Baseball Starts the Season With a Win

The baseball team had an exciting home opener with their first win in the books. The Wolverines beat Southern Maine Community College 4-1.

Joey McCarthy (Stoughton, MA) went 1-3 with a go-ahead triple, 2 RBI’s, and a run scored. Garrett Alibozek (Adams, MA) added two hits as well as two RBI’s. Harry Knowles (Seabrook, NH) kept the rally alive in the 5th inning with a big hit and a stolen base.

Christian Lavoie (Hopkinton, MA), Patrick Moody (Fair Haven, NJ), and Benjamin Callahan (Exeter, NH) combined pitched seven innings of one run baseball.

Coach Izaryk was very happy with how the team came together to secure their first win. "We played well this afternoon, against a quality opponent. I encouraged the guys to play hard and stay within themselves in the home opener. Too many times, players get so excited about finally having the opportunity to play and compete, they ignore the fundamentals they've worked so hard on during pre-season. I was very proud of the way our guys played the game today; taking care of the baseball, making routine plays and putting pressure on the defense,” said Izaryk.

The baseball team is looking forward to their next match up as they play at home again on Saturday September 11th against the University of New Hampshire at noon.
