popping up all over the web for the small block super drivers. I really don't see, websites, message boards etc. this site is about providing added coverage for the class. Oswego is still the home of the supermodifieds.
Oswego pinner drivers#
There are usually a seven to 10 drivers that can win on any given night. They’ve continued to put on great shows and the class has remained competitive. They were the support division of the supermodifieds and they consistently put on a great show.ĭN: With such sites at Pinner’s Bar and Grille, the supermodified class already has a strong presence on the web, do you see as providing the same apparatus for the limiteds?ĬP: Over the years the class has gained more respect, as many of the top supermodified drivers are former limited drivers. Why?ĬP: When I started covering the limited supermodified division for most of the drivers were like, ‘You’re going to interview me?’ to me, it was newsworthy. (Standard web slang as well as other errors of the keyboard have been edited somewhat along with the online identities of the interviewer and interviewee…names changed to protect the innocent, etc.).ĭN: What was your initial inspiration for starting CP: I saw a niche that I thought not only needed to be filled but also deserved to be filled.ĭN: Could you elaborate? Why do you use the word "deserved" for instance. Recently contacted its intrepid Steel Palace beat writer via instant messenger for an interview. In past years, the class was labeled the limited supermodifieds. The site is dedicated to the main support class at Oswego Speedway, the so-called SBS class (small-block supermodifieds). This season, the track reporter is spreading his own wings across the digital racing world with a website of his own, Porter has gone so far as to snare a sponsorship slot. While McCrobie supports his players who wish to participate in other sports, he noted that it makes it difficult to compete against larger schools.įriday, the Bucs will venture to Liverpool High School to face a Warriors’ team that is undefeated in Colonial National play.įor the past few years, has been able to rely on the steady and knowledgeable reporting of Chris Porter for its Oswego Speedway coverage. Schools such as Liverpool and C-NS boast enrollments that can make it necessary for youths to commit to one sport year round. “Hitting has been our Achilles’ heel,” he said. Overall he sees Oswego lagging behind programs such as Liverpool and C-NS in terms of offense. “I think people have to understand the caliber of pitching these clubs have,” he said. He believes the level of pitching this season is very high. In terms of the Bucs’s status among teams in Section 3, McCrobie doesn’t number them among the top 10 across all classes. Sophomore Casey Gill (first base), junior Lexi Deming (second), sophomore Sara Molinari (shortstop), and junior Mandy Ranous (junior) each logged time against varsity competition last season.Īlthough Martin will be gone, McCrobie has high hopes for the future as well as this year. In addition to Martin, Oswego’s infield personnel are all returning starters despite there relative youth. The pillars of Oswego softball haven’t gone anywhere. For the nearly two decades that he has been at the helm of the program, Oswego has made pitching and defense its hallmarks. The coach noted that in recent years, softball teams have begun to place more and more of an emphasis on hitting. McCrobie said that his program is somewhat behind the curve in terms of its offensive acumen.
According to McCrobie, Oswego’s nine-run onslaught in a shutout win over Baldwinsville and a similar seven-run performance in a win over Auburn were the aberrations. Oswego coach Mike McCrobie said that he fully expects for that trend to continue. Pitching and defense have determined the majority of Oswego’s contests. Oswego bounced back Thursday evening with a convincing 9-0 rout of Central Square. Wednesday night, the Bucs conceded another league loss, this time to West Genesee, 4-2. In addition to a one-run loss to defending New York State champion and perennial Section 3 powerhouse Cicero-North Syracuse, Oswego went 1-2 at a tournament in the Southern Tier, the strongest region for softball in the state according to many college coaches. In recent contests, the Bucs, who have experienced albeit young players throughout their line-up, have come back to earth. What they didn’t know that they would find a way to win eight of their first nine games and a seize a perch atop the Colonial American standings. The Oswego varsity softball team’s coaching staff knew coming into the season that the Buccaneers would be able to rely on one of the top pitchers in Section 3 in senior Abby Martin.
