Logan Olshenske hit a two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning to help Polytech High defeat Dover, 4-2, in a Henlopen Conference Northern Division baseball contest on Tuesday afternoon.

Sean Hanhauser pitched a complete game for the Panthers (7-4). Polytech scored twice in the bottom of the fourth, Dover (7-2) answered with two in the top of the fifth before Olshenske found a hole in the infield on a full count to break the tie.

Olshenske grew up in the Capital School District, playing on Dover’s junior varsity as a freshman before transferring to Polytech.

“We played a very good Dover team and I think everyone in the state knows how good they are,” said Polytech coach George Eilers. “We were fortunate with Sean on the mound we were able to get into some good counts and we were able to be successful against some of their really good hitters.”

The Panthers have now won three in a row and six of their last seven. They began the season 1-3, including a three-game losing streak that was capped with a 12-0 defeat in five innings to Smyrna.

“We’ve got a very young team and we got out of the gate slow,” Eilers said. “We were really questioning who we are as a baseball team and started out 1-3. The guys really took a gut check of what it means to play good baseball. Our challenge now is to keep building.”
