Parkway North's 6-0 Win Over Ladue, Mostly a Family Affair
Left-handed Joey Reeves kept Rams batters in check, scattering four hits over six frames.
At Parkway North, baseball is pretty much all in the family.
The Vikings, a close-knit bunch muscled up for 8 hits and shut out the visiting Ladue Rams Monday, 6-0 on their home field.
Left-handed, Joey Reeves, a sophomore with a 4-1 record and 2.75 ERA stymied Ladue batters scattering four hits before giving way to relief help in the top of the seventh. That pushes the Vikings record to 16-3, winners of the last 8 games.
“We’re all Parkway North here,” said coach Fred Friedman, a 1998 Viking graduate. Friedman, and all the other coaches, Brett Katz, Mark Reeder, Mark Linn and JV coach Bob Bunton graduated from the school.
Reeves had his mind on the Rams most of the school day. “I was especially thinking about this game during the last class block of the day. Ladue has a very good team, we respect them and this was a big win for us,” said Reeves who’s Vikings were runners up to Rockwood Summit in last year’s state championship game.
Noah Rosen, hitting .387 went two for three and drove in a pair of runs.
Other hitting stars were Jon Shanker, Andrew Huss and Ben Campbell (3 for 3 at the plate).
