Baseball Splits with UNH

The wolverine baseball team hosted UNH this weekend. After losing the first game 11-3 the team fought back to win the second 5-1.

"We faced some adversity after losing the first game, and rebounded well to win the back half of the doubleheader. I was pleased the see the guys respond with a solid game and some energy in the second game. We have some things to work on this week, and we need to learn from the UNH weekend to make ourselves better as a team. There were a few individuals with strong performances, including Bo Belt, however, we need to understand the importance of team success if we're going to become the team we think we can be," said Coach Izaryk.

In the first game of the doubleheader, Sean Mullen (Marston Mills, MA) pitched better than the score suggested, having been the victim of some tough breaks behind him. Bo Belt (Concord, MA) reached base four times, going two for three with a walk and reaching on an error. Tanner Chase (York, ME) also reached base cleanly on all four of his at bats with three walks and a single. Harry Knowles (Seabrook, NH) also had two hits.

In the second game, Bridgton bounced back behind the pitching of Ben Callahan (Exeter, NH) and Christian Lavoie (Hopkinton, MA) who combined for seven innings giving up only one run. Joey McCarthy (Stoughton, MA)was two for three with two runs scored and Knowles added the big hit of the game, a two out two RBI single in the fifth inning. Austin Wood (Naples, ME) was also three for three with a double and run scored.

The baseball team will be working hard in practice to prepare for their next match up where they will travel to Central Maine Community College on Wednesday September 15th to play at 4:00 P.M.
