Williamsburg was also was helpful in getting the Eagles their third and final win, one in which the Golden Eagles scored a season high 24 runs.

The season is over now for Tyrone, with no chance of playoffs.

“Even though we didn’t have the season we hoped for it was still a very fun season,” said starting Infielder Pooky Soellner. “I loved everybody on the team, I’m sad it’s over.”

The good news is that the Eagles will have seven starters returning for next season.

Key returners will be Zach Soellner, Tony Politza, Brian Gunter, Drew Hunter, Coy Focht, Brett Robinson, Gary Weaver and Matt Brenneman.

The team will also be under new leadership as head coach Mark Savino will be stepping down at the conclusion of the season.  The school board has already advertised for a new head coach and next year will begin a new era of Tyrone baseball.

“Hopefully next season is the start of something new,” said returning starter Zack Soellner. “With seven starters coming back hopefully we can forget the past season and move on to bigger and better things.”
