Baseball Blanks UNE

The wolverine baseball team had an exciting win last night as they played the University of New England under the lights. The team had a shutout performance beating UNE 10-0.

Tanner Chase (York, ME) got things started with a first inning towering homerun. Garrett Alibozek (Adams, MA) and Austin Wood (Naples, ME) each added a pair of hits for the night. Sean Mullen (Barnstable, MA) had a great performance on the mound going four and a third innings before Christian Lavoie (Hopkinton, MA) came in to get the final two outs of the game which was cut short by the ten run rule. Bo Belt (Concord, MA), Joey McCarthy (West Roxbury, MA), and Ben Callahan (Exeter, NH) all added hits as well.

Coach Izaryk was thrilled after the game saying, "Sean Mullen was outstanding for us tonight. He threw a ton of strikes, and set the tone for our offense, allowing us to build a lead. Tanner Chase's home run in the 1st inning put us up 3-0, and with the way Sean was throwing the baseball, we felt the momentum in our dugout and carried it throughout the game. I was very impressed with our defense tonight, especially the 4-6-3 double play we turned to end the 3rd inning. Heading into a big weekend vs. UMaine, we need to continue to play clean defense behind solid pitching, which will make our jobs offensively, much easier."

The team will face their next team this coming weekend when they face the University Of Maine at home in a double header on Sunday October 17th starting at Noon.
