Wolverines Prepare for Tough Road Ahead

Pitchers Lane Garvey (Marlborough, MA), Billy Kenyon (Avon, CT), and Barrett Elliott (Foxborough, MA) shared the spotlight, shutting out MAISAD rival Gould Academy as the Wolverines upped their record to 5-4. The pitching trio held Gould to just one hit while striking out a dozen over five innings. With that conference win in hand, BA coach Brad Smith looks ahead to Wednesday’s contest against Harvard. “We’ll have our work cut out for us, for sure. I never know what to expect from them. We’ve faced inexperienced freshmen pitchers as well as veteran seniors finishing rehab.” Look for a Gavin Scott (Vienna, VA) to get the nod on the mound as he guns for his third straight win. After Harvard, the Wolverines return home to face two more college opponents. Central Maine Community College comes to North Bridgton on Thursday. Game time is set for 4:00. Nathan Cook (Riverside, SC) is slated to get his third start of the season. Nearby St. Joseph’s College finishes the brief Wolverine homestand as they make the short drive for a 4:00 contest on Friday. Bobby Williams (Wilmot Falls, MA), Monday’s hard-luck loser to Southern Maine Community College, will toe the rubber for that encounter. BA’s sixth game of the week ends on Saturday as the Wolverines travel to Massachusetts to take on the Winchendon School at 1:30. Smith is hoping that pitcher Sean Mullaney (Newton, MA) will back from a brief sickness to go after his second victory.
