Sachem Alum Rafe Schlesinger Records First NCAA Strikeout

Picking up right where he left off in high school, Sachem alum Rafe Schlesinger recorded one strikeout against the lone hitter he faced in his NCAA Division I debut for Miami on Friday night.

Schlesinger, who pitched at Sachem East, was one of the top high school recruits in the country and is pitching out of the bullpen to start his collegiate career. His strikeout came in the eighth inning with a runner on base.

Miami beat Towson 10-8. They’ll host the tigers for three more games this weekend.
