souza going 2-4 with a triple and 2 RBI's.  Edgardo Matute got the Save.
