Whiz Kid: Northwood High School's Andrew Soncrant

Written By:  David Stinson

Northwood High School senior Andrew Soncrant played his way into the record books on Tuesday, after throwing a complete game victory and striking out a Northwood-record 13 batters as the visiting Gladiators defeated Watkins Mill HS 6-2 in varsity baseball.

Soncrant has been a member of the varsity team since being called up for the final game of his freshman season, but his performance against the Wolverines was definitely his finest. He also drove home Northwood’s first run of the game with a first-inning double that scored Ian Winnick. Then Carter Stinson drove in the 2^nd run and the Gladiators never trailed.

Andrew has been a starter on the varsity baseball team since 10th grade. He also is a member of the school's National Honor Society and a contributor to the school's in-house daily televison news program, Northwood Update.

Northwood also turned in a game on defense as the team won its second game of the season.

Northwood (2-6 overall) returns to action on Thursday afternoon at Rockville and then travels to Poolesville on Saturday afternoon.
