Wolfe strong for highly ranked Rams
West York grad Brandon Wolfe is catching for the West Chester University baseball team, which is currently ranked No. 5 in the nation.
Wolfe has played in 15 games for the 29-4 Rams and is hitting .279 (12-43). The sophomore has driven in six runs, with two doubles and has struck out only four times so far this season.
In late March, Wolfe drove in the winning run in extra innings, during a 6-5 win over Millersville University.
He also catches one of Division II’s best pitching staffs. The Rams have a team ERA of 2.29 and opponents are hitting just .224 off the staff.
West Chester has out-scored its opponents 228-96 on the season and started the campaign by winning its first 16 games, before dropping a pair of games in mid-March, then reeled off another 12 straight wins.
Sports shorts: The Stanley Cup playoffs got underway Wednesday night and unfortunately many U.S. viewers will miss the boat.
True, at least the Versus Network is on most cable and satellite providers have the network, but not that many are interested enough in hockey to tune in.
That is too bad. The NHL playoffs are perhaps the most entertaining in all of sports.
