Baseball: Schiefer gets plenty of help from Kaneland bats

LASALLE — When Alex Schiefer stepped on the mound Thursday, he already had a 2-run cushion.

That was more than enough for the Kaneland senior.

Schiefer allowed just four hits to help the Knights to a 14-0, five-inning victory over LaSalle-Peru in an Interstate Eight Conference game at Huby Sarver Field.

“I think we played great,” Schiefer said. “We got the bats working early. We scored two runs in the first, which was about as many as we scored in the first two games of the series, so that was great to help me. I just wanted to pick them up after they gave me some runs, and I did my job.”

Schiefer struck out eight batters and walked none.

“I tried to limit the amount of balls I threw,” Schiefer said. “Last time out, I walked too many people. We’ve been doing that this series. I did my best to keep it in the zone. I let the defense work, and that ended up getting me some strikeouts as well.”

Schiefer allowed one hit in each the first, third, fourth and fifth innings.

He ended the first inning with a double play, struck out two batters after Alex Galindo’s double in the third and ended the fourth on a strikeout after Jacob Gross’ triple. The game ended on a caught stealing in the fifth.

“Schiefer set the tone for us on the mound, and the offense supported him the whole time,” Kaneland coach Brian Aversa said. “We did a really nice job getting him some runs early, and we just kept adding to it, and Schiefer shut them down.

“His stuff was working for him. He felt real comfortable throwing three pitches. The wind and a little bit of a delay (due to lightning) can throw you off, but he stayed focused and knew he didn’t have to do everything himself. He let the defense work, turned a double play.”

The Knights’ offense started strong, as Anthony Campise delivered a two-run double in the first.

Kaneland scored one in the second and three in the third before blowing the game open with an 8-run fifth that was stopped for half an hour due to lightning.

“I think we were a little more aggressive at the plate than we had been the last couple games,” Aversa said. “Everybody was seeing the ball well. We were hitting it well. We had big two-out hits with runners on. It made things easier for us defensively and pitching.”

The Knights got a lot of production from the bottom third of the order. Nos. 7-9 hitters Preston Popovich, Jack Wituk and Tom Thill combined to go 5 of 10 with 5 RBI and 5 runs.

“Those guys have been doing that most of the year,” Aversa said. “It’s not expected, but it is a luxury to have, and we want them to continue doing that. Those guys are seeing the ball well, putting it in play and setting the table for the top of the order.”

The Knights are 7-3 and 3-0 in the conference after completing the sweep in the first I-8 series of the season.

“It feels great,” Schiefer said. “It’s a great start for us. It’s fun.”

Galindo, Gross, Seth Adams and Aieden Wenskunas each had one hit for LaSalle-Peru (6-9, 0-3), which has lost seven games in a row.

“We didn’t start off very well,” LaSalle-Peru coach Matt Glup said. “When we boot the ball around a little bit, set the table for them and fall behind hitters, a good team like that, that’s what they’re going to do to you.

“We have to find ourselves at the plate. We have to get our confidence back at the plate and be able to put the ball in play and drive the ball around the yard like we know we’re capable of doing. Baseball is a funny game. Sometimes you’re feeling it and have your confidence, and other times you don’t.

“Right now, we just have to keep fighting, keep working and see if we can get back to what we know we’re capable of doing.”

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
