Baseball Has a Busy Weekend

The Wolverine baseball team had a weekend of mixed results. BA started out strong as they beat The University of New England 8-0. Ben Callahan (Exeter, NH) led the shutout game with seven great innings of pitching. In his time on the mound he totaled nine strikeouts. While Callahan did his part in keeping UNE off the scoreboard, BA stayed strong at the plate. Bo Belt (Concord, MA), Jason Hudson (Raleigh, NC), Harry Knowles (Seabrook, NH), and Austin Wood (Naples, ME) each had two hits in the game.

As the team traveled to Lynn, MA on Sunday, they were not as successful as they had hoped for. In the first game of the Showcase BA fell to Boston University 5-4. In the very close game Christian Lavoie (Hopkinton, MA) threw four strong innings. Joey McCarthy (West Roxbury, MA) had two hits while Terry Casey (Halifax, NS) went one for three and Wood had a double. The team then faced off against Harvard University where McCarthy and Knowles in a combined effort kept the Crimson to only three runs. However, Harvard's ace was able to quiet BA’s bats and hold the team to one run. Sean Mullen (Barnstable, MA) went one for one with two walks and McCarthy added a double for the Wolverines.
