Stallions Continue Perfect Run to Northern Region Championship

Frazier K's nine as South County handles Madison 10-0, rematch with Lake Braddock next

The further the South County Stallions go in the Northern Region tournament, the better they seem to be playing. On Wednesday, that meant six near perfect innings on the mound from Tyler Frazier and a 3-for-3, four RBI night from Mike Perez to give the Stallions a 10-0 win over Madison in the Northern Region semifinals and preserve a perfect 25-0 record. Frazier struck out nine – all but one swinging – and harmlessly scattered five hits as the Warhawks managed only one runner past first base. He also helped his own cause when he drove in South County’s first run of the night in the top of the first inning.

As the district’s top seed, South County was the home team even though the game was hosted by West Springfield. Frazier matched his season high in K’s and only allowed two hits, each coming in the top of the …

South County's Baseball Success Was Years in the Making

They begin the postseason tomorrow in West Springfield

They may have been small. They may have been still learning the game. They may have been awkward. But the seeds for South County’s attention-grabbing, perfect-so-far baseball season (20-0 and winners of the Patriot District regular season) were planted back in 2000, when this year’s group of seniors were just seven and eight- year-old Little Leaguers. One Springfield team had South County’s third baseman Luke Bondurant and star pitcher Evan Beal. While the West Springfield team had the Stallions’ starting shortstop and No. 2 pitcher, Tyler Frazier, throwing to this year’s clutch-hitting, pitch-blocking catcher Mike Perez. “Some of those teams were so good,” said Beal’s father Frank, “that it was harder to get out of the district than win …
