Severna Park baseball’s Angel Santiago-Cruz shuts down Arundel in 9-0 county championship win

Angel Santiago-Cruz is not going to Richmond on a baseball scholarship and is not on the radar of professional scouts because of his pitching prowess.

Santiago-Cruz earned his reputation as a power-hitting, slick-fielding shortstop. However, the Severna Park senior showed on Tuesday night that he’s a darn good pitcher as well.

Santiago-Cruz hurled a shutout through six innings and notched eight strikeouts to lead Severna Park to a 9-0 rout of Arundel in the county championship game at Joe Cannon Stadium in Harmans.
