As a sophomore in 2022, Arencibia posted a 5-3 record with a 1.89 ERA.
In 10 appearances, all starts, Arencibia pitched 55.1 innings and allowed 15 earned runs on 44 hits. He walked 14 and struck out 68.
At the plate, Arencibia, mostly playing second base when not pitching, batted .241 with 17 RBI.
The No. 9 Patriots (19-9-1) struggled against Ainsworth. The senior Tulane commitment tossed his first prep no-hitter. He struck out three Curtis hitters and allowed only three more to reach base.
“(Ainsworth) was awesome,” Catholic coach Brad Bass said. “He’s been doing that all year for us. He’s a guy you want on the mound when you want to set the tone for a series like this. Real proud of him tonight.”
Junior Tulane commit Giancarlo Arencibia did the job on the mound and at the plate as the Raiders broke a sixth-inning tie, exploding late to whip the Bears 8-2 at McMurry Park in a game heard live on NASH ICON 106.1 FM.
Arencibia went 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits. He walked four and struck out 10 and had great command with his high-riding four-seam fastball throughout. Arencibia also had the biggest hit of the game for Rummel, a two-out, RBI single in the top of the sixth to break a 2-2 tie, igniting a three-run rally.
The Bears (36-3) got even in the bottom of the second inning as Tulane commit Giancarlo Arencibia walked Prescot Marsh and Andrew Clapinski to start the inning and advanced both with a wild pitch. With two outs, Tulane commit Cole Cranford ripped a two-run double to left to even the game.
In the top of the seventh, Rummel got huge insurance as Tulane commit Evan Burg walked and Ryan was hit by a pitch for the second time. Centanni singled sharply to right to load the bases.
I noticed that also. Heavy local recruiting similar to Joe B days. Might be Legislature Scholarships also.
Arencibia, who like Ryan committed early in his prep career, went 7-1 with a 1.90 ERA for the Raiders as a junior, including a pair of no-hitters in the postseason that earned him Allstate Sugar Bowl Amateur Athlete of the Month for April 2023. He struck out 83 in 59 2/3 innings.
I am at a point now listening to Coach Fritz about being a developmental program, is recruiting the barometer of success or coaching and developing players upward? Jewett did not coach up, players declined in our program!!! I believe we have to look at coaching staffs differently than in the past, sure you must have a medium to high base in recruiting but the coaching needs to coach players up to be a successful and winning program at Tulane, culture, and teamwork are a must. A reason looking at a winning coach where recruiting is easy may not be the right choice. If Fritz leaves, we need a replacement that can take good players and make them great like Coach Fritz has. Tyjae, Nick, Duce, and Dorian Williams were developmental players, they came into our program lightly recruited low 3-star players at best. Same with Pratt only recruited by the IVY league schools. Some good high school players are sitting the bench with Coach Stockton. Is she the problem? Keeping Coach Fritz is a must at all costs because of the above reasons!!!
