Herkimer General's Baseball on a 22 game winning streak




        The Generals have found their grove on the field and are winning very impressively. After opening the season playing against a couple division II teams, the team was 2-4 to start the season. Jason Rathbun coach of the Generals says "We put our team in some tough games early in the season that have prepared us to be where we are at now." In Division III, they are 18-1, and in the Mountain Valley Conference, the Generals have a strong record of 17-0.

       The Generals have had some tough games in the winning streak but for the most part they have

been taking out teams with strong wins. Kyle Schwartz, a pitcher for the Generals has been

doing phenomenal, and has a 7-0 record on the mound. 

        Coach Rathbun is happy with the way his team is playing. He states that "I think we are starting to

form our lineup for the season and some pieces are starting to become fixtures in our lineup like Tyler

Hall hitting third for us and Luke Nethaway hitting fourth for us. We are right on track for where we

want to be at this point of the season." 

        The Generals have some tough games ahead of them. They will be taking on Schenectady

Community College, and Mohawk Valley Community College in their next few games. With 9 games

left in the season, the Generals are looking at a good strong record to enter Sub-Regional's in a few

week.
