The Greenwave boys varsity baseball team bounced back from a lopsided loss Friday, March 20, with a dominant win and a narrow extra‑innings defeat Saturday, March 21, in a three‑game conference set against the Fernley Vaqueros.
The Greenwave opened the road series with a 10‑1 loss on March 20, their lowest‑scoring outing of the season. Fernley jumped ahead early with three runs in the first and four more in the fourth, while the Greenwave managed just one run in the sixth and finished with six hits. Dustin Stritenberger provided the brightest spot for the Greenwave, going 3‑for‑3 with a double, his first of the season.
CCHS answered emphatically in Saturday’s first game, rolling to an 11‑1 win behind a complete‑game performance from Zack Adams. Adams allowed only one earned run on three hits and struck out seven across seven innings. The Greenwave offense surged with 12 hits, including a three‑RBI, three‑run day from Carson Melendy and a 3‑for‑4, three‑run effort from Blake Dineen. The Greenwave scored three runs in the third, four in the fourth, and four more in the seventh to even the series.
The teams met again later that afternoon, with Fernley edging Churchill County 10‑9 in 11 innings. The Greenwave built an early lead with a two‑run second and three‑run third before adding four in the seventh to force extras, but Fernley’s 15‑hit attack proved just enough. Churchill County finished with eight hits and three errors in the narrow loss.
The Greenwave moved to 7 - 3 after the weekend set.
